Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated the period after the balance sheet date, noting no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, other than as noted below. Credit facility amendment. On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into its third amendment to the Second Amended Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”), which extended the maturity date of the Second Amended Credit Facility to April 13, 2020, provided that the 2019 Notes are retired or refinanced 90 days prior to their maturity. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Lenders completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base scheduled for April 1, 2015, resulting in a borrowing base decrease from $2,000.0 million to $1,700.0 million. The Company increased the Lenders’ aggregate elected commitment from $1,500.0 million to $1,525.0 million. The Lenders’ aggregate commitment can be increased to the full $1,700.0 million borrowing base by increasing the commitment of one or more Lenders. The Third Amendment also increased the Lenders in the bank group to 18 financial institutions supporting the Company’s borrowing base facility. Derivative instruments. In April and May 2015, the Company entered into new swap agreements with a weighted average price of $61.28 per barrel for total notional amounts of 1,102,000 barrels, 703,000 barrels and 31,000 barrels, which settle in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, based on the WTI crude oil index price. These derivative instruments do not qualify for and were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
