Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] |  | As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and the Company’s financial performance for applicable years. The following table summarizes compensation values reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the average for our other NEOs, as compared to “compensation actually paid” and the Company's financial performance for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. “Compensation actually paid” includes payments made to executives during the applicable year such as salary, performance bonus, and various benefits. However, the SEC’s valuation methods for this section emphasize the changes in fair value of equity awards under applicable financial accounting standards, and as such, references to “compensation actually paid” below reflects the change in equity award values on the applicable calculation dates and does not necessarily reflect what our NEOs received year-to-year.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] |  | PEO From 2021 to 2022, compensation actually paid to the PEO decreased by $27,504,269 or (89%). Over this same period, the Company’s TSR increased by 3.7%, net income decreased by 16.2%, and before-tax free cash flow decreased by 21.4%. The key factor that drove the decrease in compensation actually paid to our PEO was due to the timing of equity award grants. The PEO received an equity award in 2021 following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy whereas a similar grant was not made in 2022. From 2020 to 2021, compensation actually paid to the PEO increased by $30,825,361 or 648.6%. Over this same period, the Company’s TSR increased by 81.8% and net income increased by over 600%. The key factors that drove the changes in compensation actually paid were the transition to a new PEO on December 31, 2020, the timing of the equity award grants in 2021 following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and the positive stock price performance for the Company in 2021 which impacted the PEO equity award values as shown in the table. Since a substantial majority of the compensation paid to the PEO during 2021 and 2022 was equity-based, the compensation actually paid is directly linked to increases or decreases in the Company’s stock price. Non-PEOs From 2021 to 2022, compensation actually paid to the Non-PEOs decreased by $6,618,272 or 82%. Over this same period, the Company’s TSR increased by 3.7%, net income decreased by 16.2%, and before-tax free cash flow decreased by 21.4%. The key factor that drove the decline in compensation actually paid in 2022 from the prior period was the timing of equity award grants. The non-PEOs did not receive equity awards in 2022; however, equity awards were granted in 2021 following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy on October 27, 2020. From 2020 to 2021, compensation actually paid to the Non-PEOs increased by $4,801,518 or 147%. Over this same period, the Company’s TSR increased by 81.8%, net income increased by over 600%. The key factors that drove the changes in compensation paid were the equity grants in 2021 following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and the positive stock price performance for the Company in 2021, which impacted the Non-PEO equity award values as shown in the table. Since a majority of the compensation paid to the non-PEOs during 2021 and 2022 was equity-based, the compensation actually paid is directly linked to increases or decreases in the Company’s stock price. |  |

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group [Text Block] |  | Company TSR versus Peer Group TSR Our peer group changed from 2021 to 2022. We added Crescent Energy Company which is a newly formed company with similar market capitalization and operations. We also added Talos Energy Inc. to our peer group due to its similar financial, operational and strategic metrics as well as its presence in the carbon sequestration sector in the United States. The relationship of our TSR to the two peer groups as of December 31 for each year presented in the table below:
