Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business Organization Riley Exploration Permian, Inc (the "Company") was formed as a Delaware limited liability company, Riley Exploration – Permian, LLC ("REP LLC"), in 2016. In February 2021, REP LLC consummated a merger pursuant to which REP LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengasco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tengasco”), and Tengasco changed its name to Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. (the "Merger"). The Company is a growth-oriented, independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs in Texas and New Mexico. Our Properties Our acreage is primarily located on large contiguous blocks in Yoakum County, Texas, which represents our Champions field and in Eddy County, New Mexico, which represents our Red Lake field. We are focused on horizontal drilling of conventional oil-saturated and liquids-rich formations that produce long-term stable cash flows in the Permian Basin. On April 3, 2023, the Company completed an acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the Yeso trend of the Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico ("2023 New Mexico Acquisition") from Pecos Oil & Gas, LLC. This acquisition included approximately 10,600 total contiguous net acres of leasehold, 18 net horizontal wells and 250 net vertical wells, which established our initial position in New Mexico. On May 7, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the Yeso trend of the Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico ("2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition"), which added 13,900 contiguous net acres to the Company's existing acreage in Eddy County. For further information regarding the 2023 New Mexico Acquisition and the 2024 New Mexico Asset Acquisition (the "2023 and 2024 New Mexico Acquisitions"), see Note 4 - Acquisitions of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Current Commodity Environment The U.S. and global economies and markets have experienced heightened volatility following impactful geopolitical events, the effects of widespread inflation and the impact of significantly higher interest rates. Prices for crude oil and condensate ("oil") and natural gas are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions, which have been and could continue to be volatile. The combination of geopolitical events, inflation and a volatile interest rate environment has led to increasing forecasts of a U.S. or global recession. Any such recession could prolong market volatility or cause a decline in commodity prices, among other potential impacts. The Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the future impact these events will have on the Company's results of operations, financial position, liquidity and the value of oil and natural gas reserves.
