Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | Derivatives In early June 2015, the Company began using derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to crude oil price volatility for a substantial portion of its near-term forecasted production. The Company's objectives for this program were to achieve a more predictable level of cash flows to support the Company’s capital expenditure program and to provide better financial visibility for the payment of dividends on common stock. The Company uses both fixed price swap agreements and costless collars to manage its exposure to crude oil price risk. While these derivative instruments are intended to limit the downside risk of adverse price movements, they may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements. The Company does not intend to enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company accounts for derivatives under the provisions of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") under which the Company records the fair value of the instruments on the balance sheet at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in income. Given cost and complexity considerations, the Company did not elect to use cash flow hedge accounting provided under ASC 815. Under cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments would be deferred in other comprehensive income and not recognized in earnings until the underlying hedged item impacts earnings. These derivative instruments can result in both fair value asset and liability positions held with each counterparty. These positions are offset to a single net fair value asset or liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company nets its fair value amounts of derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty pursuant to ISDA master agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. At June 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company had no derivative asset or liability positions. At June 30, 2016, the Company held a derivative instrument net asset position with its counterparty that had a fair value of $14,132. The Company monitors the credit rating of its counterparties and believes it does not have significant credit risk. Accordingly, we do not currently require our counterparties to post collateral to support the net asset positions of our derivative instruments. As such, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments. For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded in the consolidated statement of operations a gain on derivative instruments of $29,758 consisting of a realized gain of $43,890 on settled derivatives and an unrealized loss of $14,132 on unsettled derivatives. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded in the consolidated statement of operations a gain on derivative instruments of $3,439,229 consisting of a realized gain of $3,315,123 on settled derivatives and an unrealized gain of $124,106 on unsettled derivatives.
