Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | 1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 have been prepared by U.S. Energy Corp. ("we," "us," "U.S. Energy" or the "Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The financial statements at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Energy One LLC ("Energy One"), which owns the majority of the Company's oil and gas assets. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company for the reported periods. Entities in which the Company holds at least 20% ownership or in which there are other indicators of significant influence are accounted for under the equity method, whereby the Company records its proportionate share of the entities' results of operations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 10-K"). Subsequent events have been evaluated for financial reporting purposes through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.
