DEBT	6 Months Ended

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT	7. DEBT Energy One, a wholly-owned subsidiary the Company, has a credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement amounted to $6,000, which is also the maximum amount of the borrowing base. Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by Energy One’s oil and gas producing properties and substantially all of the Company’s cash and equivalents. Each borrowing under the agreement has a term of six months, but can be continued at the Company’s election through July 2017 if the Company is in compliance with the covenants under the credit agreement. The weighted average interest rate on this debt is 3.19% as of June 30, 2016. Energy One is required to comply with customary affirmative covenants and with certain negative covenants. The principal negative financial covenants do not permit (i) the interest coverage ratio (EBITDAX to interest expense) to be less than 3.0 to 1; (ii) total debt to EBITDAX to be greater than 3.5 to 1; and (iii) the current ratio to be less than 1.0 to 1.0. EBITDAX is defined in the Credit Agreement as consolidated net income, plus non-cash charges. Additionally, the credit agreement prohibits or limits Energy One’s ability to incur additional debt, pay cash dividends and other restricted payments, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and to merge or consolidate with another company. The Company is a guarantor of Energy One’s obligations under the credit agreement. On August 11, 2016, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into a fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the credit agreement. The Fourth Amendment provides for, among other things: (i) a limited waiver of the negative financial covenants as it relates to the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, (ii) implementation of a new negative covenant that prohibits the Company’s consolidated general and administrative expenses (as defined) from exceeding $3,000 for each of the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2017, (iii) deferral of the next borrowing base redetermination until December 1, 2016, and (iv) the pledge of additional collateral by U.S. Energy consisting of certain real estate assets with a net carrying value of $1,860, and its shares of Anfield Resources, Inc., which had a fair value of $1,147 as of June 30, 2016. Because the Company projects that it is unlikely that Energy One will regain compliance with the negative financial covenants for the entirety of the next 12 months, outstanding borrowings of $6,000 are presented as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In the event that Energy One is unable to obtain further waivers under the credit agreement to address the anticipated future breaches of the negative financial covenants, and other actual or potential future breaches that may occur, Wells Fargo could elect to declare some or all of the Company’s debt to be immediately due and payable and could elect to terminate its commitment and cease making further loans.
