Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT	6. DEBT Energy One, a wholly-owned subsidiary the Company, has a credit facility with APEG Energy II, L.P. (“APEG”). As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, outstanding borrowings under the credit facility amounted to $6.0 million. U.S. Energy Corp., Energy One and APEG entered into a Limited Forbearance Agreement dated May 2, 2017. On June 28, 2017, U.S. Energy Corp., Energy One and APEG entered into a Fifth Amendment to the credit facility providing for, among other things, an extension of the maturity date to July 19, 2019, new financial coverage ratio covenants and a waiver with respect to any historical Company non-compliance with any and all financial covenants. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the borrowing base was $6.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured 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 2019 if the Company remains in compliance with the covenants under the credit facility. The interest rate on the credit facility is currently fixed at 8.75%. Please refer to Note 13 entitled “Subsequent Events” for further information. Energy One is required to comply with customary affirmative covenants and with certain negative covenants. The principal negative financial covenants do not permit (as the following terms are defined in the Fifth Amendment) (i) PDP Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.2 to 1; and (ii) the current ratio to be less than 1.0 to 1.0. Please note that the liabilities carried on the Company’s balance sheet under “Payable to major operator” and “Contingent ownership interests” are excluded from any covenant calculations. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is in compliance with all credit facility covenants. 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.
