Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions FASB ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures, requires that information about transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. Earthstone's majority shareholder consists of various investment funds managed by a venture capital firm who may manage other investments in entities with which the Company interacts in the normal course of business. On February 12, 2020, the Company sold certain of its interests in oil and natural gas leases and wells in an arm’s length transaction to a portfolio company of Earthstone’s majority shareholder (not under common control) for cash consideration of approximately $0.4 million. In connection with Olenik v. Lodzinski et al. (described below), Earthstone’s majority shareholder was also named in the lawsuit. The Company is currently in negotiations with its insurance carrier regarding an allocation of litigation costs above its deductible for all the parties named in the lawsuit. Once the allocation is agreed upon, cost will be assigned to each party affected. In June 2020, the Company received $0.6 million in preliminary reimbursements from its majority shareholder and $1.2 million in preliminary reimbursements from its insurance carrier. Charges associated with this legal action, offset by the aforementioned reimbursements and insurance proceeds, are included in Transaction costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any proceeds received from the Company’s insurance carrier will be recorded as a reduction of Transactions costs in the period received. See Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies.
