Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 6 – Income Taxes Our U.S. operations are taxed at a statutory rate of 35%. However, we currently do not record tax benefits due to losses in the U.S. as there is no assurance that we will generate any U.S. taxable earnings, resulting in a full valuation allowance of all deferred tax assets generated. Our income tax expense relates primarily to our operations in the U.K. which are taxed at a statutory rate of 62% plus an additional Petroleum Revenue Tax on our Alba field. The current tax expense is related to Petroleum Revenue Tax on our Alba field.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
