BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]  
Consolidation

Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates
Accounting Principles and Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to such potential matters as litigation, environmental liabilities, income taxes and the related valuation allowance, determination of proved reserves of oil and gas and asset retirement obligations. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and any marketable securities. The Company had cash deposits of $2,753,578 in excess of the FDIC’s current insured limit on interest bearing accounts of $250,000 as of March 31, 2015. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
Loss per Common Share
Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The Company’s only outstanding potentially dilutive securities are options and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, using the treasury stock method, outstanding ‘in-the-money’ options would have increased our diluted weighted average shares outstanding by 55,600 and 229,014 shares, respectively; however, due to losses during these periods, these options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
