Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of the Partnership's financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. The Partnership's financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including revenue and expense accruals, depletion and amortization, asset impairments, fair value of derivative instruments, and the probability of forecasted transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block]	Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts of the Partnership's cash equivalents approximate fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Receivables [Policy Text Block]	Receivables Accounts receivable affiliate on the balance sheets consist solely of the trade accounts receivable associated with the Partnership's operations. In evaluating the realizability of its accounts receivable, the MGP performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current creditworthiness, as determined by management's review of the credit information. The Partnership extends credit on sales on an unsecured basis to many of their customers. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership had recorded no allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on its balance sheets.
Natural gas and oil Properties [Policy Text Block]	Natural gas and oil Properties Natural gas and oil properties are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs which generally do not extend the useful life of an asset for two years or more through the replacement of critical components are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements which generally extend the useful life of an asset for two years or more through the replacement of critical components are capitalized. The Partnership follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Developments costs, whether successful or not, are capitalized. Oil and NGLs are converted to gas equivalent basis ("Mcfe") at the rate of one barrel to 6 Mcf of natural gas. The Partnership's depletion expense is determined on a field-by-field basis using the units-of-production method. Depletion rates for leasehold and related equipment costs are based on proved developed reserves associated with each field. Depletion rates are determined based on reserve quantity estimates and the capitalized costs of developed producing properties. Upon the sale or retirement of a complete field of a proved property, the cost is eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is reclassified to the Partnership's statements of operations. Upon the sale of an individual well, the Partnership credits the proceeds to accumulated depletion within its balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block]	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Partnership reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an asset's estimated future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value if such carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The review of the Partnership's oil and gas properties is done on a field-by-field basis by determining if the historical cost of proved properties less the applicable accumulated depletion and impairment is less than the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows including salvage The expected future cash flows are estimated based on the Partnership's plans to continue to produce and develop proved reserves. Expected future cash flow from the sale of the production of reserves is calculated based on estimated future prices. The Partnership estimates prices based upon current contracts in place, adjusted for basis differentials and market related information including published futures prices. The estimated future level of production is based on assumptions surrounding future prices and costs, field decline rates, market demand and supply and the economic and regulatory climates. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair market value (as determined by discounted future cash flows) and the carrying value of the assets. The determination of oil and natural gas reserve estimates is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the application of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions that are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from actual results. In addition, reserve estimates for wells with limited or no production history are less reliable than those based on actual production. Estimated reserves are often subject to future revisions, which could be substantial, based on the availability of additional information which could cause the assumptions to be modified. The Partnership cannot predict what reserve revisions may be required in future periods. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recognized $3,700,700 of asset impairments related to gas and oil properties, net of an offsetting gain in accumulated other comprehensive income of $134,200. These impairments related to the carrying amount of these gas and oil properties being in excess of the Partnership's estimate of their fair value at December 31, 2011. The estimate of the fair value of these gas and oil properties was impacted by, among other factors, the deterioration of natural gas prices at the date of measurement. The Partnership recognized no asset impairments in 2012. Derivative Instruments The MGP enters into certain financial contracts to manage the Partnership's exposure to movement in commodity prices (see Note 6). The derivative instruments recorded in the balance sheets were measured as either an asset or liability at fair value. Changes in a derivative instrument's fair value are recognized currently in the Partnership's statements of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

Asset Retirement Obligations [Policy Text Block]	Asset Retirement Obligations The Partnership recognizes an estimated liability for the plugging and abandonment of its gas and oil wells and related facilities (see Note 5). The Partnership recognizes a liability for its future asset retirement obligations in the current period if a reasonable estimate of the fair value of that liability can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes The Partnership is not treated as a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit flows through to the partners as though each partner had incurred such item directly. As a result, each partner must take into account their pro rata share of all items of partnership income and deductions in computing their federal income tax liability. The Partnership evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership's tax returns and disallows the recognition of tax positions not deemed to meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Partnership's management does not believe it has any tax positions taken within its financial statements that would not meet this threshold. The Partnership's policy is to reflect interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, when and if they become applicable. However, the Partnership has not recognized any potential interest or penalties in its financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Environmental Matters [Policy Text Block]	Environmental Matters The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Management has established procedures for the ongoing evaluation of the Partnership's operations, to identify potential environmental exposures and to comply with regulatory policies and procedures. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The Partnership maintains insurance which may cover in whole or in part certain environmental expenditures. The Partnership had no environmental matters requiring specific disclosure or requiring the recognition of a liability for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Concentration of Credit Risk [Policy Text Block]	Concentration of Credit Risk The Partnership sells natural gas, crude oil and NGLs under contracts to various purchasers in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership had one customer that individually accounted for approximately 70% of the Partnership's natural gas, oil, and NGL combined revenues, excluding the impact of all financial derivative activity. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership had three customers that individually accounted for approximately 35%, 18% and 12% of the Partnership natural gas and oil combined revenues, excluding the impact of all financial derivative activity
Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally sells natural gas, crude oil and NGLs at prevailing market prices. Generally, the Partnership's sales contracts are based on pricing provisions that are tied to a market index, with certain fixed adjustments based on proximity to gathering and transmission lines and the quality of its natural gas. Generally, the market index is fixed 2 business days prior to the commencement of the production month. Revenue and the related accounts receivable are recognized when produced quantities are delivered to a custody transfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights and responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Revenues from the production of natural gas, crude oil and NGLs, in which the Partnership has an interest with other producers, are recognized on the basis of its percentage ownership of the working interest and/or overriding royalty. The Partnership accrues unbilled revenue due to timing differences between the delivery of natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil and the receipt of a delivery statement. These revenues are recorded based upon volumetric data from the Partnership's records and management estimates of the related commodity sales and transportation and compression fees which are, in turn, based upon applicable product prices (see "Use of Estimates" accounting policy for further description). The Partnership had unbilled revenues at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $218,100 and $210,200, respectively, which were included in accounts receivable within the Partnership's balance sheets.
