Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquisition AcquisitionIn May 2020, we acquired approximately 740 net acres in the North Midway Sunset Field for approximately $5 million. We paid $2 million at closing and the remaining $3 million was paid following our first production from this property, in the fourth quarter 2020. This property is adjacent to, and extends, our existing producing area and we have identified numerous future drilling locations. We believe additional opportunities exist in other productive reservoirs of this property. We also acquired all existing idle wells on this property, some of which we plan to return to production in the near future as price and strategy dictate. We will plug and abandon the remaining idle wells pursuant to the California Idle Well Management Program. We recorded a $6 million liability for asset retirement obligations of the existing wells on this property.
