Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Revolving Credit Agreement	Revolving Credit Agreement On February 20, 2014, Aurora, as borrower, entered a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank (“the Lender”). Guarantors on the Credit Agreement are Victory and Navitus, the two partners of Aurora. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to extend credit to Aurora in the form of (a) one or more revolving credit loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) and (b) the issuance of standby letters of credit, of up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time not to exceed the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the borrowing base in effect from time to time (the “Commitment”). The initial borrowing base on February 20, 2014 was set at $1,450,000. The borrowing base is determined by the Lender, in its sole discretion, based on customary lending practices, review of the oil and natural gas properties included in the borrowing base, financial review of Aurora, the Company and Navitus and such other factors as may be deemed relevant by the Lender. The borrowing base is re-determined (i) on or about June 30 of each year based on the previous December 31 reserve report prepared by an independent reserve engineer, and (ii) on or about August 31 of each year based on the previous June 30 reserve report prepared by Aurora’s internal reserve engineers or an independent reserve engineer and certified by an officer of Aurora. The Credit Agreement will mature on February 20, 2017. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at rates equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or received by the Lender in accordance with applicable Texas law and (ii) the interest rate per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Lender as the prime rate in effect at its principal office plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is, (i) with respect to Loans, one percent (1.00%) per annum, (ii) with respect to letter of credit fees, two percent (2.00%) per annum and (iii) with respect to commitment fees, one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum. Loans made under the Credit Agreement are secured by (i) a first priority lien in the oil and gas properties of Aurora, the Company and Navitus, and (ii) a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Aurora and its subsidiaries, if any, as well as in 100% of the partnership interests in Aurora held by the Company and Navitus. Loans made under the Credit Agreement to Aurora are fully guaranteed by the Company and Navitus. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. These covenants, among other things, limit additional indebtedness, additional liens and transactions with affiliates. Among the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement are financial covenants that Aurora will maintain a minimum EBITDAX to Cash Interest Ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum Current Ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Current Ratio is defined under the covenants to include, as a current asset, the revolving credit availability. At December 31, 2014, Aurora's Current Ratio was 0.10 to 1 and it was therefore not in compliance with the aforementioned Current Ratio covenant requiring a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1 to 1. Aurora notified the Lender that it is out compliance with the Current Ratio covenant and the Lender instructed the Company to fully explain its plans to come back into compliance with the Current Ratio covenant in the March 31,2015 Compliance Certificate which is made upon filing of the Company’s March 31, 2015 SEC Form 10-Q. As a result, as of December 31, 2014, the $800,000 outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement was classified as a current liability in accordance with GAAP, the Company remained out of compliance with the current ratio covenant noted previously and has notified the Lender of such. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with the Current Ratio, but out of compliance with the EBITDAX to Cash Interest Ratio due to its reduced revenue streams from price and production declines and general and administrative expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 2015. On April 13, 2015, the Company received the annual Borrowing Base Adjustment called for under the terms of the Credit Agreement, which called for a decrease in the borrowing base of $300,000 payable by May 13, 2015, and an increase in the monthly reduction amount to $10,000 commencing as of June 1, 2015. Additionally, the Lender notified Aurora that, based on the Lender’s redetermination of Aurora’s borrowing base, the monthly reduction amount under the Credit Agreement will be increased, commencing on June 1, 2015, from $0 to $10,000. Pursuant to this increase in the monthly reduction amount, Aurora’s borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $10,000 on the first day of each calendar month beginning on June 2015 until the Lender’s next periodic borrowing base redetermination. Amortization of debt financing costs and interest expense on this debt for the three months ending March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $18,706 and $8,785, respectively. Note Payable Pursuant to the afore mentioned merger termination, the Company has recorded a Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000 payable to Louise H. Rogers, Lucas’ senior lender in conjunction with the Pre Merger Collaboration Agreement, which accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum. On May 11, 2015, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) terminated its previously disclosed non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Lucas Energy, Inc. (“Lucas”), pursuant to its terms, which permitted either the Company or Lucas to terminate the LOI by written notification to the other party. The Promissory Note is due and payable prior to August 15, 2015 in accordance with the Pre Merger Collaboration Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Promissory Note, Louise H. Rogers had released the Well Rights from its security interest in order to accommodate the transactions contemplated by the Collaboration Agreement and Loan Agreement as of February 27, 2015. The Company and Lucas are currently negotiating a mutual settlement. On May 15, 2015, the Company filed a form 8-K which included the related press release of the same day announcing the above noted merger termination. In connection to this note $250,000 has been charged to general and administrative expense as a cost of the terminated merger transaction.
