Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 4%. The effective tax rate differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to the pre-tax income due primarily to recording a net deferred tax liability for state taxes, primarily in New Mexico, and continuing to recognize a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal net deferred tax assets. As a result of the full-cost ceiling impairments recorded in 2020, the Company recognized a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2020. The valuation allowance will continue to be recognized until the future deferred tax benefits are more likely than not to become utilized. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 24%. The Company’s total income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rates to pre-tax income due to the impact of permanent differences between book and tax income, as well as state taxes, primarily in New Mexico.
