Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation: Victory is the managing partner of Aurora, and holds a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora, a subsidiary of the Company, is consolidated with Victory for financial statement reporting purposes, as the terms of the partnership agreement that governs the operations of Aurora give Victory effective control of the partnership. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Victory and the accounts of Aurora. The Company’s management, in considering accounting policies pertaining to consolidation, has reviewed the relevant accounting literature. The Company follows that literature, in assessing whether the rights of the non-controlling interests should overcome the presumption of consolidation when a majority voting or controlling interest in its investee “is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances.” In applying the circumstances and contractual provisions of the partnership agreement, management determined that the non-controlling rights do not, individually or in the aggregate, provide for the non-controlling interest to “effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.” The rights of the non-controlling interest are protective in nature. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015, for three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission "SEC" for interim financial reporting. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Victory and Aurora as of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America “U.S. GAAP”, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period during such year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015.
Non-controlling Interests	Non-controlling Interests: The Navitus Energy Group, a Texas general partnership (“Navitus”) is a partner with Victory in Aurora. Victory and Navitus each own a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Victory is the Managing Partner and has contractual authority to manage the business affairs of Aurora. The non-controlling interest in Aurora is held by Navitus. As of March 31, 2015, $5,452,531 was recorded as the equity of the non-controlling interest in our consolidated balance sheet representing the third-party investment in Aurora, with losses attributable to non-controlling interests of $111,828 and $10,845 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, $3,639,359 was recorded as the equity of the non-controlling interest in our consolidated balance sheet representing the third-party investment in Aurora.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates: The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used primarily when accounting for depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) expense, property costs, estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, cost to abandon oil and natural gas properties, taxes, accruals of capitalized costs, operating costs and production revenue, general and administrative costs and interest, exploration expense, the purchase price allocation on properties acquired, various common stock, warrants and option transactions, and contingencies.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties	Oil and Natural Gas Properties: We account for investments in oil and natural gas properties using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, only successful exploration drilling costs that directly result in the discovery of proved reserves are capitalized. Unsuccessful exploration drilling costs that do not result in an asset with future economic benefit are expensed. All development costs are capitalized because the purpose of development activities is considered to be building a producing system of wells, and related equipment facilities, rather than searching for oil and natural gas. Items charged to expense generally include geological and geophysical costs. Capitalized costs for producing wells and associated land and other assets are depleted using a Units of Production methodology based on the proved, developed reserves and calculated on a by well basis, based upon reserve reports prepared by an independent petroleum engineer in accordance with SEC rules. Under the successful efforts method of accounting, the depletion rate is the current period production as a percentage of the total proved producing reserves. The depletion rate is applied to the net book value of property costs to calculate the depletion expense. Proved reserves materially impact depletion expense. If the proved reserves decline, then the depletion rate (the rate at which we record depletion expense) increases, reducing net income. The net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties are subject to an impairment test which compares the net book value of assets, based on historical cost, to the undiscounted future cash flow of remaining oil and natural gas reserves based on current economic and operating conditions. Impairment of an individual producing oil and natural gas field is first determined by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows associated with the proved property to the carrying value of the underlying property. If the cost of the underlying property is in excess of the undiscounted future net cash flows the carrying cost of the impaired property is compared to the estimated fair value and the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. Management’s estimate of fair value takes into account many factors such as the present value discount rate, pricing, and when appropriate, possible and probable reserves when activities justified by economic conditions and actual or planned drilling or other development. We depreciate other property and equipment using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from five to 10 years.
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations: The Company records the estimate of the fair value of liabilities related to future asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in the period the obligation is incurred. Asset retirement obligations relate to the removal of facilities and tangible equipment at the end of an oil and natural gas property’s useful life. The application of this rule requires the use of management’s estimates with respect to future abandonment costs, inflation, market risk premiums, useful life and cost of capital and required government regulations. U.S. GAAP requires that our estimate of our asset retirement obligations does not give consideration to the value the related assets could have to other parties.
Earnings (Losses) per Share	Earnings (Losses) per Share: Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the dilutive effect of potential common stock that could be issued by the Company in conjunction with stock awards that have been granted to directors and employees. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, awards of nonvested shares shall be considered outstanding as of the respective grant dates for purposes of computing diluted EPS even though their exercise is contingent upon vesting. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of future tax benefits is dependent on our ability to generate taxable income within the carry forward period. Given the Company’s history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is likely that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carry forwards. ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax benefit associated with the use of the net operating loss carry forwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation and Expense: The Company applies ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” to account for the issuance of options and warrants to employees, directors, officers and Navitus investors. The standard requires all share-based payments, including employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock, be measured at the fair value of the award and expensed over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The fair value of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and officers is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model by using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the common stock option or warrant, the dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to acquire goods or services from third parties. Restricted stock, options or warrants issued to third parties are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the date issued. The options or warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying equity instrument on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. The Company recognized stock-based directors compensation expense from stock awards granted to directors for services of $27,090 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based incentive compensation expense from stock options granted to officers and employees of the company of $10,937 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also recognized stock-based general and administrative expense of $58,900 and $0 from restricted stock and stock options issued to consultants for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Going Concern	Going Concern: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not contain adjustments, including adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities, which might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. As presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is reporting a net loss, attributable to Victory Energy Corporation, of $1,546,573 and $435,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Proceeds from debt and Navitus contributions to Aurora have allowed the Company to continue operations and invest in oil and natural gas properties. Management anticipates that operating losses will continue until new wells are drilled and or acquisitions are successfully completed and incremental production increases operating profit. The Company has invested 147,562 and $461,970, respectively, in leases, drilling and completion costs, and property acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company remains in active discussions with Navitus and with third parties relating to the capital infusion and longer term financing required to cover our expected deficit in cash flow from operating activities, reduce or pay our borrowing base deficiency (as defined below) and to fund our capital expenditures planned for 2015. Without additional outside investment from the sale of equity securities and/or debt financing, our capital expenditures and overhead expenses must be reduced to a level commensurate with available cash flows. The Company, through Aurora as borrower, entered a $25 million credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, National Association on February 20, 2014. See Note 6 “Revolving Credit Agreement”. As of March 31, 2015 the Company has $800,000 in principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not contain adjustments, including adjustments to recorded assets and liabilities, which might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. On April 13, 2015 (the “Redetermination Date”), the Lender notified Aurora that the Lender had completed its redetermination of Aurora’s borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base Redetermination”), lowering the borrowing base, effective as of the Redetermination Date, from $800,000 to $500,000. 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 1, 2015 until the Lender’s next periodic borrowing base redetermination. After giving effect to the Borrowing Base Redetermination, the outstanding amount of loans to Aurora under the Credit Agreement exceeds the borrowing base by $300,000 (the “Borrowing Base Deficiency”). While the Deficiency exists, the interest rate paid by Aurora under the Credit Agreement will be automatically increased by 200 basis points. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Aurora is required to take one of the following actions to timely eliminate the Deficiency: (a) prepay the Deficiency in full within 30 days of the Redetermination Date, (b) execute mortgages covering additional oil and gas properties not evaluated in the most recent reserve report having present values which, in the opinion of the Lender, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the borrowing base to an amount at least equal to the total amount of loans outstanding to Aurora under the Credit Agreement, or (c) a combination of items (a) and (b) above, as is acceptable to the Lender. Aurora must provide written notice to the Lender within ten days of the Redetermination Date as to how Aurora intends to timely eliminate the Deficiency. If Aurora fails to provide such written notice to the Lender within ten days, it will be determined to have elected the Deficiency prepayment option. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Aurora had 30 days from the Redetermination Date to cure the Deficiency in the manner it elects. On April 13, 2015, the Company received the annual Borrowing Base Adjustment called for under the terms of the Revolving 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 in June 2015. On May 13, 2015, Aurora informed the Lender it would not make the required $300,000 payment but was submitting the newly acquired five Eagle Ford wells as additional collateral to be considered and its willingness to execute mortgages regarding the properties to meet the Deficiency. The Lender has received the additional reserve and related assignment information, and is currently evaluating the effect on the previously calculated Borrowing Base Deficiency. The Company and the Lender are working on a related forbearance agreement addressing the events of default. As of June 3, 2015, the Company paid the aforementioned June monthly principle reduction of $10,000.
