Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General Commitments Subject to certain conditions, investor partners may present their interests for purchase by the MGP. The purchase price is calculated by the MGP in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement. The MGP is not obligated to purchase more than 5% of the total outstanding units in any calendar year. In the event that the MGP is unable to obtain the necessary funds, it may suspend its purchase obligation. Beginning one year after each of the Partnership’s wells has been placed into production, the MGP, as Operator, may retain $200 per month per well to cover estimated future plugging and abandonment costs. As of September 30, 2017, the Operator has withheld $293,300 of net production revenue for future plugging and abandonment costs. Environmental risk is inherent to oil and natural gas operations, and we and our affiliates may be, at times, subject to potential environmental remediation liability. We manage this environmental risk through appropriate environmental policies and practices to minimize any impact our operations may have on the environment. To the extent that we are unable to recover payment for environmental liabilities from insurance or other potentially responsible parties, we will be responsible for payment of liabilities arising from environmental incidents associated with the operating activities of our oil and natural gas operations. Legal Proceedings The Partnership and affiliates of the MGP and their subsidiaries are party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The MGP believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s or the MGP’s financial condition or results of operations.
