Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurement
Note 15—Fair Value Measurement
 
We carry a portion of our assets and liabilities at fair value that are measured at a reporting
 
date using an exit
price (i.e., the price that would be received to sell
 
an asset or paid to transfer a liability) and disclosed
according to the quality of valuation inputs under
 
the following hierarchy:
 
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active
 
market for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that
 
are directly or indirectly observable.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant
 
to the fair value of assets or liabilities.
 
The classification of an asset or liability
 
is based on the lowest level of input significant
 
to its fair value.
 
Those
that are initially classified as Level 3 are subsequently
 
reported as Level 2 when the fair value derived
 
from
unobservable inputs is inconsequential to the overall
 
fair value, or if corroborated market data becomes
available.
 
Assets and liabilities initially reported as Level
 
2 are subsequently reported as Level 3 if
corroborated market data is no longer available.
 
Transfers occur at the end of the reporting period.
 
There were
no material transfers in or out of Level 1 during
 
2019 or 2018.
Recurring Fair Value Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities reported at fair
 
value on a recurring basis primarily include
 
our investment in
Cenovus Energy shares,
 
our investments
 
in debt securities classified as available for sale,
 
and commodity
derivatives.
 
 
 
Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities primarily
 
represent exchange-traded futures and options that are
valued using unadjusted prices available from the
 
underlying exchange.
 
Level 1 also includes our
investment in common shares of Cenovus Energy, which is valued using quotes for shares
 
on the NYSE,
and our investments in U.S. government obligations
 
classified as available for sale debt securities,
 
which
are valued using exchange prices.
 
 
Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities primarily
 
represent OTC swaps, options and forward purchase
 
and
sale contracts that are valued using adjusted exchange
 
prices, prices provided by brokers or pricing
 
service
companies that are all corroborated by market
 
data.
 
Level 2 also includes our investments
 
in debt
securities classified as available for sale including
 
investments in corporate bonds, commercial
 
paper, and
asset-backed securities that are valued using
 
pricing provided by brokers or pricing service
 
companies that
are corroborated with market data.
 
 
Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consist
 
of OTC swaps, options and forward purchase and
 
sale
contracts where a significant portion of fair
 
value is calculated from underlying market
 
data that is not
readily available.
 
The derived value uses industry standard
 
methodologies that may consider the historical
relationships among various commodities, modeled
 
market prices, time value, volatility factors
 
and other
relevant economic measures.
 
The use of these inputs results in management’s best estimate of fair
 
value.
 
Level 3 activity was not material for all periods
 
presented.
The following table summarizes the fair value
 
hierarchy for gross financial assets and
 
liabilities (i.e.,
unadjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity
 
derivatives accounted for at fair value on a recurring
basis):

The following table summarizes those commodity

We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for
multiple derivative instruments executed with the same
 
counterparty in our financial statements
 
when a legal
right of setoff exists.

Net PP&E (held for sale)
Net PP&E held for sale was written down to fair
 
value, less costs to sell.
 
The fair value of each asset was
 
determined by its negotiated selling price (Level
 
1) or information gathered during marketing
 
efforts (Level 3).
 
For additional information see Note 5—Asset
 
Acquisitions and Dispositions.
 
 
Equity Method Investments
During 2019, certain equity method investments
 
were determined to have fair values below their
 
carrying
amounts, and the impairments were considered to
 
be other than temporary under the guidance of
 
FASB ASC
Topic 323.
 
During 2019, investments using Level 1 inputs
 
were written down to fair value, less costs to
 
sell,
determined by negotiated selling prices.
 
For additional information, see Note 5—Asset
 
Acquisitions and
Dispositions.
 
During 2019, an investment using Level 2 inputs
 
was determined to have a fair value below its
carrying value, and was written down to fair value.
 
For additional information, see Note 3—Variable Interest
Entities.
Reported Fair Values of Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial
 
instruments:
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments:
 
The carrying amount reported on the balance
sheet approximates fair value.
 
For those investments classified as available
 
for sale debt securities,
the carrying amount reported on the balance sheet
 
is fair value.
 
Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term
 
and related parties): The carrying amount
reported on the balance sheet approximates fair
 
value.
 
The valuation technique and methods used to
estimate the fair value of the current portion
 
of fixed-rate related party loans is consistent
 
with Loans
and advances—related parties.
 
Investment in Cenovus Energy shares: See Note 7—Investment
 
in Cenovus Energy for a discussion of
the carrying value and fair value of our investment
 
in Cenovus Energy shares.
 
 
Investments in debt securities classified as available
 
for sale: The fair value of investments in debt
securities categorized as Level 1 in the fair
 
value hierarchy is measured using exchange
 
prices.
 
The
fair value of investments in debt securities
 
categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy is
measured using pricing provided by brokers or
 
pricing service companies that are corroborated
 
with
market data.
 
See Note 14—Derivatives and Financial Instruments,
 
for additional information.
 
 
Loans and advances—related parties: The carrying
 
amount of floating-rate loans approximates
 
fair
value.
 
The fair value of fixed-rate loan activity is
 
measured using market observable data and is
categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
See Note 6—Investments, Loans and Long-Term
Receivables, for additional information.
 
Accounts payable (including related parties)
 
and floating-rate debt: The carrying amount of accounts
payable and floating-rate debt reported on the balance
 
sheet approximates fair value.
 
 
Fixed-rate debt: The estimated fair value of fixed-rate
 
debt is measured using prices available
 
from a
pricing service that is corroborated by market
 
data; therefore, these liabilities are categorized
 
as Level
2 in the fair value hierarchy.

value of financial instruments (i.e., adjusted

setoff exists for commodity derivatives):
