Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]  
Schedule of Hierarchy Levels that may be Used to Measure Fair Value The fair value standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value.
LevelDescriptionFinancial Instrument (Assets / Liabilities)
Level 1Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts.

Marketable securities in active markets.
Level 2Observable inputs, including adjusted Level 1 quotes, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts (less liquid markets).

Readily marketable inventories.

Over-the-counter ("OTC") commodity purchase and sales contracts.

OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Marketable securities in less active markets.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

Assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
Schedule of Assets and Liabilities Accounted for at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table sets forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

Schedule of Reconciliation of Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022. These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.
