Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values We recognize our fair value estimates using a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on reliability of inputs used to determine fair value as follows: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:
|  | June 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020

(1) Investment in listed equity securities refers to our 18.6 million NFE Shares (note 9). The fair value was calculated using the NFE closing share price as at June 30, 2021 discounted at 6.64% using an option pricing valuation model to quantify the discount for the lack of marketability during the holding period, resulting in a valuation of $658.8 million. The fair value above excludes the dividend receivable from NFE, amounting to $1.9 million. (2) The carrying amounts of our short-term debt approximate their fair values because of the near term maturity of these instruments. (3) Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts presented in the table above are gross of the deferred finance charges amounting to $26.4 million and $28.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. (3) The fair value of certain derivative instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties. (4) Derivative liabilities are captured within other current liabilities and derivative assets are generally captured within other current assets and non-current assets on the balance sheet. (5) The fair value of the oil derivative instrument was determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil prices moving above a contractual oil price floor over the term of the LTA. Significant inputs used in the valuation of the oil derivative include management’s estimate of an appropriate discount rate and the length of time to blend the long-term and short-term oil prices obtained from quoted prices in active markets. (6) The fair value of certain derivative instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties. As of June 30, 2021, we were party to the following interest rate swap transactions involving the payment of fixed rates in exchange for LIBOR as summarized below:
Instrument (in thousands of $) | Notional value | Maturity dates | Fixed interest rates
Interest rate swaps: |  |  |
Receiving floating, pay fixed | 480,000 |  | 2024 to 2029 | 1.69% - 2.37%
Some of our interest rate swaps have a credit arrangement that requires us to provide cash collateral when the market value of the instrument falls below a specified threshold. As at June 30, 2021, cash collateral amounting to $3.1 million has been provided (note 11). The credit exposure of our interest rate and equity swap agreements are represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the end of each period, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements. It is our policy to enter into master netting agreements with the counterparties to derivative financial instrument contracts, which give us the legal right to discharge all or a portion of amounts owed to the counterparty by offsetting them against amounts that the counterparty owes to us. We have elected not to offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amounts presented in our consolidated balance sheets are not able to be offset.
