Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

Note 14—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 between levels 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 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 New York Stock Exchange. 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 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):

		Millions of Dollars
		June 30, 2019									December 31, 2018
		Level 1			Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
Investment in Cenovus Energy		$	1,835		-		-		1,835		1,462		-		-		1,462
Commodity derivatives			230		106		41		377		236		181		33		450
Total assets		$	2,065		106		41		2,212		1,698		181		33		1,912

Liabilities
Commodity derivatives		$	237		111		10		358		225		145		30		400
Total liabilities		$	237		111		10		358		225		145		30		400

The following table summarizes those commodity derivative balances subject to the right of setoff as
presented on our consolidated balance sheet. 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.

	Millions of Dollars
						Amounts Subject to Right of Setoff
	Gross			Amounts Not				Gross		Net
	Amounts			Subject to		Gross		Amounts		Amounts		Cash		Net
	Recognized			Right of Setoff		Amounts		Offset		Presented		Collateral		Amounts
June 30, 2019
Assets	$	377		10		367		267		100		-		100
Liabilities		358		5		353		267		86		7		79

December 31, 2018
Assets	$	450		9		441		280		161		-		161
Liabilities		400		4		396		280		116		10		106


At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not present any amounts gross on our consolidated balance
sheet where we had the right of setoff.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy by major category and date of remeasurement for assets accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

	Millions of Dollars
				Fair Value Measurements Using
	Fair Value			Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Before-Tax Loss
Equity method investments
March 31, 2019		171		171		-		60
May 31, 2019	$	30		-		30		95

During the first quarter of 2019, the carrying values of our equity method investments in the Golden Pass LNG Terminal and Golden Pass Pipeline were written down to fair value. The fair values were determined by negotiated selling prices. For additional information, see Note 5—Assets Held for Sale and Dispositions.

During the second quarter of 2019, our equity method investment in MWCC was determined to have a fair value below its carrying value, and the impairment was considered to be other than temporary. 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 our consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value.

Accounts and notes receivable (including long-term and related parties): The carrying amount reported on our consolidated 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.

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 our consolidated 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.

The following table summarizes the net fair value of financial instruments (i.e., adjusted where the right of setoff exists for commodity derivatives):

	Millions of Dollars
	Carrying Amount					Fair Value
	June 30			December 31		June 30		December 31
	2019			2018		2019		2018
