Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements | Note 14. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices. In order to manage risks associated with assets, liabilities and certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments such as futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics. Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities. Interest Rate Hedging Activities We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward-starting swaps, options to enter into forward-starting swaps (“swaptions”), treasury locks and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements. This strategy may be used in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings. Treasury Locks A treasury lock is an agreement that fixes the price (or yield) of a specified U.S. treasury security for an established period of time. We use treasury lock agreements to hedge our exposure to interest rate changes and to reduce the volatility of financing costs on an expected future debt issuance. Each of our treasury lock transactions was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments associated with an anticipated debt issuance. During the first quarter of 2025, we entered into two treasury lock transactions to fix the seven-year treasury rate at a weighted-average rate of approximately 4.04% on an aggregate notional amount of $500 million. As cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of these treasury locks was $2 million. In April 2025, we entered into two additional treasury lock transactions to fix the seven-year treasury rate at a weighted-average rate of approximately 3.87% on an aggregate notional amount of $250 million. Each of our outstanding treasury locks is expected to settle in May 2025. Upon settlement, the gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the future underlying debt issuance. Commodity Hedging Activities The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, petrochemicals and refined products, and power are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps and basis swaps. At March 31, 2025, our predominant commodity hedging strategies consisted of (i) hedging anticipated future purchases and sales of commodity products associated with transportation, storage and blending activities, (ii) hedging natural gas processing margins, (iii) hedging the fair value of commodity products held in inventory and (iv) hedging anticipated future purchases of power for certain operations in Southeast Texas.
• | The objective of our anticipated future commodity purchases and sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of certain transportation, storage, blending and operational activities by locking in purchase and sale prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.
• | The objective of our natural gas processing hedging program is to hedge an amount of earnings associated with these activities. We achieve this objective by executing fixed-price sales for a portion of our expected equity production using derivative instruments and related contracts. For certain natural gas processing contracts, the hedging of expected equity NGL production also involves the purchase of natural gas for plant thermal reduction, which is hedged using derivative instruments and related contracts.
• | The objective of our inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of commodity products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.
• | The objective of our commercial energy hedging program is to hedge anticipated future purchases of power for certain operations in Southeast Texas by locking in purchase prices through the use of derivative instruments and related contracts.

Derivative assets and liabilities recorded on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented on a gross-basis and determined at the individual transaction level. The tabular presentation above provides a means for comparing the gross amount of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding associated accounts payable and receivable, to the net amount that would likely be receivable or payable under a default scenario based on the existence of rights of offset in the respective derivative agreements. Any cash collateral paid or received is reflected in these tables, but only to the extent that it represents variation margins. Any amounts associated with derivative prepayments or initial margins that are not influenced by the derivative asset or liability amounts or those that are determined solely on their volumetric notional amounts are excluded from these tables. The following tables present the effect of our derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated:

The gain (loss) corresponding to the hedge ineffectiveness on the fair value hedges was negligible for all periods presented. The remaining gain (loss) for each period presented is primarily attributable to prompt-to-forward month price differentials that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The following tables present the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations and Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Comprehensive Income for the periods indicated:
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships |  | Change in Value Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on Derivative |

Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $6 million of gains attributable to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings as a decrease in interest expense. Likewise, we expect to reclassify $107 million of net gains attributable to commodity derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings, with $94 million as an increase in revenue and $13 million as a decrease in operating costs and expenses. The following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations for the periods indicated:
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments | Location |  | Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative |
|  |  | For the Three Months Ended March 31, |

Commodity derivatives | Operating costs and expenses |  |  | (2 | ) |  |  | (1 | )
Total |  |  | $ | (23 | ) |  | $ | 12 |
The $23 million net loss recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (as noted in the preceding table) from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consists of $15 million of net realized gains and $38 million of net unrealized mark-to-market losses attributable to commodity derivatives. Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth, by level within the Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the dates indicated. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value. Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment. The values for commodity derivatives are presented before and after the application of CME Rule 814, which deems that financial instruments cleared by the CME are settled daily in connection with variation margin payments. As a result of this exchange rule, CME-related derivatives are considered to have no fair value at the balance sheet date for financial reporting purposes; however, the derivatives remain outstanding and subject to future commodity price fluctuations until they are settled in accordance with their contractual terms. Derivative transactions cleared on exchanges other than the CME (e.g., the Intercontinental Exchange or ICE) continue to be reported on a gross basis.

In the aggregate, the fair value of our commodity hedging portfolios at March 31, 2025 was a net derivative asset of $65 million prior to the impact of CME Rule 814. Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at March 31, 2025 using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are not material to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Other Fair Value Information The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable, commercial paper notes and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was $28.1 billion and $28.9 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $30.5 billion and $31.6 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These values are primarily based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2) and our credit standing. Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt. The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based. We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.
