Valuation Techniques. Our derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs, such as forward, interest, contract and discount rates.

Valuation Techniques. Based on the information available as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of the term loan credit facility was estimated on the basis of the present value of the expected future cash flows contractually due in accordance with the terms of the term loan credit agreement, a Level 3 measurement. The cash flows were discounted using the LIBOR rate at the valuation date based on the terms of the term loan credit agreement, adjusted for any change in credit risk premium. At March 31, 2020, the project financing obligations included in Long-term debt approximate their fair value. During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no significant transfers in or out of levels 1, 2, or 3.

The following tables present changes during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 in Level 3 liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
