Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
RISK MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES | RISK-MANAGEMENT AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES USING DERIVATIVES Risk-management Activities - We are sensitive to changes in natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices, principally as a result of contractual terms under which these commodities are processed, purchased and sold. We are also subject to the risk of interest-rate fluctuation in the normal course of business. We use physical-forward purchases and sales and financial derivatives to secure a certain price for a portion of our natural gas, condensate and purity NGLs; to reduce our exposure to commodity price and interest-rate fluctuations; and to achieve more predictable cash flows. We follow established policies and procedures to assess risk and approve, monitor and report our risk-management activities. We have not used these instruments for trading purposes. Commodity price risk - Commodity price risk refers to the risk of loss in cash flows and future earnings arising from adverse changes in the price of natural gas, NGLs and condensate. We may use commodity derivative instruments to reduce the near-term commodity price risk associated with a portion of our forecasted purchases and sales of commodities. Our exposure to commodity price risk is consistent with that discussed in our Annual Report. Interest-rate risk - We may manage interest-rate risk through the use of fixed-rate debt, floating-rate debt and interest-rate swaps. Interest-rate swaps are agreements to exchange interest payments at some future point based on specified notional amounts. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $375 million to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances. All of our interest-rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Fair Values of Derivative Instruments - The following table sets forth the fair values of our derivative instruments presented on a gross basis as of the dates indicated:
