Recurring Fair Value Measurements - The following tables set forth our recurring fair value measurements as of the dates indicated:

(a) - Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheet on a net basis. We net derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master-netting arrangement exists between the counterparty to a derivative contract and us. At December 31, 2023, we posted no cash and held cash of $41 million with various counterparties, which offsets our derivative net asset position under master netting arrangements as shown in the table above.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our Level 3 fair value measurements for the periods indicated:

Derivative Assets (Liabilities)	2023		2022
	(Millions of dollars)
Net liabilities at beginning of period	$	—	$	(114)

Transfers out of Level 3 derivatives	—		(49)
New Level 3 derivatives included in other comprehensive income (b)	—		56
Unrealized change included in other comprehensive income (b)	—		7
Net liabilities at end of period	$	—	$	—

(a) - Included in commodity sales revenues/cost of sales and fuel in our Consolidated Statements of Income.

(b) - Included in change in fair value of derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we transferred out of Level 3 commodity derivatives associated with certain locations for NGL swaps, principally due to improved transparency of market prices as a result of the volume and frequency of transactions in these markets. We consider the valuation of these commodity derivatives, which are transacted through a clearing broker and valued with an unadjusted published price from an exchange, as a Level 2 valuation.

Other Financial Instruments - The approximate fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings is equal to book value due to the short-term nature of these items. Our cash and cash equivalents are composed of bank and money market accounts and are classified as Level 1. Our short-term borrowings are classified as Level 2 since the estimated fair value of the short-term borrowings can be determined using information available in the commercial paper market. We have investments associated with our supplemental executive retirement plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plan that are carried at fair value and primarily are composed of mutual funds, municipal bonds and other fixed income securities classified as Level 1 and Level 2.

The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $21.4 billion and $12.7 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The book value of our consolidated long-term debt, including current maturities, was $21.7 billion and $13.6 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The estimated fair value of the aggregate senior notes outstanding was determined using quoted market prices for similar issues with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our consolidated long-term debt is classified as Level 2.
