Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | (16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation We are the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these actions, proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations. We estimate and provide for potential losses that may arise out of litigation and regulatory proceedings to the extent that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We will continue to evaluate our litigation and regulatory proceedings quarterly and will establish and adjust any estimated liability as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of litigation and regulatory proceedings. Significant judgment is required in making these estimates and our final liabilities may ultimately be materially different. Transportation and Gathering Contracts In first nine months 2018, our transportation and gathering commitments increased by approximately $2.4 billion over the next twenty years (through 2038) primarily due to a new pipeline brought into service in Pennsylvania and pricing changes for current contracts.
