Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION: CNX consists of two principal business divisions: Exploration and Production (E&P) and Midstream. The principal activity of the E&P division, which includes four reportable segments, is to produce pipeline quality natural gas for sale primarily to gas wholesalers. The E&P Division's reportable segments are Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Coalbed Methane, and Other Gas. The Other Gas segment is primarily related to shallow oil and gas production which is not significant to the Company. It also includes the Company's purchased gas activities, unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivative instruments, exploration and production related other costs, impairment of exploration and production properties, as well as various other operating activities assigned to the E&P Division but not allocated to each individual segment. CNX's Midstream division is the result of CNX's acquisition of NBL Midstream, LLC's interest in CNX Gathering LLC (See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions). As part of the acquisition, CNX now has a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of CNXM, of which the company owns approximately 34% of, which is a publicly traded master limited partnership (See Note 15 - Variable Interest Entity for more information). The principal activity of the Midstream division is the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of natural gas gathering and other midstream energy assets in order to provide natural gas gathering services for the Company's produced gas, as well as for other independent third parties in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Prior to the acquisition, the Company accounted for its 50% interest in CNX Gathering LLC as an equity method investment. The Company's unallocated expenses include other expense, gain on asset sales related to non-core assets, gain on previously held equity interest, loss on debt extinguishment and income taxes. Prior to the spin-off of the coal company in November 2017 (See Note 5 - Discontinued Operations), CNX had a Coal division. The Coal division had three reportable segments; PA Operations, Virginia (VA) Operations and Other Coal. The VA Operations segment included the Buchanan Mine and the Other Coal segment was primarily comprised of the assets and operations of the Miller Creek and Fola Complexes, as well as coal terminal operations, closed and idle mine activities, selling, general and administrative activities and various other non-operated activities. In the preparation of the following information, intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market. Operating profit for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating and non-operating expenses. Assets are reflected at the division level for E&P and are not allocated between each individual E&P segment. These assets are not allocated to each individual segment due to the diverse asset base controlled by CNX, whereby each individual asset may service more than one segment within the division. An allocation of such asset base would not be meaningful or representative on a segment by segment basis.
