Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

At March 31, 2018, CNX has provided the following financial guarantees, unconditional purchase obligations and letters of credit to certain third parties as described by major category in the following table. These amounts represent the maximum potential of total future payments that the Company could be required to make under these instruments. These amounts have not been reduced for potential recoveries under recourse or collateralization provisions. Generally, recoveries under reclamation bonds would be limited to the extent of the work performed at the time of the default. No amounts related to these unconditional purchase obligations and letters of credit are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements. CNX management believes that these commitments will expire without being funded, and therefore will not have a material adverse effect on financial condition.
