Income Taxes	6 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES: The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were 17.5% and 18.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of noncontrolling interest, equity compensation and state income taxes. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were (102.7)% and 23.1%, respectively. The effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a benefit from the filing of a Federal 10-year net operating loss ("NOL") carryback which resulted in the Company being able to utilize previously valued tax attributes at a tax rate differential of 14%, as well as non-controlling interest. The benefits were partially offset by increases for both state income taxes and state valuation allowances. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") which, among other things, lowered the U.S. Federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, repealed the corporate alternative minimum tax ("AMT"), and provided for a refund of previously accrued AMT credits. As of December 31, 2018, the Company reclassified $102,482 from Deferred Income Taxes to Recoverable Income Taxes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in anticipation of the AMT refund to be received in 2019. The total amount of uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $31,516. If these uncertain tax positions were recognized, approximately $31,516 would affect CNX's effective tax rate. There were no changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. CNX recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, CNX had no accrued liabilities for interest related to uncertain tax positions. CNX recognizes penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions in its income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, CNX had no accrued liabilities for tax penalties related to uncertain tax positions. CNX and its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns with the United States and tax returns within various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to United States federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2016. The Company expects the Internal Revenue Service to conclude its audit of tax years 2016 through 2017 in the third quarter of 2019.
