Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | LEASES: On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-02, and all related amendments, using the transition method, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. CNX elected the transition relief package of practical expedients by applying previous accounting conclusions under ASC 840 to all leases that existed prior to the transition date. As a result, CNX did not reassess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases or 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term practical expedient for all asset classes by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less. CNX will not separate lease components from non-lease components for any asset class. Lastly, CNX adopted the easement practical expedient, which allows the Company to apply ASC 842 prospectively to land easements after the adoption date. Easements that existed or expired prior to the adoption date that were not previously assessed under ASC 840 will not be reassessed. CNX's leasing activities primarily consist of operating and finance leases for electric fracturing equipment, natural gas drilling rigs, CNX's corporate headquarters as well as field offices, a natural gas gathering pipeline and commercial vehicles. Some leases include options to renew ranging from a period of 1 to 10 years, which are not recognized as part of the lease right-of-use (ROU) assets or liabilities as they are not reasonably certain to be exercised. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of CNX's leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. The components of lease cost were as follows:
| For the Three Months Ended |  | For the Nine Months Ended
| September 30, 2019 |  | September 30, 2019
Operating Lease Cost | $ | 21,723 |  |  | $ | 53,080 |
Finance Lease Cost: |  |  |
Amortization of Right-of-Use Assets | 1,310 |  |  | 3,936 |
Interest on Lease Liabilities | 298 |  |  | 974 |
Short-term Lease Cost | 555 |  |  | 4,922 |
Variable Lease Cost* | 5,015 |  |  | 16,554 |
Total Lease Cost | $ | 28,901 |  |  | $ | 79,466 |
*Amounts recognized on the balance sheet for natural gas drilling rigs are measured using the rates that would be paid if the rigs were idle, as this represents the minimum payment that could be made under the contract. Variable lease cost represents amounts paid for natural gas drilling rigs above this minimum when the rigs are in use. Amounts recognized on the balance sheet for electric fracturing equipment are measured using minimum pumping hours under the contract; however, pumping hours may exceed the minimum and vary period to period. Any such amounts paid related to pumping hours in excess of the minimum represent variable lease cost. Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:
