Equity [Abstract]  
Stock Repurchase STOCK REPURCHASE:
As of December 31, 2020, CNX's Board of Directors had approved $750,000 in stock repurchases since the October 30, 2017 inception of the current stock repurchase program. On January 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the aggregate amount of the current stock repurchase program plan, to $900,000. This increases the amount available under the current stock repurchase program to $245,000, not subject to an expiration date. The repurchases may be affected from time-to-time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated stock repurchases, block trades, derivative contracts or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18. The timing of any repurchases will be based on a number of factors, including available liquidity, the Company's stock price, the Company's financial outlook, and alternative investment options. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Board may modify, suspend, or discontinue its authorization of the program at any time. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the size of the stock repurchase program based on CNX's free cash flow position, leverage ratio, and capital plans.
