Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on total revenue and other operating income, and operating expenses directly attributable to that segment. Certain expenses are managed outside the reportable segments and therefore are not allocated. These expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, impairment of exploration and production properties, impairment of goodwill and other corporate expenses such as selling, general and administrative costs.
CNX's principal activity is to produce pipeline quality natural gas for sale primarily to gas wholesalers and the Company has two reportable segments that conducts those operations: Shale and Coalbed Methane. The Other Segment includes nominal 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, realized gain on commodity derivative instruments that were monetized prior to their settlement dates, exploration and production related other costs, impairments of exploration and production properties, as well as various other expenses that are managed outside the reportable segments as discussed above. Operating profit for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating and non-operating expenses.
Prior to the Merger of CNXM that occurred in September 2020 (See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions), CNX consisted of two principal business divisions: Exploration and Production (E&P) and Midstream. The E&P Division included four reportable segments, Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Coalbed Methane and Other Gas. Certain reclassifications of 2019 and 2018 segment information have been made to conform to the 2020 presentation.
