Equity [Abstract]  
Stock Repurchase STOCK REPURCHASE:
On January 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the aggregate amount of the previous $750,000 stock repurchase program plan to $900,000, and on October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an additional increase in the aggregate amount of the stock repurchase program plan to $1,900,000. As of June 30, 2023 the amount available under the stock repurchase program is $291,002, and is not subject to an expiration date. The repurchases may be effected 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, 9,747,408 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $15.98 per share for a total cost of $157,302, which includes the one-percent excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 12,912,070 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $17.09 per share for a total cost of $220,968.
On July 25, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $1,000,000 increase to its existing stock repurchase program. As of July 25, 2023, this approval increased the dollar amount of common stock currently available to be repurchased under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program to approximately $1,268,209, which is not subject to a termination date or expiration date.
