Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES We continue to maintain a commodity hedging program primarily focused on crude oil to help protect our cash flows, margins and capital program from the volatility of commodity prices. We also enter into natural gas swaps for the purpose of hedging our fuel consumption at one of our steamfloods as well as swaps for natural gas purchases and sales related to our marketing activities. We did not have any derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, we use the term "hedge" to describe derivative instruments that are designed to implement our hedging strategy. Summary of Derivative Contracts We held the following Brent-based contracts as of March 31, 2024:

At March 31, 2024, we also held the following swaps to hedge purchased natural gas used in our operations as shown in the table below.

We also have a limited number of derivative contracts related to our natural gas marketing activities are intended to lock in locational price spreads. These derivative contracts are not significant to our results of operations or financial statements taken as a whole. Fair Value of Derivatives Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. We report gains and losses on our derivative contracts which hedge commodity price risk related to our oil production and our marketing activities in operating revenue on our consolidated statements of operations as shown in the table below:

We report gains and losses on our derivative contracts for purchased natural gas used to generate steam for our steamflood operations as a component of operating expense on our consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a net loss of $1 million (which includes a non-cash gain of $1 million and $2 million of settlement payments) in other operating expenses, net on our consolidated statement of operations. We did not have derivative contracts related to purchased natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
