Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments
The Company's policy allows the use of derivative instruments as part of an overall energy price, foreign currency and interest rate risk management program to efficiently manage and minimize commodity price, foreign currency and interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding commodity, foreign currency or interest rate hedges.
The fair value of derivative instruments must be estimated as of the end of each reporting period and is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or a liability.
Fidelity
At March 31, 2015, Fidelity held oil swap agreements with total forward notional volumes of 958,000 Bbl and natural gas swap agreements with total forward notional volumes of 2.8 million MMBtu. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Fidelity had no outstanding derivative agreements. Fidelity historically utilized these derivative instruments to manage a portion of the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas on its forecasted sales of oil and natural gas production. The realized and unrealized gains and losses on the commodity derivative instruments, which were not designated as hedges, were both included in income (loss) from discontinued operations and the associated assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale.
Centennial
Centennial has historically entered into interest rate derivative instruments to manage a portion of its interest rate exposure on the forecasted issuance of long-term debt. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and December 31, 2015, Centennial had no outstanding interest rate swap agreements.

All of the Company's commodity derivative instruments at March 31, 2015, were subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements. However, the Company's policy is to not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments and, as a result, the Company's derivative assets and liabilities are presented gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross derivative assets and liabilities (excluding settlement receivables and payables that may be subject to the same master netting agreements) presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the amount eligible for offset under the master netting agreements is presented in the following table:
