Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Financial and Derivative Instruments Financial and Derivative Instruments
The company primarily uses commodity derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk related to physical hydrocarbon shipments. The company’s commodity derivative instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas and refined product futures, swaps, options and forward contracts.
The company uses commodity derivative instruments traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and on electronic platforms of the Inter-Continental Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, the company enters into swap contracts and option contracts principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in “over-the-counter” markets, which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements and other master netting arrangements.
Although historically the company’s derivative instruments have not been material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, heightened volatility in commodity prices associated with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East resulted in significant mark-to-market earnings and cash flow impacts during the first and second quarters of 2026. The company actively manages market and liquidity risks and has sufficient liquidity to meet collateral requirements, which are generally short-term in nature.
Additionally, the company applies cash flow hedge accounting on a limited basis to derivative commodity transactions used to manage the market price risk associated with certain forecasted sales of crude oil. The company performs regression analyses periodically to help ensure that the month-over-month changes in the specified component in the physical sales contracts are highly correlated with changes in the index futures prices.
Derivative instruments measured at fair value at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows:

The amount reclassified from AOCL to “Sales and other operating revenues” from designated hedges for the first six months of 2026 was a loss of $143 million compared with a loss of $40 million in the same period of the prior year. At June 30, 2026, before-tax deferred gains in AOCL related to outstanding crude oil price hedging contracts were $129 million, of which all is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged crude oil sales are recognized in earnings.
The following table represents gross and net derivative assets and liabilities subject to netting agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable”, “Long-term receivables”, “Accounts payable”, and “Deferred credits and other noncurrent
obligations.” Gross Amounts Not Offset in the table above represent derivative mark-to-market positions that do not meet all the conditions for “a right of offset.”
At June 30, 2026, the company had posted $139 million of cash collateral under master netting arrangements not offset against the derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily related to initial margin requirements. The respective balance at December 31, 2025, was approximately zero.
The company’s net short position in outstanding commodity derivative contracts was approximately 31 million and 29 million barrels of oil-equivalent at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, primarily to manage certain price risks related to physical shipments of crude oil and refined products.
