Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments
(13) Business Segments
CVR Energy’s revenues are primarily derived from the two reportable segments: Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer, which were determined based on the management approach, reflecting the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate performance and make strategic decisions.
•Petroleum includes the refining and marketing of high value transportation fuels which consist of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and distillates. The Petroleum Segment also includes activities related to crude gathering and logistics that support the refinery operations.
•Nitrogen Fertilizer includes the production and sales of nitrogen fertilizer products, primarily in the form of ammonia and UAN, for the farming industry.
The CODM evaluates the performance of each reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources, as applicable, based on segment operating income (loss) which includes the revenue and expenses that are directly attributable to each segment, as well as the total assets per segment. The CODM uses operating income (loss) and total assets by segment to assess the results generated by each reportable segment and to decide, as applicable, whether to recommend that the boards reinvest profits into the reportable segments, if at all, or pay dividends. Operating income (loss) by segment is also used to analyze performance against the budget and the Company’s competitors.
The following tables present the operating results and capital expenditures information by segment, the reconciliations to the consolidated net profit (loss), and other required disclosures. The other amounts reflect intercompany transactions, corporate cash and cash equivalents, income tax activities, and other corporate activities that are not allocated or aggregated to the reportable segments.
