Short-term Debt [Abstract]
Short-Term Notes Payable:	SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE: CONSOL Energy's $1,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 5, 2013, expires April 12, 2016. The amendment reduced the availability from $1,500,000 to $1,000,000 resulting in an acceleration of previously deferred financing charges of $3,195 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of CONSOL Energy and certain of its subsidiaries. CONSOL Energy's credit facility allows for up to $1,000,000 of borrowings and letters of credit. CONSOL Energy can request an additional $250,000 increase in the aggregate borrowing limit amount. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on a ratio of financial covenant debt to twelve-month trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), measured quarterly. The facility includes a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant of no less than 1.50 to 1.00, measured quarterly through March 30, 2015 and 2.00 to 1.00 thereafter. The interest coverage ratio was 2.21 to 1.00 at December 31, 2013. The facility also includes a senior secured leverage ratio covenant of not more than 2.00 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The senior secured leverage ratio was less than 1.00 to 1.00 at December 31, 2013. Affirmative and negative covenants in the facility limit our ability to dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CONSOL Energy common stock, pay dividends, merge with another corporation and amend, modify or restate the senior unsecured notes. At December 31, 2013, the $1,000,000 facility had no borrowings outstanding and $206,988 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $793,012 of capacity available for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit. At December 31, 2012, the former $1,500,000 facility had no borrowings outstanding and $100,292 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $1,399,708 of capacity available for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit.

Covenants in the facility limit CNX Gas' ability to dispose of assets, make investments, pay dividends and merge with another corporation. The credit facility allows investments in joint ventures for the development and operation of gas gathering systems and provides for $600,000 of loans, advances and dividends from CNX Gas to CONSOL Energy. Investments in CONE are unrestricted. The facility includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.50 to 1.00, measured quarterly.
