Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information SEGMENT INFORMATION:
CNX consists of two principal business divisions: Exploration and Production (E&P) and Midstream. The principal activity of the E&P Division, which includes four reportable segments, is to produce pipeline quality natural gas for sale primarily to gas wholesalers. The E&P Division's reportable segments are Marcellus Shale, Utica Shale, Coalbed Methane, and Other Gas. The Other Gas Segment is primarily related to shallow oil and gas production which is not significant to the Company. It also includes the Company's purchased gas activities, unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivative instruments, realized gain on commodity derivative instruments that were partially monetized prior to their settlement dates, exploration and production related other costs, impairments of exploration and production properties, as well as various other operating activities assigned to the E&P Division but not allocated to each individual segment.
CNX's Midstream Division's principal activity is the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of natural gas gathering and other midstream energy assets of CNX Gathering and CNXM, which provide natural gas gathering services for the Company's produced gas, as well as for other independent third-parties in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Excluded from the Midstream Division are the gathering assets and operations of CNX that have not been contributed to CNX Gathering and CNXM. CNX owns and controls 100% of CNX Gathering, making CNXM a single-sponsor master limited partnership and thus the Company consolidates CNXM. The Midstream Division is comprised of a single Midstream segment.
The Company's unallocated expenses include other income/expense, gain on asset sales related to non-core assets, gain/loss on debt extinguishment and income taxes.
In the preparation of the following information, intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market prices. Operating profit for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating and non-operating expenses. Assets are reflected at the division level for E&P and are not allocated between each individual E&P segment. These assets are not allocated to each individual segment due to the diverse asset base controlled by CNX, whereby each individual asset may service more than one segment within the division. An allocation of such asset base would not be meaningful or representative on a segment by segment basis.
