Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company’s operations expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in commodity prices and changes in interest rates. As part of its risk management process, the Company began entering into commodity swap transactions through regulated commodity exchanges in February 2020. To manage interest rate exposure, the Company has entered into derivative instruments using interest rate swaps. The objective of entering into interest rate swaps is to eliminate the variability of cash

flows associated with movements in interest rates over the life of the loans.
