At December 31, 2018, we had in place ten commodity purchase and sale contracts with fair value associated with them as the contractual prices of crude oil were outside of the range of prices specified in the agreements. These commodity purchase and sale contracts encompassed approximately:
322 barrels per day of crude oil during January 2019 through April 2019;
258 barrels per day of crude oil during May 2019;
322 barrels per day of crude oil during June 2019 through August 2019; and
258 barrels per day of crude oil during September 2019 through December 2019.

At December 31, 2017, we had in place twenty commodity purchase and sale contracts, of which four of these contracts had no fair value associated with them as the contractual prices of crude oil were within the range of prices specified in the agreements. These commodity purchase and sale contracts encompassed approximately:
452 barrels per day of crude oil during January 2018;
322 barrels per day of crude oil during February through May 2018;
258 barrels per day of crude oil during June 2018;
646 barrels per day of crude oil during July 2018;
322 barrels per day of crude oil during August through September 2018; and
258 barrels per day of crude oil during October through December 2018.

We only enter into commodity contracts with creditworthy counterparties and evaluate our exposure to significant counterparties on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we were not holding nor have we posted any collateral to support our forward month fair value derivative activity.  We are not subject to any credit-risk related trigger events. We have no other financial investment arrangements that would serve to offset our derivative contracts.

These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input used to estimate their fair value. Our assessment of the relative significance of these inputs requires judgments.

When determining fair value measurements, we make credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and our counterparty’s nonperformance risk. When adjusting the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we consider the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. Credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as credit scores to evaluate the likelihood of default by us or our counterparties. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our fair value contracts. As a result, applicable fair value assets and liabilities are included in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had no long-lived assets that were subject to non-recurring fair value measurements.
