There are no material differences between the fair value of the company’s financial instruments and the recorded carrying value. At March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the fair value of long-term debt ($4,4473,447 million, excluding finance lease obligations) was primarily a level 2 measurement.
Derivative instruments
The company’s size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businessesits business segments reduce the company’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices and currency exchange rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivative instrumentsderivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line “Revenues”. The company does not designate derivative instruments as a hedge for hedge accounting purposes.
Credit risk associated with the company’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties.

During theCOVID-19pandemic, industry investment to maintain and increase production capacity was restrained to preserve capital, resulting in underinvestment and supply tightness as demand for petroleum and petrochemical products recovered. Across late 2021 and early 2022, this dynamic, along with supply chain constraints, and a continuation of demand recovery led to a steady increase in oil and natural gas prices. In the first quarter of 2022, tightness in2023, the oil and natural gas markets was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions imposed upon business and other activities in Russia. The price of crude oil decreased as the global oil market saw higher inventory levels. The increase in inventory levels was followed by announcements early in the second quarter of decreased production in certain key oil-producing countries. In addition, the Canadian WTI/WCS spread continued to widen in January and certain regional natural gas indicators increasedFebruary before beginning to recover in March. Refining margins remained high due to low inventory levels not seen for several years.of petroleum products.
