NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations | NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION PDC Energy, Inc. is a domestic independent exploration and production company that acquires, explores and develops properties for the production of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, with operations in the Wattenberg Field in Colorado and the Delaware Basin in west Texas. Our operations in the Wattenberg Field are focused in the horizontal Niobrara and Codell plays and our Delaware Basin operations are primarily focused in the horizontal Wolfcamp zones. As of March 31, 2022, we owned an interest in approximately 3,450 gross productive wells. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDC and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. Our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. |

Contract assets include material contributions in aid of construction, which are common in purchase and processing agreements with midstream service providers that are our customers. The intent of the payments is primarily to reimburse the customer for actual costs incurred related to the construction of its gathering and processing infrastructure. Contract assets are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract assets are amortized as a reduction to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales revenue during the periods in which the related production is transferred to the customer. The following table presents the changes in carrying amounts of the contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022: (in thousands) Beginning balance $ 15,472 Additions (Net reduction to additions previously recognized) (5,112) Amortized as a reduction to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales (328) Ending balance $ 10,032 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure | NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Recurring Fair Value Measurements Derivative Financial Instruments. We measure the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments based upon a pricing model that utilizes market-based inputs, including, but not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, crude oil and natural gas forward curves, discount rates, volatility factors and nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk considers the effect of our credit standing on the fair value of derivative liabilities and the effect of our counterparties’ credit standings on the fair value of derivative assets. Both inputs to the model are based on published credit default exchange rates and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. We use our counterparties’ valuations to assess reasonableness of our fair value measurement. Our crude oil and natural gas fixed-price exchanges and basis exchanges are included in Level 2. Our collars are included in Level 3. The following table presents, for each applicable level within the fair value hierarchy, our derivative assets and liabilities, including both current and non-current portions, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Line Item Significant Other Significant Total Significant Other Significant Total (in thousands) Derivative assets Current Fair value of derivatives $ 6,795 $ 6,363 $ 13,158 $ — $ 17,909 $ 17,909 Non-current Fair value of derivatives 4,680 15,276 19,956 605 14,572 15,177 Total $ 11,475 $ 21,639 $ 33,114 $ 605 $ 32,481 $ 33,086 Derivative liabilities Current Fair value of derivatives $ (389,334) $ (183,302) $ (572,636) $ (230,695) $ (74,175) $ (304,870) Non-current Fair value of derivatives (169,736) (64,548) (234,284) (74,715) (20,846) (95,561) Total $ (559,070) $ (247,850) $ (806,920) $ (305,410) $ (95,021) $ (400,431) The following table presents a reconciliation of our Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Fair value of Level 3 instruments, net asset (liability) beginning of period $ (62,540) $ (8,427) Changes in fair value included on condensed consolidated statements of operations line item: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net (209,771) (33,389) Settlements included on condensed consolidated statement of operations line items: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net 46,100 5,582 Fair value of Level 3 instruments, net asset (liability) end of period $ (226,211) $ (36,234) Net change in fair value of Level 3 unsettled derivatives included on condensed consolidated statements of operations line item: Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net $ (159,118) $ (30,863) The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of our derivative contracts is the implied volatility curve, which is provided by a third-party vendor. A significant increase or decrease in the implied volatility, in isolation, would have a directionally similar effect resulting in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of our Level 3 derivative contracts. There has been no change in the methodology we apply to measure the fair value of our Level 3 derivative contracts during the periods covered by the financial statements. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Acquisitions and Impairment of Long-lived Assets. We measure fair value using inputs that are not observable in the market, and are therefore designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, on a nonrecurring basis for any acquired assets or businesses and to review our proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties for possible impairment. Asset Retirement Obligations. We measure the fair value of asset retirement obligations as of the date a well begins drilling or when production equipment and facilities are installed using a discounted cash flow model based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore are designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Other Financial Instruments The carrying value of the financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Long-term Debt. The portion of our long-term debt related to our revolving credit facility approximates fair value, as the applicable interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. We have not elected to account for the portion of our debt related to our senior notes under the fair value option; however, we have determined an estimate of the fair values based on measurements of trading activity and broker or dealer quotes, which are published market prices, and therefore are Level 2 inputs. The table below presents these estimates of the fair value of the portion of our long-term debt related to our senior notes as of the dates indicated: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Nominal Interest Estimated Fair Value Percent of Par Estimated Fair Value Percent of Par (in millions) (in millions) Senior Notes: 2024 Senior Notes 6.125 % $ 202.6 101.3 % $ 202.8 101.4 % 2026 Senior Notes 5.75 % 762.0 101.6 % 775.5 103.4 % |

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 5 - COMMODITY DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Objective and Strategy. Our results of operations and operating cash flows are affected by changes in market prices for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. To manage a portion of our exposure to price volatility from producing crude oil and natural gas we enter into commodity derivative contracts such as collars, fixed-price exchanges and basis protection exchanges, to protect against price declines in future periods. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We believe our commodity derivative instruments continue to be effective in achieving the risk management objectives for which they were intended. Depending on changes in crude oil and gas futures markets and management’s view of underlying supply and demand trends, we may increase or decrease our derivative positions from current levels. As of March 31, 2022, we had derivative instruments in place for a portion of our anticipated production in 2022 through 2025. Our commodity derivative contracts have been entered into at no upfront cost to us as we hedge our anticipated production at the then-prevailing commodity market prices, without adjustment for premium or discount. Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations .

The balance sheet line items and fair value amounts of our derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements. Our financial derivative agreements contain master netting provisions that provide for the net settlement of contracts through a single payment in the event of early termination. We have elected not to offset the fair value positions recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the impact of netting agreements on gross derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022: Total Gross Amount Presented on the Balance Sheet Effect of Master Netting Agreements Total Net Amount (in thousands) Derivative assets: Derivative instruments, at fair value $ 33,114 $ (33,114) $ — Derivative liabilities: Derivative instruments, at fair value $ 806,920 $ (33,114) $ 773,806 Derivative Counterparties. Our commodity derivative instruments expose us to the risk of non-performance by our counterparties. We use financial institutions who are also lenders under our revolving credit facility as counterparties to our commodity derivative contracts. To date, we have had no derivative counterparty default losses. We have evaluated the credit risk of our derivative assets from our counterparties using relevant credit market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. Based on our evaluation, we have determined that the potential impact of nonperformance of our current counterparties on the fair value of our derivative instruments is not significant at March 31, 2022; however, this determination may change. |

The Restated Credit Agreement matures on the earlier to occur of (i) the end of the five-year term on November 2, 2026 or (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the scheduled maturity of the 2026 Senior Notes if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of those notes exceeds $500 million and our commitment utilization exceeds 50%. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital requirements, capital investments, acquisitions, to support letters of credit and for general business purposes. The borrowing base is based on, among other things, the loan value assigned to the proved reserves attributable to our crude oil and natural gas interests. The borrowing base is subject to a semi-annual redetermination on November 1 and May 1 based upon quantification of our reserves at June 30 and December 31, and is also subject to a redetermination upon the occurrence of certain events. Substantially all of our crude oil and natural gas properties have been mortgaged or pledged as security for our revolving credit facility. The Restated Credit Agreement includes an investment grade period election pursuant to which we have an option to remove our borrowing base limitations and terminate the liens securing the Restated Credit Agreement when certain debt ratings are achieved. As of March 31, 2022, we had a borrowing base of $2.4 billion, an elected commitment of $1.5 billion and availability under our revolving credit facility of $1.48 billion, net of $19.9 million of letters of credit outstanding. In April 2022, as part of our credit facility 2022 semi-annual redetermination, our borrowing base increased from $2.4 billion to $3.0 billion; however, we maintained our elected commitment amount of $1.5 billion. The outstanding principal amount under the revolving credit facility accrues interest at a varying interest rate that fluctuates with an alternate base rate (equal to the greatest of the administrative agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus a premium and the rate for dollar deposits in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for one month, plus a premium) or, at our election, a rate equal to SOFR for certain time periods. Additionally, commitment fees, interest margin and other bank fees, charged as a component of interest, vary with our utilization of the facility. As of March 31, 2022, the applicable interest margin is 0.75 percent for the alternate base rate option or 1.75 percent for the SOFR option, and the unused commitment fee is 0.375 percent. Principal payments are generally not required until the maturity date of the revolving credit facility, unless the borrowing base falls below the outstanding balance. The Restated Credit Agreement also includes the ability to add certain sustainability-linked key performance indicators to be agreed upon between us, the administrative agent and a majority of the lenders and that may impact the applicable margin and commitment fee rate. The revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements, which include, among other things: (i) maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined per the revolving credit facility, including a minimum current ratio of 1.0:1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5:1.0; (ii) restrictions on the payment of cash dividends; (iii) limits on the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (iv) prohibition on the entry into commodity hedges exceeding a specified percentage of our expected production; and (v) restrictions on mergers and dispositions of assets. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants related to our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, debt issuance costs related to our revolving credit facility were $16.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Senior Notes The following table summarizes the face values, interest rates, maturity dates, semi-annual interest payment dates, and optional redemption periods related to our outstanding senior note obligations as of March 31, 2022: 2024 Senior Notes 2026 Senior Notes Outstanding principal amounts (in thousands) $ 200,000 $ 750,000 Interest rate 6.125 % 5.75 % Maturity date September 15, 2024 May 15, 2026 Interest payment dates March 15, September 15 May 15, November 15 Redemption periods (1) September 15, 2022 May 15, 2024 _____________ (1) At any time prior to the indicated dates, we have the option to redeem all or a portion of our senior notes of the applicable series at the redemption amounts specified in the respective senior note indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On or after the indicated dates, we may redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at a redemption amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, PDC Permian, Inc., is a guarantor of our obligations under the 2024 Senior Notes and the 2026 Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to all of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control”, as defined in the indentures for the Senior Notes, holders will have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. In connection with certain asset sales, we may, under certain circumstances, be required to use the net cash proceeds of such asset sale to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100 percent of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants and restricted payment provisions that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or make distributions on our stock; purchase or redeem stock or subordinated indebtedness; make investments; create certain liens; enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments by restricted subsidiaries to us; enter into transactions with affiliates; sell assets; consolidate or merge with or into other companies or transfer all or substantially of our assets; and create unrestricted subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and all restricted payment provisions related to our Senior Notes. |

Common Stock | NOTE 12 - COMMON STOCK Stock-Based Compensation Plans 2018 Equity Incentive Plan . In May 2020, our stockholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to our long-term equity compensation plan for employees and non-employee directors (the “2018 Plan”) to 7,050,000 shares. As of March 31, 2022, there were 3,836,691 shares available for grant under the 2018 Plan. 2010 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan . Our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, approved in 2013 (the “2010 Plan”), remains outstanding and we may continue to use the 2010 Plan to grant awards. No awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan on or after June 5, 2023. As of March 31, 2022, there were 465,780 shares available for grant under the 2010 Plan. The following table provides a summary of the impact of our outstanding stock-based compensation plans on the results of operations for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) General and administrative expense $ 5,182 $ 4,828 Lease operating expense 292 192 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 5,474 $ 5,020 Restricted Stock Units The following table presents the changes in non-vested time-based RSUs to eligible employees, including executive officers, for the three months ended March 31, 2022: Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share Non-vested at beginning of period 1,165,187 $ 25.33 Granted 92,411 57.57 Vested (196,336) 28.76 Forfeited (5,730) 26.40 Non-vested at end of period 1,055,532 27.51 The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units was $57.57 and $28.75 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of restricted stock units that vested for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $5.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Total compensation cost related to non-vested time-based awards and not yet recognized on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as of March 31, 2022 was $21.8 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. Performance Stock Units The Compensation Committee awarded a total of 102,098 market-based PSUs to our executive officers during the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition to continuous employment, the vesting of these PSUs is contingent on a combination of absolute stock performance and our total stockholder return (“TSR”), which is essentially our stock price change, including any dividends, over a three-year period ending on December 31, 2024, as compared to the TSR of a group of peer companies over the same period. The PSUs will result in a payout between zero and 250 percent of the target PSUs awarded. The grant-date fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. The expected term of the awards was based on the requisite service period. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant and extrapolated to approximate the life of the award. The expected volatility was based on our common stock historical volatility, as well as that of our peer group. The following table summarizes the key assumptions and related information used to determine the grant-date fair value of performance stock units awarded during the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 Expected term of award (in years) 2.9 2.9 Risk-free interest rate 1.7% 0.2% Expected volatility 86.3% 84.6% Weighted average grant date fair value per share $107.85 $54.01 The following table presents the change in non-vested market-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2022: Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share Non-vested at beginning of period 439,229 $ 43.21 Granted 102,098 107.85 Granted for performance multiple (1) 241,183 43.10 Released (1) (241,183) 43.10 Non-vested at end of period 541,327 55.40 _____________ (1) Upon completion of the performance period for the PSUs granted in 2019 and a portion of the PSUs granted in 2020, a performance multiple of 190% was applied to each of the grants resulting in additional grants of PSUs in January 2022. Total compensation cost related to non-vested market-based awards not yet recognized on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as of March 31, 2022 was $19.5 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. Preferred Stock We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, which may be issued in one or more series, with such rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions as shall be fixed by our board of directors from time to time. Through March 31, 2022, no shares of preferred stock have been issued. Stock Repurchase Program In 2019, our board of directors approved a program pursuant to which we may acquire shares of our common stock from time to time. At December 31, 2021, $187.3 million of the approved $525.0 million remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program. In February 2022, our board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program that reset the total repurchase value to $1.25 billion, which we currently anticipate fully utilizing by December 31, 2023. The stock repurchase program does not require any specific number of shares to be acquired and can be modified or discontinued by our board of directors at any time. Repurchases under the program can be made in open markets at our discretion and in compliance with safe harbor provisions, or in privately negotiated transactions. Pursuant to the program, we repurchased 1.3 million and 0.6 million shares of outstanding common stock at a cost of $85.3 million and $22.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, $1.19 billion remained available under the program for repurchases of our outstanding common stock. Dividends |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure | NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES We compute our quarterly tax provision using the effective tax rate method by applying the anticipated annual effective rate to our year-to-date income or loss, except for discrete items. Income tax on discrete items is computed and recorded in the period in which the specific transaction occurs. We consider whether a portion, or all, of our deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) will be realized based on a more likely than not standard of judgment. The ultimate realization of DTAs is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. At each reporting period, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in carryback periods, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Our oil and gas property impairments and cumulative pre-tax losses were key considerations that led us to continue to provide a valuation allowance against our DTAs as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 since we cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that our DTAs will be fully realized in future periods. Future events or new evidence which may lead us to conclude that it is more likely than not that our DTAs will be realized include, but are not limited to, cumulative historical pre-tax earnings, sustained or continued improvements in oil prices, and taxable events that could result from one or more transactions. Given recent improvements in oil and gas prices and improvements in our current earnings, we believe there is a reasonable possibility that, if oil and natural gas prices remain similar to March 31, 2022 pricing levels, sufficient positive evidence may become available within the next 12 months to allow us to reach a conclusion that all or a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on the level of profitability that we actually achieve. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were 3.9 percent and 0.6 percent provision on the respective pre-tax losses. The effective tax rates differ from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21 percent to the pre-tax loss due to the valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets. As of March 31, 2022, there is no liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of the date of this report, we are current with our income tax filings in all applicable state jurisdictions and are not currently under any state income tax examinations. The IRS has accepted our 2020 federal income tax return with no tax adjustments. We continue to voluntarily participate in the IRS CAP program for the review of our 2021 and 2022 tax years. Participation in the IRS CAP Program has enabled us to have minimal uncertain tax benefits associated with our federal tax return filings. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | NOTE 14 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly computed, except that the denominator includes the effect, using the treasury stock method, of unvested stock-based employee awards and shares held pursuant to our non-employee director deferred compensation plan, if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. The following table presents our weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 96,279 99,702 Weighted average common shares and equivalents outstanding - diluted 96,279 99,702 We reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. As a result, our basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were the same for those periods because the effect of the common share equivalents was anti-dilutive. The following table presents the weighted average common share equivalents excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect for the periods presented: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in thousands) Weighted average common share equivalents excluded from diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect: RSUs and PSUs 2,281 1,748 Other stock-based awards 143 212 Total anti-dilutive common share equivalents 2,424 1,960 |

Basis of Accounting, Policy | In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. Our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period |
Earnings Per Share, Policy | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Asset Retirement Obligation [Policy Text Block] | Our estimated asset retirement obligations liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated economic lives and estimated plugging, abandonment and surface reclamation costs considering federal and state regulatory requirements in effect at the time that the obligation is incurred. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or revised. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the present value of the existing asset retirement obligations liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the properties and equipment balance. Changes in the liability due to the passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as accretion expense. |
