Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Note 2 . Summary of significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its 100 percent owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements also included the accounts of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) where the Company was the primary beneficiary of the arrangements until the VIE structure dissolved in January 2018 . See Note 5 for additional information regarding the cir cumstances surrounding the VIE. The Company consolidates the financial statements of these entities. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to confor m to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income , total stockholders’ equity or total cash flows. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with general ly accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dat e of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natu ral gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved a nd unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, goodwill, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of business combinations, fair value of nonmonetary transactions, fair value of derivative financial instruments and inco me taxes. Interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 is deriv ed from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments ar e of a normal, recurring nature. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these c ondensed notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Cash equivalents. The Comp any considers all cash on hand, depository accounts held by banks, money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in financial institutions in amounts that may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and histor y of the institutions selected. Goodwill. As a res ult of the RSP Acquisition, as defined in Note 4 , the Company has goodwill in the amount of $ 2.2 b illion at September 30, 2018 . Goodwill is not amortized but assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicat ors of impairment exist. Impairment tests, which involve the use of estimates related to the fair market value of the business operations with which goodwill is associated , are performed as of July 1 of each year. The balance of goodwill is allocated in it s entirety to the Company’s one reporting unit. When tes ting goodwill for impairment, the Company first perform s a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the analysis shows that the fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying value, then the Company perform s a qu antitative impairment test. The reporting unit’s fair value is calculated as the combined market capitalization of the Company’s equ ity plus a control premium plus the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt. As the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting S tandards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 , “ Intangibles – G oodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impa irment ” (“ASU 2017-04 ”), if the results of the quantitative test are such that the fai r value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is then reduced by an amount that is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the report ing unit exceeds the fair value. Equity method investments. The Company accounts for its equity method investments under the equity method of accounting and includes the investment balance in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses incurred from the Company’s equity investments are recorded in o ther income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company owns a 23.75 percent membership interest in Oryx Southern Delaware Holdings, LLC (“Oryx”), an entity th at operates a crude oil gathering and transportation system in the Southern Delaware Basin. In February 2018 , Oryx obtained a term loan of $800 million. The proceeds were used in part to fund a cash distribution to its equity holders, of which the Company received a distribution of approximately $157 million. Of this amount, approximately $54 million fully offset the Company’s net investment in Oryx. The remaining distribution of approximately $103 million was recorded in other income (expense) on the Compa ny’s consolidated statement of operations since the lenders to the term loan do not have recourse against the Company , and the Company has no contractual obligation to repay the distribution . The Company’s net investment in Oryx was approximately $ 49 million at December 31, 2017 . The Company recorded income of approximately $ 2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $ 5 million and $ 4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company will not record income or loss on the Oryx investment until such net income is greater than the distribution in excess of its investment. In February 2017, the Company closed on the divestiture of its 50 percent membership interest in a midstream joint venture, Alpha Crude Connector, LLC (“ACC”), that constructed a crude oil gathering and transportation system in the Northern Delaware Basin. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the di sposition of ACC. Litigation contingencies. The Company is a party to proceedings and claims incidental to its business. In each reporting period, the Company assesses these claims in an effort to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its consolidated financial statements. The amount of any resulting losses may differ from these estimates. An accrual is recorded for a material loss contingency when its occurrence is probable and damages are reasonably estim able. See Note 10 for additional information. Revenue recognition. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC ”) Topic 606 , “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ ASC 606 ”) using the modified retrospective approach , which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption did not require an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have a material impact on the Company ’s reported net income (loss), cash flows from operations or statement of stockholders’ equity . The C ompany recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company’s consolidated statement s of operations. All revenues are recognized in the geographical region of the Permian Basin. P rior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded oil and natural gas revenues at the time of physical transfer of such products to the purchaser, which for the Company is primarily at the wellhead. The Company followed the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas sales, recognizing revenues based on the Company’s actual proceeds from the oil and natural gas sold to purchasers. The Company enters in to contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606 . Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company’s perfor mance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transfe rred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physica l custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, reve nue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2018 , the C ompany had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $ 520 million. The following table shows the impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on the Company’s current period results as compared to the previous revenue recognition standard, ASC Topic 605, “Revenue recognition” (“ASC 605”): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 September 30, 2018 Under Under Increase Under Under Increase (in millions) ASC 606 ASC 605 (Decrease) ASC 606 ASC 605 (Decrease) Operating revenues: Oil sales $ 957 $ 952 $ 5 $ 2,545 $ 2,537 $ 8 Natural gas sales 235 227 8 539 519 20 Operating costs and expenses: Oil and natural gas production 156 159 (3) 416 424 (8) Gathering, processing and transportation 16 - 16 36 - 36 Net income (loss) $ (199) $ (199) $ - $ 773 $ 773 $ - Oil Contracts. The majority of the Company’s oil marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser. The majority of the oil produced is sold under contracts u sing market-based pricing which is then adjusted for differentials based upon delivery location and oil quality. To the extent the differentials are incurred after the transfer of control of the oil, the differentials are included in o il sales on the state ments of operations as they represent part of the transaction price of the contract. If the differentials, or other related costs, are incurred prior to the transfer of control of the oil, those costs are included in g athering, processing and transportatio n on the Company’s consolidated statement s of operations as they represent payment for services performed outside of the contract with the customer. Natural Gas Contracts. The majority of the Company’s natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been transferred to the purchaser. The natural gas is sold under (i) percent age of proceeds processing contr acts, (ii) fee-based contracts or ( iii) a hybrid of percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts. Un der the majority of the Company’s contracts, the purchaser gathers the natural gas in the field where it is produced and transports it via pipeline to natural gas processing plants where natural gas liquid products are extracted. The natural gas liquid pro ducts and remaining residue gas are then sold by the purchaser. Under the percentage of proceeds and hybrid percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts, the Company receives a percentage of the value for the extracted liquids and the residue gas. Under the fee - based contracts, the Company receives natural gas liquids and residue gas value, less the fee component, or is invoiced the fee component. To the extent control of the natural gas transfers upstream of the transportation and processing activities, revenue is recognized as the net amount r eceived from the purchaser. To the extent that control transfers downstream of those costs, revenue is recognized on a gross basis, and the related costs are classified in g athering, processing and transportation o n the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical exemption in accordance with ASC 606. Th e exemption , as de scribed in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied an d disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. General and administrative expense. The Company receives fees for the operation of jointly-owned oil and natural gas properties during the drilling and production phases and records such reimbursements as redu ctions to general and administrative expense. Such fees totaled approximate ly $ 4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $ 13 million and $ 12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectiv ely. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies how an entity subsequently measures goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In place of Step 2, under this standard an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the ca rrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This standard should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The early adoption of th is standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results. New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted. In Februar y 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) ” (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes current lease guidan ce. The new lease standard requires all leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financ ing and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 , and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make p olicy elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows for certain considerations under the original “Leases (Topic 840)” accounting standard (“Topic 840”) to be carried forward upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company enters into lease agreements to support its operations. These agreements are for leases on assets such as office space, vehicles, well equipment and drilling rigs. The Company ha s substantially completed the process of reviewing and determining the contracts to which this new guidance applies . The Company is currently enhancing its acc ounting system in order to track and calculate additional information necessary for adoption of this standard. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize r ight-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities that are not currently recognized under applicable guidance. T he Company does not believe this adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets b ased on the leases in place as of the filing of this Quarterly Report. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedie nt for Transition to Topic 842,” which provides an optional practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist ed or expired before the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840 . The Company enters into land easements on a routine basis as part of its ongoing operations and has many such agreements currently in place; however, the Company does not currently account for any land easements under Topic 840. As this guidance serves as an amendment to ASU 2016-02, t he Company will elect this practical expedient , which becomes effective upon the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 . After the adoption of ASU 2016-02 , the Company will assess any new land easements to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements , ” which provides a transition electio n to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new lease standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the year of adoption and to recognize the effects of applying t he new standard as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company expects to elect this transition approach and recognize the cumulative impact of adoption in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1 , 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, “Codification Improvements,” which makes amendments to multiple codification topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. The effective da te of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. Many of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on the financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In Jun e 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the current “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses wit h an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about th e expected credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is allowed as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe this ne w guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On August 17, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, in light of other disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The final rule amends numerous SEC rules, items and forms covering a diverse group of topics, including, but not limited to, changes in stockholders’ equity. The final ru le extends to interim periods the annual disclosure requirement in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-04, of presenting changes in stockholders’ equity. The registrants will be required to analyze changes in stockholders’ equity in the form of a reconciliation fo r the current quarter and year-to-date interim periods and comparative periods in the prior year. The final rule is effective for all filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. The Company is currently analyzing the final rule and will comply with t he new disclosure requirements for all filings after the effective date. |

Exploratory well costs [Abstract] | |
Exploratory well costs | Note 3 . Exploratory well costs The Company capitalizes exploratory well costs until a determination is made that the well has either found proved reserves or that it is impaired. After an exploratory well has been completed and found oil and natural gas reserves, a determination may be pending as to whether the oil and natural gas reserves can be classified as proved. In those circumstances, the Company continues to capitalize the well or project costs pending the determination of proved stat us if (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (ii) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. The capitalized exploratory well costs are carried in unproved oil and natural gas properties . See Note 16 for the proved and unproved components of oil and natural gas properties. If the exploratory well is determined to be impaired, the well costs are charged to e xploration and abandonments expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table reflects the Company’s net capitalized exploratory well activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 : Nine Months Ended (in millions) September 30, 2018 Beginning capitalized exploratory well costs $ 182 Additions to exploratory well costs pending the determination of proved reserves 321 Reclassifications due to determination of proved reserves (163) Disposition of wells (14) Ending capitalized exploratory well costs $ 326 The following table provides an aging at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of capitalized exploratory well costs based on the date drilling was completed: September 30, December 31, (in millions, except number of projects) 2018 2017 Capitalized exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period of one year $ 326 $ 180 or less Capitalized exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year - 2 Total capitalized exploratory well costs $ 326 $ 182 Number of projects with exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year - 2 |

RSP Permian Acquisition [Abstract] | |
RSP Permian Acquisition | Note 4 . RSP Acquisition On July 19, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of RSP Permian, Inc. (“RSP”) through an all-stock transaction (the “RSP Acquisition”) . RSP was an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The vast majority of RSP’s acreage was located on la rge, contiguous acreage blocks in the core of the Midland Basi n and Southern Delaware Basin. The acquisition added approximately 92,000 net acres . Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) , each share of RSP common s tock was converted into 0.320 of a share of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued approximately 51 million shares of common stock at a price of $148.27 per share, resulting in total consideration paid by the Company to the former RSP shareholders of approximately $7.5 billion. In connection with the closing of the RSP Acquisition , the Company repaid outstanding principal under RSP’s revolving credit facility and redeemed and canceled all of RSP’s outstanding unsecured senior notes . See Note 9 for additional information regarding the Company’s debt activity. In connection with the RSP Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $ 23 million and $ 33 million of costs related to consulting, investment banking, advisory, legal and other acquisition -related fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which are included in transaction costs in operating costs and expense s on the consol idated statements of operations. In addition, the Company acquired 670,369 shares of common stock from RSP employees for the payment of withholding taxes due on the vesting of their restricted shares pursuant to the Acquisition A greement, resulting in an increase of approximately $32 million in the Company’s treasury stock balance. Pu rchase price a llocation. The RSP Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method. The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of RSP to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Any value assigned to goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Certa in data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, and includes, but is not limited to, valuation of pre- acquisition contingencies, final tax returns that provide the underlying tax basis of RSP ’s assets and liabilities and f inal appraisals of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expect s to complete the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities, including goodwi ll, may be revised as appropriate. Th e following table sets forth the Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation: (in millions) Total purchase price $ 7,549 Fair value of liabilities assumed: Accounts payable – trade $ 25 Accrued drilling costs 131 Current derivative instruments 10 Other current liabilities 130 Long-term debt 1,758 Deferred income taxes 518 Asset retirement obligations 16 Noncurrent derivative instruments 5 Total liabilities assumed $ 2,593 Total purchase price plus liabilities assumed $ 10,142 Fair value of assets acquired: Accounts receivable $ 213 Current derivative instruments 36 Other current assets 21 Proved oil and natural gas properties 4,052 Unproved oil and natural gas properties 3,565 Other property and equipment 5 Noncurrent derivative instruments 2 Other long-term assets 2 Implied goodwill 2,246 Total assets acquired $ 10,142 The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on the following key inputs: Oil and natural gas properties The fair value of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert the future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development cos ts; (iv) future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital. The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange (“ NYMEX ”) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various dis count rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired. The fair value of asset ret irement obligation s totaled $ 16 million and is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above. The fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow model, which included assumptions of the estim ated current abandonment costs, discount rate, inflation rate and timing associated with the incurrence of these costs. The inputs used to value oil and natural gas properties and asset retirement obligation s require significant judgment and estimates ma de by management and represent Level 3 inputs. Financial instruments and other The fair value m easurements of long-term debt were estimated based on the market pric es and represent Level 1 inputs . The fair value measurements of derivative instruments as sumed were determined based on published forward commodity price curves, implied market volatility, contract terms and prices and discount factors as of the close date of the RSP Acquisitio n and represent Level 2 inputs. The fair values of commodity d eriva tive instruments in an asset position include a measure of counterparty nonperformance risk and the derivative instruments in a liability position include a measure of the Company’s own nonperformance risk, each based on the current published credit defaul t swap rates. The fair value s determined for accounts receivable, acc ounts payable – trade, accrued drilling costs and other current liabilities were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. Other current liabilities include approximately $22 million of liabilities primarily related to certain regulatory obligations. Deferred income taxes The RSP Acquisition qualified as a tax free merger whereby the Company acquired carryover tax basis in RSP’s assets and liabilities, adju sted for differences between the purchase price allocated to the a ssets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair valu e and the carryover tax basis. See Note 11 for additional discussion of deferred income taxes . Goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the following factors: ( i ) operating and administrative synergies and ( ii ) net deferred tax liabilities arising from the differences between the purchase price allocated to RSP’s assets and liabilities based on fair value and the tax basis of these assets and liabilities. For the operating and administrative synergies, the total consideration for the RSP Acquisition included a control premium, which resulted in a higher value compared to the fair value of net assets acquired. There are also other qualitative assumptions of long-term factors that the RSP Acquisition creates for the Company’s stockholders, including additional potential for exploration and development opportunities and additional scale and efficiencies in basins in which the Co mpany already operates. Approximately $ 250 million of operating revenues and approximately $ 15 million of loss from operations attributed to the RSP Acquisition are included in the Company’s results of operations from the closing date on July 19, 2018 through September 30, 2018 . Pro forma data. The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was derived from the historical financial statements of the Company giving effect to the RSP Acquisition, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The below information reflects pro forma adjustments for the issuance of the Company’s common stock in exch ange for RSP’s outstanding shares of common stock, as well as pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including (i) the Company’s common stock issued to convert RSP’s outstandin g shares of common stock and equity awards as of the closing date of the RSP A cquisition, (ii) the depletion of RSP’s fair-valued proved oil and gas properties and (iii) the estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments. Additionally, pro forma earni ngs were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred by the Company of approximately $ 23 million and $ 33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and acquisition-related costs incurred by RSP and severance payments to certain RSP employees that totaled approximately $ 52 million and $ 56 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The pro forma results of operations do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the RSP Acquisition or any estimated costs that h ave been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the RSP assets. The pro forma financial data does not include the results of operations for any other acquisitions made during the periods presented, as they were primarily acreage acquisitions and t heir results were not deemed material. The pro forma combined condensed financial data has been included for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the RSP Acquisition taken place on January 1, 2017 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.

Other acquisitions, divestitures and nonmonetary transactions | Note 5 . Ot her a cquisi tions, divestitures and nonmonetary transactions During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company entered into the following transactions (exclusive of the RSP Acquisition disclosed in Note 4) : February 2018 acquisition and divestiture. In February 2018, the Company closed on an acquisition treated as a business combination where it received producing wells with approximately 5 M B oepd along with approximately 21,000 net acres, primarily located i n the Midland Basin. As consideration for the non-cash acquisition, the Company divested of approximately 34,000 net acres, primarily comprised of approximately 32,000 net acres in the N orthern Delaware Basin, with current production of 3 MBoepd. The busin ess acquired was valued at approximately $755 million as compared to the historical book value of the divested assets of approximately $180 million, which resulted in a non-cash gai n of approximately $575 million . The fair value of the assets acquired totaled approximately $7 55 million, which was comprised of approximately $245 million of proved properties, approximately $480 million of unproved properties and approximately $30 million of other assets. The fair value of the assets received in the business combination approximated the fair value of assets disposed. Southern Delaware Basin divestitures. In January 2018, the Company closed on two asset sales transactions of certain non-core assets in Reeves and Ward Counties with combined proceeds of approximately $280 million . After direct transaction costs, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $134 million , which is included in g ain on disposition of assets, net on its consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The assets divested included proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties on approximately 20,000 net acres. These divestitures completed a transaction structured as a reverse like-kind exchange (“Reverse 1031 Exchange”) in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Re venue Code of 1986, as amended, that the Compan y entered into concurrent with its July 2017 Midland Basin acquisition . In connection with the Reverse 1031 Exchange, the Company assigned the ownership of the oil and natural gas properties acquired to a VIE formed by an exchange accommodation titleholder. The Company operated the properties pursuant to a management agreement with the VIE. At December 31, 2017 and prior to the completion of the reverse like-kind exchange in January 2018 , the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as the Company had the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Upon completion of the Reverse 1031 Exchange in January 2018 , the as sets and liabilities attributable to the acquisition that were held by the VIE were conveyed to the Company, and the VIE structure was dissolved . Nonmonetary transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company completed multiple nonmonetary transactions. These transactions include d the exchange of both proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties. Certain of these transactions were accounted for at fair value and , as a result , the Company recorded pre-tax gains of a pproximately $ 15 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company entered into the following transactions: Midland Basin acquisition. In July 2017, the Company completed an acquisition in the Midland Basin. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid approximately $595 million in cash. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company entered into a transaction structured as a Reve rse 1031 Exchange, which was completed in January 2018 upon the closing of its Southern Delaware Basin divestitures. Northern Delaware Basin acquisition. In January and April 2017, the Company closed on the two-part acquisition in the Northern Delaware Basin. As consideration for the entire acquisition, the Company paid approximately $160 million in cash and issued to the seller approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock with an approximate value of $291 million. ACC divestiture. In February 2 017, the Company closed on the divestiture of its ownership interest in ACC. The Company and its joint venture partner entered into separate agreements to sell 100 percent of their respective ownership interests in ACC. After adjustments for debt and worki ng capital, the Company received cash proceeds fro m the sale of approximately $801 million. After direct transaction costs, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $655 million, which is included in gain on disposition of assets, net o n its co nsolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The Company’s net investment in ACC at the time of closing was approximately $129 million. |

Disclosures about fair value measurements [Abstract] | |
Disclosures about fair value measurements | Note 7 . Disclosures about fair value measurements The Company uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following fair value input hierarchy: Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets to be those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 : Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Level 2 instruments primarily include non-ex change traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swaps, basis swaps, collars and floors, investments and interest rate swaps. The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i ) quoted forward prices f or commodities, (ii) time value, (iii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments and (iv) volatility factors, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 3 : Prices or valuation models that requir e inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources ( i.e. , supported by little or no market activity). The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various input s including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) time value, (iii) volatility factors and (iv) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (in millions) Value Value Value Value Derivative instrument liabilities $ 910 $ 910 $ 379 $ 379 Credit facility $ 193 $ 193 $ 322 $ 322 $600 million 4.375% senior notes due 2025 (a) $ 593 $ 605 $ 593 $ 624 $1,000 million 3.75% senior notes due 2027 (a) $ 988 $ 959 $ 987 $ 1,012 $1,000 million 4.3% senior notes due 2028 (a) $ 988 $ 996 $ - $ - $800 million 4.875% senior notes due 2047 (a) $ 789 $ 814 $ 789 $ 874 $600 million 4.85% senior notes due 2048 (a) $ 592 $ 606 $ - $ - (a) The carrying value includes associated deferred loan costs and any discount. Credit facility. The carrying amount of the Company’s credit facility, as amended and restated (the “Credit Facility”), approximates its fair value, as the applicable interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. Senior notes. The fair values of the Company’s senior notes are based on quoted market prices. The debt securities are not actively traded and, therefore, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Other financial assets and liabilities . The Company has ot her financial instruments consisting primarily of receivables, payables and other current assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Derivative instruments. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is estimated by management considering various factors, including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations and the time value of the underlying commitments. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect th e valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table s summarize (i) the valuation of each of the Company’s financial instruments by required fair value hierarchy levels and (ii) the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification, even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The Company nets the fair value of derivative instruments by counterparty in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2018 , the Company’s primary concentrations of credit risk are the risk of collecting accounts receivable and the risk of counterparties’ failure to perform under derivative obligations. The Company has entered into International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of its derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the Company and the co unterparties with rights of set- off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either the Company or a counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set off all derivative liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party.

Derivative financial instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative financial instruments | Note 8 . Derivative financial instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations. Commodity derivative instruments are used to (i) reduce the effect of the volatility of price changes on the oil and natural gas the Company produces and sells, (ii) support the Company’s capital budget and expenditure plans and (iii) support the economics associated with acquisitions. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument s for speculative or trading purposes. The Company also enters into fixed-price forward physical power purchase contracts to manage the volatility of the price of power needed for ongoing operations. The Company may also enter into physical delivery contra cts to effectively provide commodity price hedges. Because these physical contracts are not expected to be net cash settled, the Company has elected normal purchase or normal sale treatment and such contracts are thus recorded at cost. T he Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company reflects changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in its consolidated statements of operations as they occur. The following table summarizes the amounts reported in earnings related to the commodity derivative i nstruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Gain (loss) on derivatives: Oil derivatives $ (626) $ (205) $ (787) $ 260 Natural gas derivatives 1 (1) (6) 29 Total $ (625) $ (206) $ (793) $ 289 The following table represents the Company’s net cash receipts from (payments on) derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net cash receipts from (payments on) derivatives: Oil derivatives $ (46) $ 28 $ (245) $ 129 Natural gas derivatives 2 2 7 (3) Total $ (44) $ 30 $ (238) $ 126 Commodity derivative contracts at September 30, 2018 .

Credit facility. The Company’s Credit Facility has a maturity date of May 9, 2022. At September 30, 2018 , the Company’s commitments from its bank group were $2.0 billion , of which $ 1.8 billion was unused commitments, net of letters of credit . During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facility was 4.6 percent. Senior notes . Interest on the Company’s senior notes is paid in arrears semi-annually. The senior notes are fully and uncon ditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s 100 percent owned subsidiaries, subject to customary release provisions as described in Note 14 . On July 2, 2018, the Company issued $1,600 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $1,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.3% unsecured senior notes due 2028 (the “4.3% Notes”) and $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.85% unsecured senior notes due 2048 (the “4.85% Notes” and, together with the 4.3% Notes, the “Notes”). The 4.3% Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.660 percent of par, and the 4.85% Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.740 percent of par. Th e net proceeds of approximately $1,579 million were used to redeem and cancel all of RSP’s outstanding $700 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% unsecured senior notes due 2022 (the “RSP 2022 Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5 .25% unsecured senior notes due 2025 (the “RSP 2025 Notes” and, together with the RSP 2022 Notes, the “RSP Notes”). The Company made aggregate payments of approximately $1.2 billion to redeem and cancel the RSP Notes, including make-whole call premiums of approximately $35 million and $33 million for the RSP 2022 Notes and RSP 2025 Notes, respectively. The Company also paid accrued interest of approximately $14 million on the RSP Notes. The remaining proceeds, along with borrowings under the Company’s Credi t Facility, were used to repa y the $540 million of outstanding principal under RSP’s revolving credit facility, including $1 million in accrued interest.

Commitments and contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | Note 10 . Commitments and contingencies Legal actions . The Company is a party to proceedings and claims incidental to its business. Assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgment about uncertain future events. When evaluating contingencies related to legal proceedings, the Company may be unable to estimate losses due to a number of factors, including potential defenses, the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex legal and/or factual issues, the ong oing discovery and/or development of information important to the matter. For material matters that the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, it would disclose the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at this time. The Company does not believe that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are reasonably possible to occur will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liqui dity. The Company will continue to evaluate proceedings and claims involving the Company on a regular basis and will establish and adjust any estimated accruals as appropriate. Mabee Ranch litigation. On July 30, 2018, the owners of certain mineral and s urface interests on the Mabee Ranch in Martin and Andrews Counties, Texas filed a lawsuit against the Company in Martin County District Court. These owners claim ed that the Company breached certain leases by, among other things, exceeding permitted surface uses, failing to obtain required consents and failing to pay certain royalties due to them. The Company filed its answer to the lawsuit on September 10, 2018; shortly thereafter, the plaintiffs and the Company entered into settlement negotiations. Effecti ve September 28, 2018 , the parties executed a settlement agreement that provides for a dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice. Severance tax, royalty and joint interest audits . The Company is subject to routine severance, royalty and joint interest audits from regulatory bodies and non-operators and makes accruals as necessary for estimated exposure when deemed probable and estimable. Additionally, the Company is subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations a s to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, allowable costs under joint interest arrangements and other matters. Although the Company believe s that it has estimated its exposure with respect to the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. Regulatory and environmental compliance . Regulato ry liabilities relate to acquisitions where additional equipment is necessary to have facilities compliant with local, state and federal obligations. E nvironmental expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unl ess the timing of cash payments is fixed and readily determinable. Environmental liabilities normally involve estimates that are subject to revision until settlement occurs. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company ha d regulatory and environmental liabilities of approximately $32 million and $3 million, respectively. C ommitments. The Company periodically enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company is committed to expend funds . These contractual arrangements r elate to purchase agreements the Company has entered into including drilling commitments , water commitment agreements, through put volume delivery commitments, fixed and variable power commitments , sand commitment agreements, fixed asset commitments and maintenance commitments . The following table s ummarizes the Company’s commitments at September 30, 2018 : (in millions) Remaining 2018 $ 66 2019 79 2020 80 2021 76 2022 36 2023 33 Thereafter 129 Total $ 499 Throughput sales commitment. In May 2018, the Company entered into a one-year term oil marketing contract with a third-party pu rchaser. The contract requires the Company to deliver not less than seven thousand barrels per day. Should there be a delivery shortfall in any given month, the Company retain s an option to deliver the shortfall volume in any two subsequent months; however, failure to meet this volume delivery commitment would result in a penalty equal t o the volume shortfall multiplied by the then market price for oil. If production is not sufficient to meet the sales commitment, the Company may purchase commodities in the market to satisfy its commitment. Operating leases. The Company leases vehicles, equipment and office facilities under non-cancellable operating leases. Lease payments associated with these operating leases were approximately $ 3 million and $ 2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , r espectively, and approximately $ 9 milli on and $ 7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases at September 30, 2018 were as follows: (in millions) Remaining 2018 $ 3 2019 13 2020 12 2021 9 2022 2 2023 - Thereafter 1 Total $ 40 |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income taxes | Note 11 . Income taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate plus discrete items. The effective income tax rate s w ere 26 percent and 37 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, and 23 percent and 37 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The change i n the Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is primarily due to (i) the reduc tion of the U . S . federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, (ii) the impact of changes in non-deductible e xpenses, including transaction costs incurred in connection with the RSP Acquisition, and (iii) state income taxes, ne t of federal income tax benefits. As a result of the RSP Acquisit ion described in Note 4 and below, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $7 million, net of federal benefit , due to a change in the Company’s estimated state tax rate. Additionally, t he Company recorded a disc rete income tax b enefit related to stock-based awards of approximately $3 million and $6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. On July 19, 2018, the Company completed the a cquisition of RSP Permian Inc . For federal income tax purposes, the transaction qua lified as a tax free merger whereby the Company acquired carryover tax basis in RSP ’s assets and liabilities. The Company recorded an opening balance sheet deferred tax liability of $ 518 million, which includes a deferred t ax asset related to tax attributes acquired from RSP. The acquired income tax attributes primarily consist of NOLs and research and development credits that are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company expects th at these tax attributes will be fully utilized prior to expiration. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based upon the technical merits of the position . As part of the RSP Acquisition, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $20 million, primarily related to research and development credit s . If all or a portion of the unrecognized tax benefit is sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, the tax benefit will be recognized as a reduction to the Company's deferred tax liability and will affect the Company's effecti ve tax rate in the period recognized. The timing as to when the Company will substantially resolve the uncertainties associated with the unreco gnized tax benefit is uncertain. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the “Tax Cuts and Job s Act” (“TCJA”) , which enacted significant ch anges to federal income tax laws, including a decrease in the federal corporate income tax rat e from 35 percent to 21 percent, which was effective January 1, 2018 . In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implicatio ns of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ” (“SAB 118”) , the Company recorded, based on reasonable est imates, a $398 million decrease to its income tax provision at December 31, 2017. Th is provisional amount related to the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expe cted to reverse in the future. At September 30, 2018 , the Company has not completed its accounting for all of the tax effects of the TCJA and has not made an adjustment to the provisional tax benefit recorded under SAB 118 at December 31, 2017. The Company has not finalized its accounting for the TCJA pending guidance on matters related to treatment of certain compensation and the completion of its re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities . In addit ion, the Company has considered in its estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018 the impact of the statutory changes enacted by the TCJA, including reasonable estimates of those provisions effective for the 2018 tax year. |

Earnings per share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per share | Note 13 . Earnings per share The Company uses the two-class method of calculating earnings per share because certain of the Company’s unvested share-based awards qualify as participating securities. The Company’s basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is c omputed as ( i ) net income (loss) as reported, (ii) less participating basic earnings (iii) divided by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. The Company’s diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockho lders is computed as (i) basic earnings attributable to common stockholders, (ii) plus reallocation of participating earnings (iii) divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. The following table reconciles the Company’s earnings from o perations and earnings attributable to common stockholders to the basic and diluted earnings used to determine the Company’s earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, under the two-c lass method: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in millions) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net income (loss) as reported $ (199) $ (113) $ 773 $ 689 Participating basic earnings (a) - - (6) (5) Basic earnings attributable to common stockholders (199) (113) 767 684 Reallocation of participating earnings - - - - Diluted earnings attributable to common stockholders $ (199) $ (113) $ 767 $ 684 (a) Unvested restricted stock awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common equity holders of the Company. Participating earnings represent the distributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock awards do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so. The following table is a reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 188,953 147,557 161,605 147,233 Dilutive common stock options - - - 4 Dilutive performance units 313 - 342 549 Diluted 189,266 147,557 161,947 147,786 The following table is a summary of the performance units that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as inclusion of these items would be antidilutive: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Number of antidilutive units: Antidilutive performance units 111 - 110 107 Performance unit awards. The number of shares of common stock that will ultimately be issued for performance units will be determined by a combination of ( i ) comparing the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of a predetermined group of peer companies at the end of the performance period and (ii) the Company’s absolute total shareholder return at the end of the performance period. The performance period is 36 months. The actual payout of shares will be between zero and 300 percent . |

Subsidiary guarantors [Abstract] | |
Subsidiary guarantors | Note 14 . Subsidiary guarantors At September 30, 2018 , certain of the Company’s 100 percent owned subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s senior notes. The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes provide that the guarantees of its subsidiary guarantors will be released in certain cus tomary circumstances including (i) in connection with any sale, exchange or other disposition, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the capital stock of that guarantor to a person that is not the Company or a restricted subsidiary of the Compa ny, such that, after giving effect to such transaction, such guarantor would no longer constitute a subsidiary of the Company, (ii) in connection with any sale, exchange or other disposition (other than a lease) of all or substantially all of the assets of that guarantor to a person that is not the Company or a restricted subsidiary of the Company, (iii) upon the merger of a guarantor into the Company or any other guarantor or the liquidation or dissolution of a guarantor, (iv) if the Company designates any restricted subsidiary that is a guarantor to be an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the indenture, (v) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture and (vi) upon written notice of such release or discharge by the Company to the trustee following the release or discharge of all guarantees by such guarantor of any indebtedness that resulted in the creation of such guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee. See Note 9 for a summary of the Company’s senior notes. In accordance with practices accepted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has prepared condensed consolidating financial statements in order to quantify the assets, results of operations and cash flows of such subsidiaries as subsidiary guarantors. In addition, one of the Company’s subsidiaries does not guarantee the Company’s senior notes and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This entity is a 100 percent own ed subsidiary that was recently acquired, and is referred to as a “Subsidiary Non-Guarantor” in the tables below . An additional entity did not guarantee the Company’s senior notes at December 31, 2017 . This entity wa s a VIE that was formed to effectuate a tax-free exchange of assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Reverse 1031 Exchange was completed and all assets and liabilities attributable to the VIE were conveyed to the Company. This entity did not guarantee the Company’s se nior notes until the conveyance was completed. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the completion of the Reverse 1031 Exchange. The following condensed consolidating balance s heets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , condensed c o nsolidating statements of o perations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , present financial informati on fo r Concho Resources Inc. as the p arent on a stand-alone basis ( carrying any investments in subsidiaries under the equity method), financial information for the subsidiary guarantors on a stand-alone basis (carrying any investment in non-guarantor subsi diaries under the equity method), financial information for the subsidiary non-guarantor s on a stand-alone basis and the consolidation and elimination entries necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis. All current and d eferred income taxes are recorded on Concho Resources Inc., as the subsidiaries are flow-through entities for income tax purposes. The subsidiary guarantors and subsidiary non-guarantor s are not restricted from making distributions to the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of consolidation | Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its 100 percent owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements also included the accounts of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) where the Company was the primary beneficiary of the arrangements until the VIE structure dissolved in January 2018 . See Note 5 for additional information regarding the cir cumstances surrounding the VIE. The Company consolidates the financial statements of these entities. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to confor m to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income , total stockholders’ equity or total cash flows. |
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements | Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with general ly accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dat e of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natu ral gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved a nd unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, goodwill, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of business combinations, fair value of nonmonetary transactions, fair value of derivative financial instruments and inco me taxes. |
Interim financial statements | Interim financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 is deriv ed from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments ar e of a normal, recurring nature. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these c ondensed notes to the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 . |
Cash equivalents | Cash equivalents. The Comp any considers all cash on hand, depository accounts held by banks, money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in financial institutions in amounts that may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and histor y of the institutions selected. |
Goodwill | Goodwill. As a res ult of the RSP Acquisition, as defined in Note 4 , the Company has goodwill in the amount of $ 2.2 b illion at September 30, 2018 . Goodwill is not amortized but assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if indicat ors of impairment exist. Impairment tests, which involve the use of estimates related to the fair market value of the business operations with which goodwill is associated , are performed as of July 1 of each year. The balance of goodwill is allocated in it s entirety to the Company’s one reporting unit. When tes ting goodwill for impairment, the Company first perform s a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the analysis shows that the fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying value, then the Company perform s a qu antitative impairment test. The reporting unit’s fair value is calculated as the combined market capitalization of the Company’s equ ity plus a control premium plus the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt. As the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting S tandards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 , “ Intangibles – G oodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impa irment ” (“ASU 2017-04 ”), if the results of the quantitative test are such that the fai r value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is then reduced by an amount that is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the report ing unit exceeds the fair value. |
Equity method investments | Equity method investments. The Company accounts for its equity method investments under the equity method of accounting and includes the investment balance in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses incurred from the Company’s equity investments are recorded in o ther income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company owns a 23.75 percent membership interest in Oryx Southern Delaware Holdings, LLC (“Oryx”), an entity th at operates a crude oil gathering and transportation system in the Southern Delaware Basin. In February 2018 , Oryx obtained a term loan of $800 million. The proceeds were used in part to fund a cash distribution to its equity holders, of which the Company received a distribution of approximately $157 million. Of this amount, approximately $54 million fully offset the Company’s net investment in Oryx. The remaining distribution of approximately $103 million was recorded in other income (expense) on the Compa ny’s consolidated statement of operations since the lenders to the term loan do not have recourse against the Company , and the Company has no contractual obligation to repay the distribution . The Company’s net investment in Oryx was approximately $ 49 million at December 31, 2017 . The Company recorded income of approximately $ 2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $ 5 million and $ 4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company will not record income or loss on the Oryx investment until such net income is greater than the distribution in excess of its investment. In February 2017, the Company closed on the divestiture of its 50 percent membership interest in a midstream joint venture, Alpha Crude Connector, LLC (“ACC”), that constructed a crude oil gathering and transportation system in the Northern Delaware Basin. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the di sposition of ACC. |
Litigation contingencies | Litigation contingencies. The Company is a party to proceedings and claims incidental to its business. In each reporting period, the Company assesses these claims in an effort to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its consolidated financial statements. The amount of any resulting losses may differ from these estimates. An accrual is recorded for a material loss contingency when its occurrence is probable and damages are reasonably estim able. See Note 10 for additional information. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC ”) Topic 606 , “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ ASC 606 ”) using the modified retrospective approach , which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption did not require an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have a material impact on the Company ’s reported net income (loss), cash flows from operations or statement of stockholders’ equity . The C ompany recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company’s consolidated statement s of operations. All revenues are recognized in the geographical region of the Permian Basin. P rior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recorded oil and natural gas revenues at the time of physical transfer of such products to the purchaser, which for the Company is primarily at the wellhead. The Company followed the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas sales, recognizing revenues based on the Company’s actual proceeds from the oil and natural gas sold to purchasers. The Company enters in to contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606 . Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company’s perfor mance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transfe rred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physica l custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, reve nue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2018 , the C ompany had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $ 520 million. The following table shows the impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on the Company’s current period results as compared to the previous revenue recognition standard, ASC Topic 605, “Revenue recognition” (“ASC 605”): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 September 30, 2018 Under Under Increase Under Under Increase (in millions) ASC 606 ASC 605 (Decrease) ASC 606 ASC 605 (Decrease) Operating revenues: Oil sales $ 957 $ 952 $ 5 $ 2,545 $ 2,537 $ 8 Natural gas sales 235 227 8 539 519 20 Operating costs and expenses: Oil and natural gas production 156 159 (3) 416 424 (8) Gathering, processing and transportation 16 - 16 36 - 36 Net income (loss) $ (199) $ (199) $ - $ 773 $ 773 $ - Oil Contracts. The majority of the Company’s oil marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser. The majority of the oil produced is sold under contracts u sing market-based pricing which is then adjusted for differentials based upon delivery location and oil quality. To the extent the differentials are incurred after the transfer of control of the oil, the differentials are included in o il sales on the state ments of operations as they represent part of the transaction price of the contract. If the differentials, or other related costs, are incurred prior to the transfer of control of the oil, those costs are included in g athering, processing and transportatio n on the Company’s consolidated statement s of operations as they represent payment for services performed outside of the contract with the customer. Natural Gas Contracts. The majority of the Company’s natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been transferred to the purchaser. The natural gas is sold under (i) percent age of proceeds processing contr acts, (ii) fee-based contracts or ( iii) a hybrid of percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts. Un der the majority of the Company’s contracts, the purchaser gathers the natural gas in the field where it is produced and transports it via pipeline to natural gas processing plants where natural gas liquid products are extracted. The natural gas liquid pro ducts and remaining residue gas are then sold by the purchaser. Under the percentage of proceeds and hybrid percentage of proceeds and fee-based contracts, the Company receives a percentage of the value for the extracted liquids and the residue gas. Under the fee - based contracts, the Company receives natural gas liquids and residue gas value, less the fee component, or is invoiced the fee component. To the extent control of the natural gas transfers upstream of the transportation and processing activities, revenue is recognized as the net amount r eceived from the purchaser. To the extent that control transfers downstream of those costs, revenue is recognized on a gross basis, and the related costs are classified in g athering, processing and transportation o n the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations under its contracts with customers as it applies the practical exemption in accordance with ASC 606. Th e exemption , as de scribed in ASC 606-10-50-14(a), applies to variable consideration that is recognized as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Since each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied an d disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. |
General and administrative expense | General and administrative expense. The Company receives fees for the operation of jointly-owned oil and natural gas properties during the drilling and production phases and records such reimbursements as redu ctions to general and administrative expense. Such fees totaled approximate ly $ 4 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $ 13 million and $ 12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectiv ely. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies how an entity subsequently measures goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In place of Step 2, under this standard an entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the ca rrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This standard should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted after January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The early adoption of th is standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results. New accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted. In Februar y 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) ” (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes current lease guidan ce. The new lease standard requires all leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financ ing and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 , and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make p olicy elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows for certain considerations under the original “Leases (Topic 840)” accounting standard (“Topic 840”) to be carried forward upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company enters into lease agreements to support its operations. These agreements are for leases on assets such as office space, vehicles, well equipment and drilling rigs. The Company ha s substantially completed the process of reviewing and determining the contracts to which this new guidance applies . The Company is currently enhancing its acc ounting system in order to track and calculate additional information necessary for adoption of this standard. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize r ight-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities that are not currently recognized under applicable guidance. T he Company does not believe this adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets b ased on the leases in place as of the filing of this Quarterly Report. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedie nt for Transition to Topic 842,” which provides an optional practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist ed or expired before the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840 . The Company enters into land easements on a routine basis as part of its ongoing operations and has many such agreements currently in place; however, the Company does not currently account for any land easements under Topic 840. As this guidance serves as an amendment to ASU 2016-02, t he Company will elect this practical expedient , which becomes effective upon the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 . After the adoption of ASU 2016-02 , the Company will assess any new land easements to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements , ” which provides a transition electio n to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new lease standard. This transition election permits entities to change the date of initial application to the beginning of the year of adoption and to recognize the effects of applying t he new standard as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company expects to elect this transition approach and recognize the cumulative impact of adoption in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1 , 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, “Codification Improvements,” which makes amendments to multiple codification topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. The effective da te of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. Many of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently assessing the effect that this ASU will have on the financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In Jun e 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the current “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses wit h an “expected loss” methodology. This new methodology requires that a financial asset measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is intended to provide more timely decision-useful information about th e expected credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is allowed as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not believe this ne w guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. On August 17, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, in light of other disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The final rule amends numerous SEC rules, items and forms covering a diverse group of topics, including, but not limited to, changes in stockholders’ equity. The final ru le extends to interim periods the annual disclosure requirement in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-04, of presenting changes in stockholders’ equity. The registrants will be required to analyze changes in stockholders’ equity in the form of a reconciliation fo r the current quarter and year-to-date interim periods and comparative periods in the prior year. The final rule is effective for all filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. The Company is currently analyzing the final rule and will comply with t he new disclosure requirements for all filings after the effective date. |

Schedule of Pro Forma Information | Pro forma data. The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was derived from the historical financial statements of the Company giving effect to the RSP Acquisition, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The below information reflects pro forma adjustments for the issuance of the Company’s common stock in exch ange for RSP’s outstanding shares of common stock, as well as pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including (i) the Company’s common stock issued to convert RSP’s outstandin g shares of common stock and equity awards as of the closing date of the RSP A cquisition, (ii) the depletion of RSP’s fair-valued proved oil and gas properties and (iii) the estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments. Additionally, pro forma earni ngs were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs incurred by the Company of approximately $ 23 million and $ 33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and acquisition-related costs incurred by RSP and severance payments to certain RSP employees that totaled approximately $ 52 million and $ 56 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The pro forma results of operations do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the RSP Acquisition or any estimated costs that h ave been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the RSP assets. The pro forma financial data does not include the results of operations for any other acquisitions made during the periods presented, as they were primarily acreage acquisitions and t heir results were not deemed material. The pro forma combined condensed financial data has been included for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the RSP Acquisition taken place on January 1, 2017 and is not intended to be a projection of future results.
