Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization CVR Energy, Inc. ("CVR Energy, "CVR,", "we," "us,", "our," or the "Company") is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining, LP ("CVR Refining") and CVR Partners, LP ("CVR Partners"). CVR Refining is a refiner that does not have crude oil exploration or production operations (an "independent petroleum refiner") and is a marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN"). Ammonia is a direct application fertilizer and is primarily used as a building block for other nitrogen products for industrial applications and finished fertilizer products. UAN is an aqueous solution of urea and ammonium nitrate. The Company's operations include two business segments: the petroleum segment and the nitrogen fertilizer segment. CVR's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "CVI." As of June 30, 2018 , Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("IEP") and its affiliates owned approximately 82% of the Company's outstanding shares. On May 28, 2018, the board of directors of the Company declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2018 to the Company's stockholders of $0.75 per share, or $65 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on August 13, 2018 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2018 . IEP will receive $53 million in respect of its 82% ownership interest in the Company's shares. On June 18, 2018, CVR Energy commenced an offer to exchange up to 37,154,236 common units of CVR Refining for shares of CVR Energy common stock at an exchange ratio of one common unit for 0.6335 shares of CVR Energy common stock. The offer and withdrawal rights will expire on July 27, 2018 at 5:00 pm, unless the offer is extended by CVR Energy. CVR Refining, LP As of June 30, 2018 , public security holders held approximately 34% of CVR Refining's outstanding common units (including units owned by affiliates of IEP, representing approximately 3.9% of CVR Refining's outstanding common units), and CVR Refining Holdings, LLC (“CVR Refining Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 66% of CVR Refining's outstanding common units. In addition, CVR Refining Holdings owns 100% of CVR Refining's general partner, CVR Refining GP, LLC, which holds a non-economic general partner interest. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of CVR is impacted by the net income of, and distributions from, CVR Refining. On July 25, 2018 , the board of directors of CVR Refining's general partner declared a cash distribution for the second quarter of 2018 to CVR Refining's unitholders of $0.66 per common unit, or $97 million in aggregate. The cash distribution will be paid on August 13, 2018 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 6, 2018 . The Company will receive $64 million in respect of its CVR Refining common units. CVR Partners, LP As of June 30, 2018 , public security holders held approximately 66% of CVR Partner's outstanding common units, and Coffeyville Resources, LLC ("CRLLC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 34% of CVR Refining's outstanding common units. In addition, CRLLC owns 100% of CVR Partner's general partner, CVR GP, LLC, which holds a non-economic general partner interest. The noncontrolling interest reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of CVR is impacted by the net income of, and distributions from, CVR Partners. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018 the (the "2017 Form 10-K"). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Refining and CVR Partners, which are defined as variable interest entities. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the results of operations of the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the cash flows of the Company for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . Certain information has been reclassified to present historical information in a manner consistent with current presentation. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other interim or annual period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Revenue Standard On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The standard was applied prospectively and the comparative information for 2017 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period. The Company did not identify any material differences in its existing revenue recognition methods that require modification under the new standard and, as such, a cumulative effect adjustment of applying the standard using the modified retrospective method was not recorded. Impact on Financial Statements The Company identified presentation changes associated with contracts requiring customer prepayment prior to delivery and the need to gross up certain fees collected from customers. Prior to adoption of ASC 606, deferred revenue was recorded by CVR Partners upon customer prepayment. Under the new revenue standard, a receivable and associated deferred revenue is recorded at the point in time in which a prepaid contract is legally enforceable and the associated right to consideration is unconditional. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a $21 million increase to deferred revenue and accounts receivable as of January 1, 2018. After the effect of adoption of the new revenue standard, deferred revenue and accounts receivable of CVR Partners were $34 million and $31 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, fees collected from certain customers were previously recorded as a reduction to cost of materials and other. The particular fee, the Oil Spill Liability Tax, relates to taxes imposed on refineries as part of the crude oil procurement process, is charged to certain of CVR Refining’s customers on product sales and is required under the new standard to be included in the transaction price. The impact of the change in presentation was an increase of $1 million to net sales and cost of materials and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . The following tables display the effect of the changes to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 for the adoption of ASC 606. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was not impacted due to the adoption of ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . June 30, 2018 Balance Sheet As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change (in millions) Assets Accounts Receivable $ 190 $ 180 $ 10 Liabilities Deferred Revenue $ 11 $ 1 $ 10 New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases ” (“ASU 2016-02”), creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 842, "Leases" , which supersedes lease requirements in FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases" . The new standard revises accounting for operating leases by a lessee, among other changes, and requires a lessee to recognize a liability related to future lease payments and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term in the balance sheet. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including disclosures regarding significant judgments made by management, will be required. The standard is effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, ASU 2016-02 will be applied using the modified retrospective application method and allows for certain practical expedients. The Company has begun its assessment and implementation plan for its planned adoption effective January 1, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the new lease standard to be material with respect to its balance sheet and further expect impacts to disclosures and changes in internal lease accounting processes.

The following tables include a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the Company's reportable segments.

(b) Other product sales primarily include crude oil, feedstocks and asphalt sales attributable to the petroleum segment and nitric acid and carbon dioxide sales attributable to the nitrogen fertilizer segment. Feedstocks are petroleum products, such as crude oil and natural gas liquids, that are processed and blended into refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, during the refining process. (c) Other revenue consists primarily of Cushing, OK storage tank lease revenue. Petroleum The petroleum segment’s revenue from product sales is recorded upon delivery of the products to customers, which is the point at which title is transferred and the customer has assumed the risk of loss. This generally takes place as product passes into the pipeline, as a product transfer order occurs within a pipeline system, or as product enters equipment or locations supplied or designated by the customer. The petroleum segment has elected to apply the sales tax practical expedient, whereby qualifying excise and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues. Many of the petroleum segment’s contracts have index-based pricing which is considered variable consideration that should be estimated in determining the transaction price. The petroleum segment determined that it does not need to estimate the variable consideration because the uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved on the pricing date or the date when the product is delivered. The petroleum segment may incur broker commissions or transportation costs prior to product transfer on some of its sales. The petroleum segment has elected to apply the practical expedient allowing it to expense the broker costs since the contract durations are less than a year in length. Transportation costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are expensed as incurred since they do not meet the requirement for capitalization. The petroleum segment’s contracts with its customers state the terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product sold. Depending on the product sold, payment from customers is generally due in full within 2 to 32 days of product delivery or invoice date. The petroleum segment’s contracts with customers commonly include a provision which states that the petroleum segment will accept customer returns of off-spec product, refund the customer (or provide on-spec product), and pay for damages to any customer equipment which resulted from the off-spec product. Typically, if the customer is not satisfied with the product, the price is adjusted downward instead of the product being returned or exchanged. The petroleum segment has determined that product returns or refunds are very rare and will account for them as they occur. The petroleum segment generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specification. Freight revenue recognized by the petroleum segment is primarily tariff and line loss charges rebilled to customers to reimburse the petroleum segment for expenses incurred from a pipeline operator. An offsetting expense is included in cost of materials and other. Nitrogen Fertilizer The nitrogen fertilizer segment sells its products on a wholesale basis under a contract or by purchase order. The nitrogen fertilizer segment's contracts with customers, including purchase orders, generally contain fixed pricing and most have terms of less than one year. The nitrogen fertilizer segment recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. The customer acceptance point is stated in the contract and may be at one of the nitrogen fertilizer segment’s manufacturing facilities, at one of the nitrogen fertilizer segment’s off-site loading facilities, or at the customer's designated facility. Freight revenue recognized by the nitrogen fertilizer segment represents the pass-through finished goods delivery costs incurred prior to customer acceptance and is reimbursed by customers. An offsetting expense is included in cost of materials and other. Qualifying taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues. Depending on the product sold and the type of contract, payments from customers are generally either due prior to delivery or within 15 to 30 days of product delivery. The nitrogen fertilizer segment generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specifications. Product returns are rare, and as such, the nitrogen fertilizer segment does not record a specific warranty reserve or consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. The nitrogen fertilizer segment has an immaterial amount of variable consideration for contracts with an original duration of less than a year. A small portion of the nitrogen fertilizer partnership's revenue includes contracts extending beyond one year, some of which contain variable pricing in which the majority of the variability is attributed to the market-based pricing. The nitrogen fertilizer segment's contracts do not contain a significant financing component. The nitrogen fertilizer segment has certain fee-based revenue, included in other revenue in the table above, that is recognized based on the net amount of the proceeds received, consistent with prior accounting practice. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations As of June 30, 2018 , CVR Partners had approximately $13 million of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year. CVR Partners expects to recognize approximately 56% of these performance obligations as revenue by the end of 2019, an additional 22% by 2020 and the remaining balance thereafter. CVR Partners has elected to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year. CVR Partners has elected to not disclose variable consideration allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations that are based on market prices that have not yet been determined. Contract balances The CVR Partners' deferred revenue is a contract liability that primarily relates to fertilizer sales contracts requiring customer prepayment prior to product delivery to guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer. Deferred revenue is recorded at the point in time in which a prepaid contract is legally enforceable and the associated right to consideration is unconditional prior to transferring product to the customer. An associated receivable is recorded for uncollected prepaid contract amounts. Contracts requiring prepayment are generally short-term in nature and, as discussed above, revenue is recognized at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product. A summary of CVR Partners' deferred revenue activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is presented below: Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 34 Add: New prepay contracts entered into during the period 14 Less: Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period 32 Revenue recognized related to contracts entered into during the period 5 Other changes — Balance at June 30, 2018 $ 11

The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but we accrue liabilities for these matters if we have determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, if one or more of them were decided against us, we believe there would be no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Crude Oil Supply Agreement On August 31, 2012, Coffeyville Resources Refining and Marketing, LLC ("CRRM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Refining, and Vitol Inc. ("Vitol") entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the "Vitol Agreement"). Under the Vitol Agreement, Vitol supplies the petroleum business with crude oil and intermediation logistics, which helps to reduce CVR Refining's inventory position and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. The Vitol Agreement will automatically renew for successive one -year terms (each such term, a "Renewal Term") unless either party provides the other with notice of nonrenewal at least 180 days prior to the expiration of any Renewal Term. The Vitol Agreement currently extends through December 31, 2019. Renewable Fuel Standards CVR Refining is subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") of the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), which requires refiners to either blend "renewable fuels" in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as renewable identification numbers ("RINs"), in lieu of blending. Due to mandates in the RFS requiring increasing volumes of renewable fuels to replace petroleum products in the U.S. transportation fuel market, there may be a decrease in demand for petroleum products. CVR Refining is not able to blend the substantial majority of its transportation fuels and has to purchase RINs on the open market, as well as waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels from the EPA, in order to comply with the RFS. The price of RINs has been extremely volatile over the last year. The cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels, the mix of the petroleum business' petroleum products, as well as the fuel blending performed at its refineries and downstream terminals, all of which can vary significantly from period to period. The net cost of RINs for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $50 million and $106 million , respectively. The net cost of RINs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $27 million and $99 million , respectively. The net costs of RINs was a reduction to cost of materials and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. RINs expense includes the purchased cost of RINs, the impact of recognizing CVR Refining's uncommitted biofuel blending obligation at fair value based on market prices at each reporting date and is reduced by the valuation change of RINs purchases in excess of CVR Refining's RFS obligation as of the reporting date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the net cost of RINs was favorably impacted by a reduction in CVR Refining's RFS obligation and reduced market pricing. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , CVR Refining's biofuel blending obligation was approximately $16 million and $28 million , respectively, which was recorded in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. CVR Refining recorded a RINs asset within prepaid and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $14 million , representing excess RINs primarily due to a reduction in its RFS obligation during the first quarter of 2018. Litigation The U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York contacted CVR Energy in September 2017 seeking production of information pertaining to CVR Refining's, CVR Energy's and Mr. Carl C. Icahn's activities relating to the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") and Mr. Icahn's role as an advisor to the President. CVR Energy is cooperating with the request and is providing information in response to the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney's office has not made any claims or allegations against CVR Energy or Mr. Icahn. CVR Energy maintains a strong compliance program and, while no assurances can be made, CVR Energy does not believe this inquiry will have a material impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Affiliate Pension Obligations Mr. Carl C. Icahn, through certain affiliates, owns approximately 82% of the Company's capital stock. Applicable pension and tax laws make each member of a "controlled group" of entities, generally defined as entities in which there is at least an 80% common ownership interest, jointly and severally liable for certain pension plan obligations of any member of the controlled group. These pension obligations include ongoing contributions to fund the plan, as well as liability for any unfunded liabilities that may exist at the time the plan is terminated. In addition, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") against the assets of each member of the controlled group. As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in CVR Energy by Mr. Icahn's affiliates, the Company is subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80% . Two such entities, ACF Industries LLC ("ACF") and Federal-Mogul, are the sponsors of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, for these plans have been met as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . If the ACF and Federal-Mogul plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be collectively underfunded by approximately $435 million and $424 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. These results are based on the most recent information provided by Mr. Icahn's affiliates based on information from the plans' actuaries. These liabilities could increase or decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, CVR Energy would be liable for any failure of ACF and Federal-Mogul to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of their respective pension plans. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group that includes CVR Energy may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded, and the Company would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of such plans. The current underfunded status of the ACF and Federal-Mogul pension plans requires such entities to notify the PBGC of certain "reportable events," such as if CVR Energy were to cease to be a member of the controlled group, or if CVR Energy makes certain extraordinary dividends or stock redemptions. The obligation to report could cause the Company to seek to delay or reconsider the occurrence of such reportable events. Based on the contingent nature of potential exposure related to these affiliate pension obligations, no liability has been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	(10) Fair Value Measurements In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business. ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities) • Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value) The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : June 30, 2018 Location and Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Cash equivalents $ 50 $ — $ — $ 50 Other current assets (investments) — — — — Other current assets (commodity derivatives) — 1 — 1 Total Assets $ 50 $ 1 $ — $ 51 Other current liabilities (commodity derivatives) $ — $ (27 ) $ — $ (27 ) Other current liabilities (biofuel blending obligation) — (11 ) — (11 ) Total Liabilities $ — $ (38 ) $ — $ (38 ) December 31, 2017 Location and Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Cash equivalents $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Other current assets (investments) — — — — Total Assets $ 15 $ — $ — $ 15 Other current liabilities (commodity derivatives) $ — $ (64 ) $ — $ (64 ) Other long-term liabilities (biofuel blending obligation) — (1 ) — (1 ) Total Liabilities $ — $ (65 ) $ — $ (65 ) As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the only financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are the Company's cash equivalents, investments, derivative instruments and the uncommitted biofuel blending obligation. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's debt issuances is disclosed in Note 7 ("Long-Term Debt") . CVR Refining's commodity derivative contracts and the uncommitted biofuel blending obligation, which use fair value measurements and are valued using broker quoted market prices of similar instruments, are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company had no transfers of assets and liabilities between any of the above levels during the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	(11) Derivative Financial Instruments CVR Refining and CVR Partners are subject to price fluctuations caused by supply conditions, weather, economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors. To manage price risk on crude oil and other inventories and to fix margins on certain future production, CVR Refining from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions. CVR Refining does not apply hedge accounting with respect to derivative instruments held. Gains or losses related to the change in fair value and periodic settlements of these derivative instruments are classified as gain (loss) on derivatives, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. CVR Refining has adopted accounting standards which impose extensive record-keeping requirements in order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a hedge. CVR Refining holds derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil futures and certain over-the-counter forward swap agreements, which it believes provide an economic hedge on future transactions, but such instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP. There are no premiums paid or received at inception of the derivative contracts and upon settlement. CVR Refining enters into commodity swap contracts in order to fix the margin on a portion of future production. Additionally, CVR Refining may enter into price and basis swaps in order to fix the price on a portion of its commodity purchases and product sales. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. The contract fair value of the commodity swaps is reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value currently recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 2) are considered to determine the fair values for the purpose of marking to market the hedging instruments at each period end. A change of $1.00 per barrel in the fair value of the benchmark crude or product basis would result in an increase or decrease in the related fair value of the commodity instruments and forward purchase and sale commitments of $2 million .

Each of the counterparty agreements provides for the right to setoff each individual derivative position to arrive at the net receivable due from the counterparty or payable owed by CVR Refining. As a result of the right to setoff, CVR Refining's recognized assets and liabilities associated with the outstanding commodity swap derivative positions have been presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The tables below outline the gross amounts of the recognized assets and liabilities and the gross amounts offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the various types of open derivative positions at CVR Refining. The offsetting assets and liabilities for CVR Refining's derivatives as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are recorded as current assets and current liabilities in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: As of June 30, 2018 Description Gross Gross Net Cash Net (in millions) Commodity Derivatives $ 6 $ (5 ) $ 1 $ — $ 1 Total $ 6 $ (5 ) $ 1 $ — $ 1 As of June 30, 2018 Description Gross Current Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset Net Current Liabilities Presented Cash Collateral Not Offset Net Amount (in millions) Commodity Derivatives $ 32 $ (5 ) $ 27 $ — $ 27 Total $ 32 $ (5 ) $ 27 $ — $ 27 As of December 31, 2017 Description Gross Gross Net Cash Net (in millions) Commodity Derivatives $ 7 $ (7 ) $ — $ — $ — Total $ 7 $ (7 ) $ — $ — $ — As of December 31, 2017 Description Gross Current Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset Net Current Liabilities Presented Cash Collateral Not Offset Net Amount (in millions) Commodity Derivatives $ 71 $ (7 ) $ 64 $ — $ 64 Total $ 71 $ (7 ) $ 64 $ — $ 64

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	(13) Segments CVR Energy's revenues are derived from two operating segments: the petroleum segment and the nitrogen fertilizer segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on segment operating income and EBITDA. For the purposes of the operating segment disclosure, the company presents operating income as it is the most comparable measure to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The other segment reflects intercompany eliminations, corporate cash and cash equivalents, income tax activities and other corporate activities that are not allocated to the operating segments.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2018 the (the "2017 Form 10-K"). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Refining and CVR Partners, which are defined as variable interest entities. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the results of operations of the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the cash flows of the Company for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . Certain information has been reclassified to present historical information in a manner consistent with current presentation. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other interim or annual period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Adoption of New Revenue Standard On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The standard was applied prospectively and the comparative information for 2017 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period. The Company did not identify any material differences in its existing revenue recognition methods that require modification under the new standard and, as such, a cumulative effect adjustment of applying the standard using the modified retrospective method was not recorded. Impact on Financial Statements The Company identified presentation changes associated with contracts requiring customer prepayment prior to delivery and the need to gross up certain fees collected from customers. Prior to adoption of ASC 606, deferred revenue was recorded by CVR Partners upon customer prepayment. Under the new revenue standard, a receivable and associated deferred revenue is recorded at the point in time in which a prepaid contract is legally enforceable and the associated right to consideration is unconditional. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a $21 million increase to deferred revenue and accounts receivable as of January 1, 2018. After the effect of adoption of the new revenue standard, deferred revenue and accounts receivable of CVR Partners were $34 million and $31 million , respectively, as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, fees collected from certain customers were previously recorded as a reduction to cost of materials and other. The particular fee, the Oil Spill Liability Tax, relates to taxes imposed on refineries as part of the crude oil procurement process, is charged to certain of CVR Refining’s customers on product sales and is required under the new standard to be included in the transaction price. The impact of the change in presentation was an increase of $1 million to net sales and cost of materials and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . The following tables display the effect of the changes to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 for the adoption of ASC 606. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was not impacted due to the adoption of ASC 606 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . June 30, 2018 Balance Sheet As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change (in millions) Assets Accounts Receivable $ 190 $ 180 $ 10 Liabilities Deferred Revenue $ 11 $ 1 $ 10 New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “ Leases ” (“ASU 2016-02”), creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 842, "Leases" , which supersedes lease requirements in FASB ASC Topic 840, "Leases" . The new standard revises accounting for operating leases by a lessee, among other changes, and requires a lessee to recognize a liability related to future lease payments and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term in the balance sheet. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including disclosures regarding significant judgments made by management, will be required. The standard is effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. At adoption, ASU 2016-02 will be applied using the modified retrospective application method and allows for certain practical expedients. The Company has begun its assessment and implementation plan for its planned adoption effective January 1, 2019. The Company expects the impact of the new lease standard to be material with respect to its balance sheet and further expect impacts to disclosures and changes in internal lease accounting processes.
