Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Business	(1) Organization and Nature of Business 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 (the “ Petroleum Segment ” or “CVR Refining”) and CVR Partners, LP (the “ Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment ” or “CVR Partners”). CVR Refining is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia. 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.” Icahn Enterprises L.P. and its affiliates (“IEP”) owned approximately 71% of the Company’s outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2019 . CVR Refining, LP On January 17, 2019, the general partner of CVR Refining assigned to the Company its right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding CVR Refining common units not already owned by CVR Refining’s general partner or its affiliates. On January 29, 2019 , the Company purchased all remaining CVR Refining common units not already owned by the Company or its affiliates for a cash purchase price of $10.50 per unit (the “Call Price”), or approximately $241 million in the aggregate (the “Public Unit Purchase”). In conjunction with the exercise of its call right for all CVR Refining common units not already owned by the Company or its affiliates, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with American Entertainment Properties Corporation (“AEP”) and IEP, pursuant to which, on January 29, 2019, all of the Common Units held by AEP and IEP were purchased by the Company for a cash price per unit equal to the Call Price, or approximately $60 million in the aggregate (the “Affiliate Unit Purchase” together with the Public Unit Purchase, the “CVRR Unit Purchase”). The total purchase price of $301 million was funded with approximately $105 million in borrowings under a new credit agreement entered into by the Company on January 29, 2019, with the remaining amount being funded from the Company’s cash on hand. Amounts drawn under the new credit agreement were fully repaid in February 2019. See Note 7 (“Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Obligations”) for further information on the credit agreement. The consolidated results of operations and financial position of CVR Refining are reflected as CVR’s Petroleum Segment . Following this transaction, CVR Refining became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and therefore is no longer accounted for as a variable interest entity. Effective February 8, 2019, CVR Refining’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act were suspended. Upon the closing of the CVRR Unit Purchase, the Company, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, executed a full and unconditional guarantee of CVR Refining’s Senior Notes due 2022 (the “ 2022 Senior Notes ”). Pursuant to SEC regulations, the Company has elected to provide condensed consolidating financial statements in lieu of providing standalone CVR Refining financial statements. See Note 15 (“Guarantor Financial Information”) for further discussion and the condensed consolidated financial statements. CVR Partners, LP As of June 30, 2019 , public security holders held approximately 66% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units, and Coffeyville Resources, LLC (“CRLLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 34% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units. In addition, CRLLC owns 100% of CVR Partners’ 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	(2) 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”). Effective January 1, 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy method for the costs of planned major maintenance activities (turnarounds) specific to the Petroleum Segment from being expensed as incurred (the direct expensing method) to the deferral method. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect this accounting change. The impact of adopting the new policy to account for turnaround expenses is reflected within a Form 8-K dated June 12, 2019, which recast the December 31, 2018 audited information (the “Recast Form 8-K for 2018”). Refer to Note 3 (“Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes”) for additional information. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as well as the Recast Form 8-K for 2018. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Partners, which is defined as a variable interest entity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and the cash flows of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 to include gain (loss) on derivatives within the Cost of materials and other financial statement line item to conform 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, 2019 or any other interim or annual period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes	(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes Recent Accounting Pronouncement - Adoption of New Lease Standard In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “ Leases ” (“ASU 2016-02”), creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ Topic 842 ”) , 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 a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use of the underlying asset for the lease term on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The ROU asset for operating leases is classified as Other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The current and long-term operating lease liabilities are classified as Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities , respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The ROU asset for finance leases is classified as Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The current and long-term finance lease liabilities are classified as Other current liabilities and Long-term debt and finance lease obligations, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . We adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019, electing the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, we made the following elections: • Under the short-term lease exception provided for in Topic 842, only ROU assets and related lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year were and will be recognized; • The accounting treatment for existing land easements was carried forward; • Lease and non-lease components were and will not be bifurcated for all of the Company’s asset groups, respectively; and • The portfolio approach was and will be used in the selection of the discount rate used to calculate minimum lease payments and the related ROU asset and operating lease liability amounts. The Company’s adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $56 million as of January 1, 2019, in addition to the recognition of a finance lease asset of $26 million with an obligation of $23 million . There were no impacts to our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows . See Note 6 (“Leases”) for further discussion. Accounting Change - Turnaround Expenses Effective January 1, 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy method for the costs of planned major maintenance activities (turnarounds) specific to the Petroleum Segment from being expensed as incurred (the direct expensing method) to the deferral method. Turnarounds are planned shutdowns of refinery processing units for significant overhaul and refurbishment. Under the deferral method, the costs of turnarounds are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a four -year period of time, which represents the estimated time until the next turnaround occurs. The new method of accounting for turnarounds is considered preferable as it is more consistent with the accounting policy of our peer companies and better reflects the economic substance of the benefits earned from turnaround expenditures. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 , the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been retrospectively adjusted to apply the new method. These turnaround costs, and related accumulated amortization, are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as Other long-term assets . The amortization expense related to turnaround costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statement of operations . The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment will continue to follow the direct expensing method, therefore this change had no impact on the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment ’s current condensed consolidated financial statements . The policy change for turnaround expenses retrospectively impacted the Company’s December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet by increasing total assets by $93 million and total equity by $75 million . The adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 incrementally impacted the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The following presents the financial statement line items impacted by the turnaround accounting change and the Company’s Topic 842 adoption as of the respective dates. Effect of Topic 842 Adoption on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in millions) December 31, 2018 As Stated (1) Effect of Adoption of Topic 842 - Leases (Unaudited) January 1, 2019 As Adjusted Current assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 72 $ (3 ) (2) $ 69 Total currents assets 1,293 (3 ) 1,290 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation 2,430 26 (3) 2,456 Other long-term assets 277 56 (4) 333 Total assets $ 4,000 $ 79 $ 4,079 Current liabilities: Other current liabilities $ 176 $ 16 (5) $ 192 Total current liabilities 496 16 512 Long-term debt and finance lease obligations 1,167 23 (3) 1,190 Other long-term liabilities 14 40 (5) 54 Total long-term liabilities 1,561 63 1,624 Equity: Total liabilities and equity $ 4,000 $ 79 $ 4,079 (1) Represents the retrospectively adjusted balance sheet amounts upon reflection of the turnaround accounting change, for which the Recast Form 8-K for 2018 was filed on June 12, 2019, prior to the adoption of Topic 842. (2) Represents lease prepayments reclassified to ROU assets. (3) The additional $26 million right-of-use asset and $23 million in lease liability represents a lease with a third-party that met the definition of a finance lease under ASC 842 as compared to an operating lease under ASC 840. (4) Represents recognition of initial ROU assets for operating leases, including the reclassification of certain lease prepayments as noted above. (5) Represents the initial recognition of lease liabilities. Due to the retrospective adjustments for the turnaround accounting change, the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 condensed consolidated statement of operations and the six months ended June 30, 2018 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been recast. The impacts to previously reported amounts are shown below only for those line items impacted.

The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not currently expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU addresses customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but does not currently expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	(6) Leases Lease Overview We lease certain pipelines, storage tanks, railcars, office space, land, and equipment across our refining, fertilizer and corporate operations. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for factors such as inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, we do not have any material lessor or sub-leasing arrangements.

(2) Other revenue consists primarily of feedstock and asphalt sales and Cushing, OK storage tank lease revenue. See Note 5 (“Property, Plant and Equipment”) for further discussion on the Cushing, OK storage tanks. Petroleum Segment 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 and refund the customer (or provide on-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 Segment 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 for freight 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 Segment ’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 an immaterial amount of 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, 2019 , CVR Partners had approximately $8 million of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year. CVR Partners expects to recognize approximately 29% of these performance obligations as revenue by the end of 2019, an additional 36% by 2020 and the remaining balance thereafter. Contract balances The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment ’s 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. At June 30, 2019 , $7 million of the deferred revenue balance pertained to prepaid contracts where the associated receivable was recognized as it had not yet been collected by the Partnership. A summary of CVR Partners’ deferred revenue activity during the six months ended June 30, 2019 is presented below: (in millions) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 69 Add: New prepay contracts entered into during the period 16 Less: Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period 68 Revenue recognized related to contracts entered into during the period 8 Balance at June 30, 2019 $ 9

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	(9) Derivative Financial Instruments Our segments 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, the Petroleum Segment from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions. The Petroleum Segment 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 or upon settlement. The Petroleum Segment may enter into forward purchase or sale contracts associated with renewable identification numbers (“RINs”). As of June 30, 2019 , the Petroleum Segment had open commitments to purchase 34 million RINs. Commodity derivatives include commodity swaps and forward purchase and sale commitments. There were no outstanding commodity swap positions as of June 30, 2019 .

These amounts are recognized as current assets and current liabilities within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities financial statement line items, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows: Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities (in millions) June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Commodity Derivatives $ 3 $ 8 $ 1 $ 1 Less: Counterparty Netting (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) Total Net Fair Value of Derivatives $ 2 $ 7 $ — $ — 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 table sets forth the assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : June 30, 2019 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and Description Prepaid expenses and other current assets (investments) $ — $ 3 $ — $ 3 Total Assets — 3 — 3 Other current liabilities (Renewable Fuel Standard “RFS” obligation) — (16 ) — (16 ) Total Liabilities $ — $ (16 ) $ — $ (16 ) December 31, 2018 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Location and Description Prepaid expenses and other current assets (investments) — 7 — 7 Total Assets $ — $ 7 $ — $ 7 Other current liabilities (RFS obligation) — (2 ) — (2 ) Total Liabilities $ — $ (2 ) $ — $ (2 ) As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 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 RFS obligation. The Petroleum Segment ’s commodity derivative contracts and RFS 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 or liabilities between any of the above levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(11) Commitments and Contingencies Except as described below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s commitments and contingencies disclosed in the 2018 Form 10-K, the Recast Form 8-K for 2018 , or Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory, and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Company accrues liabilities for these matters if the Company has 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, the Company believes there would be no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Crude Oil Supply Agreement On August 31, 2012, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Petroleum Segment and Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”) entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the “Crude Oil Supply Agreement”). Under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, Vitol supplies the Petroleum Segment with crude oil and intermediation logistics helping to reduce the amount of inventory held at a certain point and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. Volumes contracted under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement, as a percentage of the total crude oil purchases (in barrels), was approximately 40% and 44% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and 40% and 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Crude Oil Supply Agreement automatically renews 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 expiration of any Renewal Term. Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) The Petroleum Segment is subject to the RFS of the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that require 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. The Petroleum Segment is not able to blend the substantial majority of its transportation fuels and has to purchase RINs on the open market, as well as obtain waiver credits for cellulosic biofuels from the EPA in order to comply with the RFS. The Company recognized expense of approximately $21 million and $50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, for the Petroleum Segment ‘s compliance with RFS. The Company recognized expense of approximately $33 million and $27 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, for the Petroleum Segment ‘s compliance with RFS. The expense recognized was included within Cost of materials and other in the condensed consolidated statements of operations . The Company’s costs to comply with the RFS include the purchased cost of RINs, the impact of recognizing the Petroleum Segment ‘s uncommitted biofuel blending obligation at fair value based on market prices at each reporting date, and the valuation change of RINs purchases in excess of its RFS obligation as of the reporting date. 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 RFS and Mr. Icahn’s former role as an advisor to the President. We cooperated with the request and provided information in response to the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney’s office has not made any claims or allegations against us or Mr. Icahn. We maintain a strong compliance program and, while no assurances can be made, we do not believe this inquiry will have a material impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In 2008, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizer LLC (“CRNF”), a subsidiary of CVR Partners LP, protested the reclassification and reassessment by Montgomery County, Kansas (the “County”) of CRNF’s nitrogen fertilizer plant following expiration of its ten year property tax abatement that expired on December 31, 2007, which reclassification and reassessment resulted in an increase in CRNF’s annual property tax expense in excess of $10 million per year for the 2008 through 2012 tax years. Despite its protest, CRNF fully accrued and paid these property taxes. In February 2013, the County and CRNF agreed to a settlement for tax years 2009 through 2012 which resulted in decreased property taxes through 2017, leaving 2008 in dispute. In 2013, the Kansas Court of Appeals overturned an adverse ruling of the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals (“BOTA”) and instructed BOTA to classify each CRNF asset on an asset-by-asset basis. In March 2015, BOTA concluded its classification and determined a substantial majority of CRNF’s assets in dispute were personal property for the 2008 tax year. In September 2018, the Kansas Court of Appeals upheld BOTA’s property tax determinations in CRNF’s favor. In October 2018, the County petitioned the Kansas Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals determination. Subsequent briefs were filed by CRNF and the County. In April 2019, CRNF and the County executed an agreement under which the County agreed to withdraw its petition to the Kansas Supreme Court and CRNF is expected to recover $7.9 million through favorable property tax assessments from 2019 through 2028, subject to the terms of the settlement agreement. During 2019, CVR Energy, CVR Refining, CVR Refining Holdings, IEP, and certain directors and affiliates have been named in nine lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Chancery Court”) by purported former unitholders of CVR Refining, on behalf of themselves and an alleged class of similarly situated unitholders (the “Call Option Lawsuits”). The Call Option Lawsuits primarily allege breach of contract, tortious interference and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and seek monetary damages and attorneys’ fees, among other remedies, relating to the Company’s exercise of the call option under the CVR Refining Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership assigned to it by CVR Refining’s general partner. The Call Option Lawsuits have been consolidated in Chancery Court and are in the early stages of litigation. The Company believes the Call Option Lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

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”). Effective January 1, 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy method for the costs of planned major maintenance activities (turnarounds) specific to the Petroleum Segment from being expensed as incurred (the direct expensing method) to the deferral method. Comparable prior period information has been recast to reflect this accounting change. The impact of adopting the new policy to account for turnaround expenses is reflected within a Form 8-K dated June 12, 2019, which recast the December 31, 2018 audited information (the “Recast Form 8-K for 2018”). Refer to Note 3 (“Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes”) for additional information. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in CVR Energy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 as well as the Recast Form 8-K for 2018. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of CVR Partners, which is defined as a variable interest entity. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and the cash flows of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 to include gain (loss) on derivatives within the Cost of materials and other financial statement line item to conform 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, 2019 or any other interim or annual period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Accounting Changes	Recent Accounting Pronouncement - Adoption of New Lease Standard In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “ Leases ” (“ASU 2016-02”), creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ Topic 842 ”) , 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 a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use of the underlying asset for the lease term on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The ROU asset for operating leases is classified as Other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The current and long-term operating lease liabilities are classified as Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities , respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The ROU asset for finance leases is classified as Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . The current and long-term finance lease liabilities are classified as Other current liabilities and Long-term debt and finance lease obligations, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet . We adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019, electing the option to apply the transition provisions at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, we made the following elections: • Under the short-term lease exception provided for in Topic 842, only ROU assets and related lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year were and will be recognized; • The accounting treatment for existing land easements was carried forward; • Lease and non-lease components were and will not be bifurcated for all of the Company’s asset groups, respectively; and • The portfolio approach was and will be used in the selection of the discount rate used to calculate minimum lease payments and the related ROU asset and operating lease liability amounts. The Company’s adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of additional ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $56 million as of January 1, 2019, in addition to the recognition of a finance lease asset of $26 million with an obligation of $23 million . There were no impacts to our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows . See Note 6 (“Leases”) for further discussion. Accounting Change - Turnaround Expenses Effective January 1, 2019, the Company revised its accounting policy method for the costs of planned major maintenance activities (turnarounds) specific to the Petroleum Segment from being expensed as incurred (the direct expensing method) to the deferral method. Turnarounds are planned shutdowns of refinery processing units for significant overhaul and refurbishment. Under the deferral method, the costs of turnarounds are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a four -year period of time, which represents the estimated time until the next turnaround occurs. The new method of accounting for turnarounds is considered preferable as it is more consistent with the accounting policy of our peer companies and better reflects the economic substance of the benefits earned from turnaround expenditures. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 , the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been retrospectively adjusted to apply the new method. These turnaround costs, and related accumulated amortization, are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as Other long-term assets . The amortization expense related to turnaround costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statement of operations . The Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment will continue to follow the direct expensing method, therefore this change had no impact on the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment ’s current condensed consolidated financial statements . The policy change for turnaround expenses retrospectively impacted the Company’s December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet by increasing total assets by $93 million and total equity by $75 million . The adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 incrementally impacted the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The following presents the financial statement line items impacted by the turnaround accounting change and the Company’s Topic 842 adoption as of the respective dates. Effect of Topic 842 Adoption on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in millions) December 31, 2018 As Stated (1) Effect of Adoption of Topic 842 - Leases (Unaudited) January 1, 2019 As Adjusted Current assets: Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 72 $ (3 ) (2) $ 69 Total currents assets 1,293 (3 ) 1,290 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation 2,430 26 (3) 2,456 Other long-term assets 277 56 (4) 333 Total assets $ 4,000 $ 79 $ 4,079 Current liabilities: Other current liabilities $ 176 $ 16 (5) $ 192 Total current liabilities 496 16 512 Long-term debt and finance lease obligations 1,167 23 (3) 1,190 Other long-term liabilities 14 40 (5) 54 Total long-term liabilities 1,561 63 1,624 Equity: Total liabilities and equity $ 4,000 $ 79 $ 4,079 (1) Represents the retrospectively adjusted balance sheet amounts upon reflection of the turnaround accounting change, for which the Recast Form 8-K for 2018 was filed on June 12, 2019, prior to the adoption of Topic 842.

(3) The additional $26 million right-of-use asset and $23 million in lease liability represents a lease with a third-party that met the definition of a finance lease under ASC 842 as compared to an operating lease under ASC 840. (4) Represents recognition of initial ROU assets for operating leases, including the reclassification of certain lease prepayments as noted above. (5) Represents the initial recognition of lease liabilities. Due to the retrospective adjustments for the turnaround accounting change, the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 condensed consolidated statement of operations and the six months ended June 30, 2018 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been recast. The impacts to previously reported amounts are shown below only for those line items impacted.

The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain disclosures are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not currently expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU addresses customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but does not currently expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
