Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Southwestern Energy Company (including its subsidiaries, collectively “Southwestern” or the “Company”) is an independent energy company engaged in natural gas, oil and NGLs development, exploration and production (“E&P”). The Company is also focused on creating and capturing additional value through its marketing business (“Marketing”). Southwestern conducts most of its business through subsidiaries and operates principally in two segments: E&P and Marketing. E&P. Southwestern’s primary business is the development and production of natural gas as well as associated NGLs and oil, with ongoing operations focused on the development of unconventional natural gas and oil reservoirs located in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Louisiana. The Company’s operations in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, herein referred to as “Appalachia,” are primarily focused on the Marcellus Shale, the Utica and the Upper Devonian unconventional natural gas and liquids reservoirs. The Company’s operations in Louisiana, herein referred to as “Haynesville,” are primarily focused on the Haynesville and Bossier natural gas reservoirs (“Haynesville and Bossier Shales”). The Company also operates drilling rigs and provides certain oilfield products and services, principally serving the Company's E&P operations through vertical integration. Marketing. Southwestern’s marketing activities capture opportunities that arise through the marketing and transportation of natural gas, oil and NGLs primarily produced in its E&P operations. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. The comparability of certain 2022 amounts to prior periods could be impacted as a result of the Montage Merger (as defined below) completed on November 13, 2020, the Indigo Merger (as defined below) completed on September 1, 2021, and the GEPH Merger (as defined below) on December 31, 2021. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwestern and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In 2015, the Company purchased an 86% ownership in a limited partnership that owns and operates a gathering system in Appalachia. Because the Company owns a controlling interest in the partnership, the operating and financial results are consolidated with the Company’s E&P segment results. The minority partner’s share of the partnership activity is reported in retained earnings in the consolidated financial statements. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was insignificant. Major Customers The Company sells the vast majority of its E&P natural gas, oil and NGL production to third-party customers through its marketing subsidiary. Customers include major energy companies, utilities and industrial purchasers of natural gas. For the year ended December 31, 2022 one purchaser accounted for 17% of annual revenues. A default on this account could have a material impact on the Company, but the Company does not believe that there is a material risk of a default. For the year ended December 31, 2021, one purchaser accounted for 12% of annual revenues. No other purchasers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The Company believes that the loss of any one customer would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its natural gas, oil and NGL production. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined by the Company as short-term, highly liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less and deposits in money market mutual funds that are readily convertible into cash. Management considers cash and cash equivalents to have minimal credit and market risk as the Company monitors the credit status of the financial institutions holding its cash and marketable securities. The Company had $50 million and $28 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Certain of the Company’s cash accounts are zero-balance controlled disbursement accounts. The Company presents the outstanding checks written against these zero-balance accounts as a component of accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Outstanding checks included as a component of accounts payable totaled $100 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Property, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Natural Gas and Oil Properties . The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for costs related to the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties. The following table shows the capitalized costs of natural gas and oil properties and the related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in millions) 2022 2021 Proved properties $ 33,546 $ 31,400 Unproved properties 2,217 2,231 Total capitalized costs 35,763 33,631 Less: Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (25,033) (23,884) Net capitalized costs $ 10,730 $ 9,747 Under the full cost method of accounting, all such costs (productive and nonproductive), including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly attributable to these activities, are capitalized on a country-by-country basis and amortized over the estimated lives of the properties using the units-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test that limits such pooled costs, net of applicable deferred taxes, to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved natural gas, oil and NGL reserves discounted at 10% (standardized measure). Any costs in excess of the ceiling are written off as a non-cash expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher natural gas, oil and NGL prices may subsequently increase the ceiling. Companies using the full cost method are required to use the average quoted price from the first day of each month from the previous 12 months, including the impact of derivatives designated for hedge accounting, to calculate the ceiling value of their reserves. Prices used to calculate the ceiling value of reserves were as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Natural gas (per MMBtu) $ 6.36 $ 3.60 $ 1.98 Oil (per Bbl) $ 93.67 $ 66.56 $ 39.57 NGLs (per Bbl) $ 34.35 $ 28.65 $ 10.27 Using the average quoted prices above, adjusted for market differentials, the net book value of the Company’s United States natural gas and oil properties did not exceed the ceiling amount at December 31, 2022 or 2021. The net book value of its natural gas and oil properties exceeded the ceiling amount in each quarter of 2020 resulting in a total non-cash full cost ceiling test impairment of $2,825 million. The Company had no derivative positions that were designated for hedge accounting as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Future decreases in market prices, as well as changes in production rates, levels of reserves, evaluation costs excluded from amortization, future development costs and production costs may result in future non-cash impairments to the Company’s natural gas and oil properties. No impairment expense was recorded in 2022, 2021 or 2020 in relation to the Company’s natural gas and oil properties acquired from Montage. These properties were recorded at fair value as of November 13, 2020, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement . In the fourth quarter of 2020, pursuant to SEC guidance, the Company determined that the fair value of the properties acquired at the closing of the Montage Merger clearly exceeded the related full-cost ceiling limitation beyond a reasonable doubt and received a waiver from the SEC to exclude the properties acquired in the Montage Merger from the ceiling test calculation. This waiver was granted for all reporting periods through and including the quarter ending September 30, 2021, as long as the Company could continue to demonstrate that the fair value of properties acquired clearly exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation beyond a reasonable doubt in each reporting period. As part of the waiver received from the SEC, the Company was required to disclose what the full cost ceiling test impairment amounts for all periods presented in each applicable quarterly and annual filing would have been if the waiver had not been granted. The fair value of the properties acquired in the Montage Merger was based on future commodity market pricing for natural gas and oil pricing existing at the date of the Montage Merger, and management affirmed that there has not been a material decline to the fair value of these acquired assets since the Montage Merger. The properties acquired in the Montage Merger had an unamortized cost at December 31, 2020 of $1,087 million. Had management not received the waiver from the SEC, the impairment charge recorded would have been an additional $539 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Due to the improvement in commodity prices during 2021, no impairment charge would have been recorded in 2021 even when including the Montage natural gas and oil properties in the full cost ceiling test. Costs associated with unevaluated properties are excluded from the amortization base until the properties are evaluated or impairment is indicated. The costs associated with unevaluated leasehold acreage and related seismic data, wells currently drilling and related capitalized interest are initially excluded from the amortization base. Leasehold costs are either transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling a well on the lease or are assessed at least annually for possible impairment or reduction in value. The Company’s decision to withhold costs from amortization and the timing of the transfer of those costs into the amortization base involves judgment and may be subject to changes over time based on several factors, including drilling plans, availability of capital, project economics and drilling results from adjacent acreage. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a total of $2,217 million of costs excluded from the amortization base, all of which related to its properties in the United States. Natural gas and oil properties not subject to amortization represent investments in unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns an interest. These unproved property costs include unevaluated costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and unevaluated costs associated with wells in progress. The table below sets forth the composition of net unevaluated costs excluded from amortization as of December 31, 2022: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Prior Total Property acquisition costs $ 86 $ 764 $ 71 $ 973 $ 1,894 Exploration and development costs 12 11 8 14 45 Capitalized interest 118 75 48 37 278 $ 216 $ 850 $ 127 $ 1,024 $ 2,217 Of the total net unevaluated costs excluded from amortization as of December 31, 2022, approximately $1.1 billion is related to undeveloped properties in Appalachia which were acquired in 2014 and 2015, $111 million is related to Montage properties acquired in November 2020 and approximately $778 million is related to the acquisition of undeveloped properties in Haynesville which were acquired in September 2021 and December 2021. Additionally, the Company has approximately $278 million of unevaluated capitalized interest. The Company has $46 million of unevaluated costs related to wells in progress (included within the Appalachia, Montage and Haynesville amounts above). The remaining costs excluded from amortization are related to properties which are not individually significant and on which the evaluation process has not been completed. The timing and amount of property acquisition and seismic costs included in the amortization computation will depend on the location and timing of drilling wells, results of drilling and other assessments. The Company is, therefore, unable to estimate when these costs will be included in the amortization computation. Capitalized Interest . Interest is capitalized on the cost of unevaluated natural gas and oil properties that are excluded from amortization. Asset Retirement Obligations . Natural gas and oil properties require expenditures to plug and abandon the wells and reclaim the associated pads and other supporting infrastructure when the wells are no longer producing. An asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset such as oil and gas properties is recognized as a liability in the period incurred or when it becomes determinable, with an associated increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. The asset retirement obligation is recorded at its estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Other Property and Equipment. The Company’s non-full cost pool assets include water facilities, gathering systems, technology infrastructure, land, buildings and other equipment with useful lives that range from 3 to 30 years. The estimated useful lives of those assets depreciated under the straight-line method are as follows: Water facilities 5 – 10 years Gathering systems 15 – 25 years Technology infrastructure 3 – 7 years Drilling rigs and equipment 3 years Buildings and leasehold improvements 10 – 30 years Other property, plant and equipment is comprised of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Water facilities $ 238 $ 237 Gathering systems 56 56 Technology infrastructure 135 135 Drilling rigs and equipment 31 28 Land, buildings and leasehold improvements 16 16 Other 51 37 Less: Accumulated depreciation and impairment (354) (318) Total $ 173 $ 191 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . The carrying value of non-full cost pool long-lived assets is evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured as the amount that the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The company did not recognize an impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 and recognized impairments of $6 million and $5 million related to non-core assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Intangible Assets . The carrying value of intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $43 million and $48 million, respectively, in marketing-related intangible assets, of which $38 million and $43 million were included in Other long-term assets on the respective consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortized $5 million of its marketing-related intangible asset in 2022, $8 million in 2021 and $9 million in 2020. The Company expects to amortize $5 million in 2023 and in each of the four years thereafter. Leases The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception or as a result of an acquisition. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet at commencement at an amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate of the lease is not always readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments based on information available at commencement date, such as the initial lease term. Operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not have any finance leases as of December 31, 2022. By policy election, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis, and variable lease payments are recognized in the period as incurred. Certain leases contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company has chosen to account for most of these leases as a single lease component instead of bifurcating lease and non-lease components. However, for compression service leases and fleet vehicle leases, the lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. The Company leases drilling rigs, pressure pumping equipment, vehicles, office space, certain water transportation lines and other equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2036. Certain lease agreements include options to renew the lease, early terminate the lease or purchase the underlying asset(s). The Company determines the lease term at the lease commencement date as the non-cancelable period of the lease, including options to extend or terminate the lease when such an option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s water transportation lines are the only leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. These renewal options are reflected in the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rate expected to be in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize the income tax effect of reporting certain transactions in different years for income tax and financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxes line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additional information regarding uncertain tax positions can be found in Note 11 . Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage defined commodity price risks and does not use them for speculative trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments to financially protect sales of natural gas, oil and NGLs. In addition, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage exposure to unfavorable interest rate changes. Since the Company does not designate its derivatives for hedge accounting treatment, gains and losses resulting from the settlement of derivative contracts have been recognized in gain (loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations when the contracts expire and the related physical transactions of the underlying commodity are settled. Additionally, changes in the fair value of the unsettled portion of derivative contracts are also recognized in gain (loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 6 and Note 8 for a discussion of the Company’s hedging activities. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reportable period. The diluted earnings per share calculation adds to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding: the incremental shares that would have been outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options, the vesting of unvested restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units and performance units. An antidilutive impact is an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities. In 2022, in connection with our share repurchase program, we repurchased approximately 17,261,469 shares at an average price of $7.24 per share for a total cost of approximately $125 million. On December 31, 2021, the Company issued 99,337,748 shares of its common stock in conjunction with the GEPH Merger. These shares of the Company’s common stock had an aggregate dollar value equal to approximately $463 million, based on the closing price of $4.66 per share of its common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2021. See Note 2 for additional details on the GEPH Merger. In September 2021, the Company issued 337,827,171 shares of its common stock in conjunction with the Indigo Merger. These shares of the Company’s common stock had an aggregate dollar value equal to approximately $1,588 million, based on the closing price of $4.70 per share of its common stock on the NYSE on September 1, 2021. See Note 2 for additional details on the Indigo Merger. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Montage shareholders received 1.8656 shares of Southwestern common stock for each share of Montage common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date of Montage Merger. On November 13, 2020, the Company issued 69,740,848 shares of its common stock, or approximately $213 million in value (based on Southwestern common stock closing price as of November 13, 2020 of $3.05), as consideration. See Note 2 for additional details on the Montage Merger. In August 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 63,250,000 shares of its common stock with an offering price to the public of $2.50 per share. Net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $152 million. See Note 2 for additional details regarding the Company's use of proceeds from the equity offering. The following table presents the computation of earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: For the years ended December 31, (in millions, except share/per share amounts) 2022 2021 2020 Net income (loss) $ 1,849 $ (25) $ (3,112) Number of common shares: Weighted average outstanding 1,110,564,839 789,657,776 573,889,502 Issued upon assumed exercise of outstanding stock options — — — Effect of issuance of non-vested restricted common stock 763,067 — — Effect of issuance of non-vested restricted units 1,500,815 — — Effect of issuance of non-vested performance units 355,533 — — Weighted average and potential dilutive outstanding 1,113,184,254 789,657,776 573,889,502 Earnings (loss) per common share: Basic $ 1.67 $ (0.03) $ (5.42) Diluted $ 1.66 $ (0.03) $ (5.42) The following table presents the common stock shares equivalent excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as they would have had an antidilutive effect: For the years ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Unexercised stock options 2,265,589 3,683,363 4,427,040 Unvested share-based payment 53,924 832,989 962,662 Restricted units 192,515 2,226,981 4,452,876 Performance units — 2,194,477 2,818,653 Total 2,512,028 8,937,810 12,661,231 Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information The following table provides additional information concerning interest and income taxes paid as well as changes in noncash investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: For the years ended December 31, (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Cash paid during the year for interest, net of amounts capitalized $ 161 $ 106 $ 75 Cash paid (received) during the year for income taxes 41 — (1) (32) Non-cash investing activities 94 3,690 (2) 1,084 (3) Non-cash financing activities — 2,051 (4) 213 (5) (1) Cash received in 2021 for income taxes was immaterial.

(4) Includes $1,588 million and $463 million in common stock consideration related to the Indigo Merger and the GEPH Merger, respectively. (5) Common stock consideration related to the Montage Merger. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation transactions using a fair value method and recognizes an amount equal to the fair value of the stock options and stock-based payment cost in either the consolidated statement of operations or capitalizes the cost into natural gas and oil properties included in property and equipment. Costs are capitalized when they are directly related to the acquisition, exploration and development activities of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties. See Note 14 for a discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation. Liability-Classified Awards The Company classifies certain awards that can or will be settled in cash as liability awards. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense, operating expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the award. The Company’s liability-classified performance unit awards that were granted in 2019 include a performance condition based on the return of average capital employed, and two market conditions, one based on absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) and the other on relative TSR as compared to a group of the Company’s peers. The liability-based performance unit awards granted in 2020 include a performance condition based on return on average capital employed and a market condition based on relative TSR. In 2021, two types of performance unit awards were granted. One type of award includes a performance condition based on return on capital employed and a performance condition based on a reinvestment rate, and the second type of award includes one market condition based on relative TSR. In 2022, two types of performance units were granted. One type of award includes performance conditions based on return on capital employed and reinvestment rate. The other 2022 awards were accounted for as equity classified awards. The fair values of the market conditions discussed above are calculated by Monte Carlo models on a quarterly basis. See Note 14 for a discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation. Cash-Based Compensation The Company classifies certain awards that will be settled in cash as cash-based compensation. The Company recognizes the cost of these awards as general and administrative expense, operating expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the awards. The performance cash awards include a performance condition determined annually by the Company. If the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the threshold was not met, the amount for that vesting period will not vest and will be cancelled. Treasury Stock In 2022, the Company repurchased 17,261,469 shares of its outstanding common stock per a previously announced share repurchase program at an average price of $7.24 per share for approximately $125 million. The Company maintains a frozen legacy non-qualified deferred compensation supplemental retirement savings plan for certain key employees whereby participants could elect to defer and contribute a portion of their compensation to a Rabbi Trust, as permitted by the plan. The Company includes the assets and liabilities of its supplemental retirement savings plan in its consolidated balance sheet. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased under the non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement are held in the Rabbi Trust, are presented as treasury stock and are carried at cost. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 1,743 shares and 2,035 shares, respectively, were held in the Rabbi Trust and were accounted for as treasury stock. Foreign Currency Translation The Company has designated the Canadian dollar as the functional currency for its activities in Canada. The cumulative translation effects of translating the accounts from the functional currency into the U.S. dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component of other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. New Accounting Standards Implemented in this Report In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, as a new ASC Topic, ASC 848. The purpose of ASC 848 is to provide optional guidance to ease the potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from Interbank Offered Rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), to alternative reference rates. ASC 848 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, debt arrangements and other transactions that reference a benchmark reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASC 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by this reform. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 9 , the Company amended and extended its credit facility which is subject to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) interest rates beginning in the second quarter of 2022. The change from LIBOR to SOFR rates did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS GEP Haynesville, LLC Merger On November 3, 2021, Southwestern entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Mustang Acquisition Company, LLC (“Mustang”), GEP Haynesville, LLC (“GEPH”) and GEPH Unitholder Rep, LLC (the “GEPH Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the GEPH Merger Agreement, GEPH merged with and into Mustang, a subsidiary of Southwestern, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southwestern (the “GEPH Merger”). The GEPH Merger closed on December 31, 2021 and expanded the Company’s operations in the Haynesville and Bossier Shales. Under the terms and conditions of the GEPH Merger Agreement, the outstanding equity interests in GEPH were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $1,263 million in cash consideration and 99,337,748 shares of Southwestern common stock. These shares of Southwestern common stock had an aggregate dollar value equal to approximately $463 million, based on the closing price of $4.66 per share of Southwestern common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company assumed GEPH’s revolving line of credit balance of $81 million as of December 31, 2021. This balance was subsequently repaid, and the GEPH revolving line of credit was retired on December 31, 2021. See Note 1 and Note 9 for additional information. The GEPH Merger constituted a business combination, and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. For tax purposes, the GEPH Merger was treated as a sale of partnership interests and an acquisition of assets. The following table presents the fair value of consideration transferred to GEPH equity holders as a result of the GEPH Merger: (in millions, except share, per share amounts) As of December 31, 2021 Shares of Southwestern common stock issued 99,337,748 NYSE closing price per share of Southwestern common shares on December 31, 2021 $ 4.66 $ 463 Cash consideration (1) 1,263 Total consideration $ 1,726 (1) Reflects $6 million of customary post-close cash consideration adjustments. The following table sets forth the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was complete as of the fourth quarter of 2022. (in millions) As of December 31, 2021 Consideration: Total consideration $ 1,726 Fair Value of Assets Acquired: Cash and cash equivalents 11 Accounts receivable (1) 180 Other current assets (1) 1 Commodity derivative assets 56 Evaluated oil and gas properties 1,783 Unevaluated oil and gas properties 59 Other property, plant and equipment 2 Other long-term assets 3 Total assets acquired 2,095 Fair Value of Liabilities Assumed: Accounts payable (1) 176 Other current liabilities 1 Derivative liabilities 75 Revolving credit facility 81 Asset retirement obligations 24 Other noncurrent liabilities (1) 12 Total liabilities assumed 369 Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed $ 1,726 (1) Reflects adjustments consisting of a $9 million increase to accounts receivable, a $2 million decrease to other current assets, a $6 million increase to accounts payable and a $7 million increase to other non-current liabilities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values at the date of the GEPH Merger. The valuation of certain assets, including property, were based on appraisals. The fair value of acquired equipment was based on both available market data and a cost approach. With the completion of the GEPH Merger, Southwestern acquired proved and unproved properties of approximately $1,783 million and $59 million, respectively, primarily associated with the Haynesville and Bossier formations. The remaining $2 million in Other property, plant and equipment consists of land, facilities and various equipment. The income approach was utilized for unevaluated and evaluated oil and gas properties based on underlying reserve projections at the GEPH Merger date. Income approaches are considered Level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future production, commodity prices, and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using weighted average cost of capital for industry peers, and risk adjustment factors based on reserve category. Price assumptions were based on observable market pricing adjusted for historical differentials. Cost estimates were based on current observable costs inflated based on historical and expected future inflation. Taxes were based on current statutory rates. The Company considered the borrowings under the revolving credit facility to approximate fair value as the balance on the GEPH revolving credit facility was immediately paid off after the GEPH Merger close. The value of derivative instruments was based on observable inputs, primarily forward commodity-price curves, and is considered Level 2. Since the date of the GEPH Merger occurred on December 31, 2021, there were no revenues or operating income associated with the operations acquired recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 . Indigo Natural Resources Merger On June 1, 2021, Southwestern entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Ikon Acquisition Company, LLC (“Ikon”), Indigo Natural Resources LLC (“Indigo”) and Ibis Unitholder Representative LLC (the “Indigo Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Indigo Merger Agreement, Indigo merged with and into Ikon, a subsidiary of Southwestern, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southwestern (the “Indigo Merger”). On August 27, 2021, Southwestern’s stockholders voted to approve the Indigo Merger and the transaction closed on September 1, 2021. The Indigo Merger established Southwestern’s natural gas operations in the Haynesville and Bossier Shales. The outstanding equity interests in Indigo were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) $373 million in cash consideration, subject to adjustment as provided in the Indigo Merger Agreement, and (ii) 337,827,171 shares of Southwestern common stock. These shares of Southwestern common stock had an aggregate dollar value equal to approximately $1,588 million, based on the closing price of $4.70 per share of Southwestern common stock on the NYSE on September 1, 2021. Additionally, Southwestern assumed $700 million in aggregate principal amount of Indigo’s 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Indigo Notes”) with a fair value of $726 million as of September 1, 2021, which were subsequently exchanged for $700 million of newly issued 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029. In addition, the Company assumed Indigo’s revolving line of credit balance of $95 million as of September 1, 2021. This balance was subsequently repaid, and the Indigo revolving line of credit was retired in September 2021. See Note 1 and Note 9 for additional information. The Indigo Merger constituted a business combination, and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. For tax purposes, the Indigo Merger was treated as a sale of partnership interests and an acquisition of assets. The following table presents the fair value of consideration transferred to Indigo equity holders as a result of the Indigo Merger: (in millions, except share, per share amounts) As of September 1, 2021 Shares of Southwestern common stock issued 337,827,171 NYSE closing price per share of Southwestern common shares on September 1, 2021 $ 4.70 $ 1,588 Cash consideration 373 Total consideration $ 1,961 The following table sets forth the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was complete as of the third quarter of 2022. (in millions) As of September 1, 2021 Consideration: Total consideration $ 1,961 Fair Value of Assets Acquired: Cash and cash equivalents 55 Accounts receivable (2) 193 Other current assets 2 Commodity derivative assets 2 Evaluated oil and gas properties 2,724 Unevaluated oil and gas properties (1) 690 Other property, plant and equipment 4 Other long-term assets 27 Total assets acquired 3,697 Fair Value of Liabilities Assumed: Accounts payable (2) 285 Other current liabilities 55 Derivative liabilities 501 Revolving credit facility 95 Senior unsecured notes 726 Asset retirement obligations 8 Other noncurrent liabilities (2) 66 Total liabilities assumed 1,736 Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed $ 1,961 (1) Reflects a $6 million adjustment during 2022 due to finalization of purchase accounting. (2) Reflects adjustments consisting of a $1 million increase to accounts receivable, an $11 million increase to accounts payable and a $4 million decrease to other non-current liabilities during 2022 due to finalization of purchase accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values at the date of the Indigo Merger. The valuation of certain assets, including property, were based on appraisals. The fair value of acquired equipment was based on both available market data and a cost approach. With the completion of the Indigo Merger, Southwestern acquired proved and unproved properties of approximately $2,724 million and $690 million, respectively, primarily associated with the Haynesville and Bossier formations. The remaining $4 million in Other property, plant and equipment consists of land, water facilities and various equipment. The income approach was utilized for unevaluated and evaluated oil and gas properties based on underlying reserve projections at the Indigo Merger date. Income approaches are considered Level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future production, commodity prices, and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using weighted average cost of capital for industry peers, and risk adjustment factors based on reserve category. Price assumptions were based on observable market pricing adjusted for historical differentials. Cost estimates were based on current observable costs inflated based on historical and expected future inflation. Taxes were based on current statutory rates. The measurement of senior unsecured notes was based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market and are Level 1. The Company considered the borrowings under the credit facility to approximate fair value as the outstanding Indigo revolving credit facility was immediately paid off after the Indigo Merger close. The value of derivative instruments was based on observable inputs, primarily forward commodity-price and interest-rate curves and is considered Level 2. From the date of the Indigo Merger throu gh December 31, 2021, revenues and operating income associated with the operations acquired through the Indigo Merger totaled $682 million and $472 million, respectively. Prior to the Indigo Merger, in May 2021, Indigo closed on an agreement to divest its Cotton Valley natural gas and oil properties. Indigo retained certain contractual commitments related to volume commitments associated with natural gas gathering, for which Southwestern will assume the obligation to pay the gathering provider for any unused portion of the volume commitment under the agreement through 2027, depending on the buyer’s actual use. As of the acquisition date, up to approximately $34 million of these contractual commitments remained and the Company recorded a $17 million liability. As of December 31, 2022, up to approximately $30 million of these contractual commitments remain, and the Company has a $16 million remaining liability for the estimated future payments. Excluding the Cotton Valley gathering agreement (discussed above), the Company has recorded additional liabilities totaling $81 million as of the acquisition close date and had $26 million remaining as of December 31, 2022, primarily related to purchase or volume commitments associated with gathering, fresh water and sand. The remaining amounts as of December 31, 2022 will be recognized as payments are made over a 7 month period. Montage Resources Merger In August 2020, Southwestern entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Montage Resources Corporation (“Montage”) whereby Montage would merge with and into Southwestern, with Southwestern continuing as the surviving company (the “Montage Merger”). On November 12, 2020, Montage’s stockholders voted to approve the Montage Merger and it was made effective on November 13, 2020. The Montage Merger added to Southwestern’s oil and gas portfolio in Appalachia. In anticipation of the Montage Merger, in August 2020 Southwestern issued $350 million of new senior unsecured notes and 63,250,000 shares of common stock for $152 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the debt and common stock offerings and borrowings under its credit facility to fund a redemption of $510 million aggregate principal amount of Montage's outstanding 8.875% senior notes due 2023 (the "Montage Notes") and related accrued interest in connection with the closing of the Montage Merger. See Note 1 and Note 9 for additional information. The Montage Merger constituted a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Total consideration for the deal, consisted of 69,740,848 shares of Southwestern common stock valued at the closing price of $3.05 per share on the NYSE on November 13, 2020, and the total net assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $213 million. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values at the date of the Montage Merger. The valuation of certain assets, including property, were based on appraisals. The fair value of acquired equipment was based on both available market data and a cost approach. From the date of the Montage Merger through December 31, 2020, revenues and the net income attributable to common stockholders associated with the operations acquired through the Montage Merger totaled $63 million and $28 million, respectively. Pro Forma Information The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of Southwestern as if the Montage Merger had occurred on January 1, 2019, and the Indigo Merger and the GEPH Merger each had occurred on January 1, 2020: For the years ended December 31, (in millions, except per share amounts) 2021 (1) 2020 Revenues $ 8,301 $ 3,836 Net income (loss) attributable to common stock $ (354) $ (3,243) Net income (loss) attributable to common stock per share – basic $ (0.32) $ (2.92) Net income (loss) attributable to common stock per share – diluted $ (0.32) $ (2.92) (1) The year ended December 31, 2021 includes the actual operating results from the Montage Merger, which occurred in November 2020. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Montage Merger been completed at January 1, 2019, and the Indigo Merger and the GEPH Merger each been completed at January 1, 2020, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entities. The unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the Mergers and any related equity and debt issuances, along with the use of proceeds therefrom, as if they had occurred on the respective dates discussed above and is a result of combining the statements of operations of Southwestern with the pre-merger results of Montage, Indigo and GEPH, including adjustments for revenues and direct expenses. The pro forma results exclude any cost savings anticipated as a result of the Mergers, and include adjustments to DD&A (depreciation, depletion and amortization) based on the purchase price allocated to property, plant, and equipment and the estimated useful lives as well as adjustments to interest expense. Interest expense was adjusted to reflect any retirement of assumed senior notes, credit facilities, all related accrued interest and the associated decrease in amortization of issuance costs related to notes retired and revolving lines of credit. These decreases were partially offset by increases in interest on debt associated with the issuance of $350 million in 8.375% Senior Notes due 2028 related to the Southwestern debt offering and borrowings under Southwestern’s credit facility used to pay off the Montage notes, Montage credit facility and related accrued interest. Interest expense was also adjusted to include the impact of the assumption and exchange of Indigo’s $700 million of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 for equivalent Southwestern senior notes and to reflect the retirement of the Montage, Indigo and GEPH credit facilities, all related accrued interest and the associated decreases in amortization of issuance costs related to the respective revolving lines of credit. Management believes the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the three Mergers are properly reflected. Merger-Related Expenses The following table summarizes the merger-related expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: For the years ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Indigo GEPH Total Indigo GEPH Montage Total Montage Transition Services $ — $ 18 $ 18 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Professional fees (bank, legal, consulting) — 1 1 27 19 1 47 18 Representation & warranty insurance — — — 4 7 — 11 — Contract buyouts, terminations and transfers 1 2 3 7 1 — 8 5 Due diligence and environmental 1 1 2 3 1 — 4 — Employee-related — 1 1 2 — 1 3 17 Other — 2 2 2 — 1 3 1 Total merger-related expenses $ 2 $ 25 $ 27 $ 45 $ 28 $ 3 $ 76 $ 41

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from Contracts with Customers Natural gas and liquids. Natural gas, oil and NGL sales are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer at a designated delivery point. The pricing provisions of the Company’s contracts are primarily tied to a market index with certain adjustments based on factors such as delivery, quality of the product and prevailing supply and demand conditions in the geographic areas in which the Company operates. Under the Company’s sales contracts, the delivery of each unit of natural gas, oil and NGLs represents a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligations are fulfilled. There is no significant financing component to the Company’s revenues as payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of control transfer. Furthermore, consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice and has not disclosed information regarding its remaining performance obligations. The Company records revenue from its natural gas and liquids production in the amount of its net revenue interest in sales from its properties. Accordingly, natural gas and liquid sales are not recognized for deliveries in excess of the Company’s net revenue interest, while natural gas and liquid sales are recognized for any under-delivered volumes. Marketing . The Company, through its marketing affiliate, generally markets natural gas, oil and NGLs for its affiliated E&P companies as well as other joint owners who choose to market with the Company. In addition, the Company markets some products purchased from third parties. Marketing revenues for natural gas, oil and NGL sales are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer at a designated delivery point. The pricing provisions of the Company’s contracts are primarily tied to market indices with certain adjustments based on factors such as delivery, quality of the product and prevailing supply and demand conditions. Under the Company’s marketing contracts, the delivery of each unit of natural gas, oil and NGLs represents a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when the performance obligations are fulfilled. Customers are invoiced and revenues are recorded each month as natural gas, oil and NGLs are delivered, and payment terms are typically within 30 to 60 days of control transfer. Furthermore, consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. As a result, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice and has not disclosed information regarding its remaining performance obligations. Disaggregation of Revenues The Company presents a disaggregation of E&P revenues by product in the consolidated statements of operations net of intersegment revenues. The following table reconciles operating revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations to the operating revenues by segment: (in millions) E&P Marketing Intersegment Total Year ended December 31, 2022 Gas sales $ 9,100 $ — $ 1 $ 9,101 Oil sales 434 — 5 439 NGL sales 1,046 — — 1,046 Marketing — 14,521 (10,102) 4,419 Other (1) (3) — — (3) Total $ 10,577 $ 14,521 $ (10,096) $ 15,002 Year ended December 31, 2021 Gas sales $ 3,358 $ — $ 54 $ 3,412 Oil sales 389 — 5 394 NGL sales 888 — 2 890 Marketing — 6,186 (4,223) 1,963 Other (1) 5 3 — 8 Total $ 4,640 $ 6,189 $ (4,162) $ 6,667 Year ended December 31, 2020 Gas sales $ 928 $ — $ 39 $ 967 Oil sales 150 — 4 154 NGL sales 265 — — 265 Marketing — 2,145 (1,228) 917 Other (1) 5 — — 5 Total $ 1,348 $ 2,145 $ (1,185) $ 2,308 (1) Other E&P revenues consists primarily of gas balancing and water sales to third-party operators, and other marketing revenues consists primarily of sales of gas from storage.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Risk Management	DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Company is exposed to volatility in market prices and basis differentials for natural gas, oil and NGLs, which impacts the predictability of its cash flows related to the sale of those commodities. These risks are managed by the Company’s use of certain derivative financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of fixed price swaps, two-way costless collars, three-way costless collars, basis swaps, call options and interest rate swaps. A description of the Company’s derivative financial instruments is provided below: Fixed price swaps If the Company sells a fixed price swap, the Company receives a fixed price for the contract, and pays a floating market price to the counterparty. If the Company purchases a fixed price swap, the Company receives a floating market price for the contract, and pays a fixed price to the counterparty. Two-way costless collars Arrangements that contain a fixed floor price (“purchased put option”) and a fixed ceiling price (“sold call option”) based on an index price which, in aggregate, have no net cost. At the contract settlement date, (1) if the index price is higher than the ceiling price, the Company pays the counterparty the difference between the index price and ceiling price, (2) if the index price is between the floor and ceiling prices, no payments are due from either party, and (3) if the index price is below the floor price, the Company will receive the difference between the floor price and the index price. Three-way costless collars Arrangements that contain a purchased put option, a sold call option and a sold put option based on an index price that, in aggregate, have no net cost. At the contract settlement date, (1) if the index price is higher than the sold call strike price, the Company pays the counterparty the difference between the index price and sold call strike price, (2) if the index price is between the purchased put strike price and the sold call strike price, no payments are due from either party, (3) if the index price is between the sold put strike price and the purchased put strike price, the Company will receive the difference between the purchased put strike price and the index price, and (4) if the index price is below the sold put strike price, the Company will receive the difference between the purchased put strike price and the sold put strike price. Basis swaps Arrangements that guarantee a price differential for natural gas from a specified delivery point. If the Company sells a basis swap, the Company receives a payment from the counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the contract, and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less than the stated terms of the contract. If the Company purchases a basis swap, the Company pays the counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the contract, and receives a payment from the counterparty if the price differential is less than the stated terms of the contract. Options (Calls and Puts) The Company purchases and sells options in exchange for premiums. If the Company purchases a call option, the Company receives from the counterparty the excess (if any) of the market price over the strike price of the call option at the time of settlement, but if the market price is below the call’s strike price, no payment is due from either party. If the Company sells a call option, the Company pays the counterparty the excess (if any) of the market price over the strike price of the call option at the time of settlement, but if the market price is below the call’s strike price, no payment is due from either party. If the Company purchases a put option, the Company receives from the counterparty the excess (if any) of the strike price over the market price of the put option at the time of settlement, but if the market price is above the put’s strike price, no payment is due from either party. If the Company sells a put option, the Company pays the counterparty the excess (if any) of the strike price over the market price of the put option at the time of settlement, but if the market price is above the put’s strike price, no payment is due from either party. Interest rate swaps Interest rate swaps are used to fix or float interest rates on existing or anticipated indebtedness. The purpose of these instruments is to manage the Company’s existing or anticipated exposure to unfavorable interest rate changes. The Company chooses counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are creditworthy at the time the transactions are entered into, and the Company actively monitors the credit ratings and credit default swap rates of these counterparties where applicable. However, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Company. The Company presents its derivative positions on a gross basis and does not net the asset and liability positions. The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in commodity prices and that are used to protect the Company’s exposure. None of the financial instruments below are designated for hedge accounting treatment.

See Note 8 for additional details regarding the Company's fair value measurements of its derivative positions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no positions designated for hedge accounting treatment. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting treatment, or do not meet hedge accounting requirements, are recorded as a component of gain (loss) on derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, the gain (loss) on derivatives component of the statement of operations reflects the gains and losses on both settled and unsettled derivatives. Only the settled gains and losses are included in the Company’s realized commodity price calculations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 50 $ 50 $ 28 $ 28 2022 revolving credit facility due April 2027 (1) 250 250 460 460 Term Loan B due 2027 — — 550 550 Senior notes (2) 4,164 3,847 4,430 4,745 Derivative instruments, net (1,478) (1,478) (1,502) (1,502) (1) The Company’s 2018 credit facility was amended and restated during April 2022. (2) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 valuations – Consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 valuations – Consist of quoted market information for the calculation of fair market value. Level 3 valuations – Consist of internal estimates and have the lowest priority. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, including marketable securities, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. For debt and derivative instruments, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value: Debt: The fair values of the Company’s senior notes were based on the market value of the Company’s publicly traded debt as determined based on the market prices of the Company’s senior notes. Due to limited trading activity, the fair value of the Company's 4.10% Senior Notes due March 2022 was considered to be a Level 2 measurement on the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021. The fair values of the Company's more actively traded remaining senior notes are considered to be a Level 1 measurement. The carrying values of the borrowings under both the Company's 2022 credit facility (to the extent utilized) and Term Loan approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The Company considers the fair values of its 2022 credit facility and Term Loan to be a Level 1 measurement on the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Instruments: The Company measures the fair value of its derivative instruments based upon a pricing model that utilizes market-based inputs, including, but not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, natural gas and liquids forward curves, discount rates for a similar duration of each outstanding position, volatility factors and non-performance risk. Non-performance risk considers the effect of the Company’s credit standing on the fair value of derivative liabilities and the effect of counterparty credit standing on the fair value of derivative assets. Both inputs to the model are based on published credit default swap rates and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. As of December 31, 2022, the impact of non-performance risk on the fair value of the Company’s net derivative liability position was a reduction of the liability of $3 million. The Company has classified its derivative instruments into levels depending upon the data utilized to determine their fair values. The Company’s fixed price swaps (Level 2) are estimated using third-party discounted cash flow calculations using the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) futures index for natural gas and oil derivatives and Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) for ethane and propane derivatives. The Company utilizes discounted cash flow models for valuing its interest rate derivatives (Level 2). The net derivative values attributable to the Company’s interest rate derivative contracts are based on (i) the contracted notional amounts, (ii) active market-quoted yield curves and (iii) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve. The Company had no interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s call and put options, two-way costless collars, and three-way costless collars (Level 2) are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contract terms, including maturity, and market parameters, including assumptions of the NYMEX and OPIS futures index, interest rates, volatility and credit worthiness. Inputs to the Black-Scholes model, including the volatility input are obtained from a third-party pricing source, with independent verification of the most significant inputs on a monthly basis. An increase (decrease) in volatility would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value measurement, respectively. The Company’s basis swaps (Level 2) are estimated using third-party calculations based upon forward commodity price curves. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: December 31, 2022 Fair Value Measurements Using: (in millions) Quoted Prices in Active Markets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Assets (Liabilities) at Fair Value Assets: Fixed price swaps $ — $ 46 $ — $ 46 Two-way costless collars — 65 — 65 Three-way costless collars — 22 — 22 Basis swaps — 81 — 81 Purchase Put - Natural Gas — 4 — 4 Liabilities: (1) Fixed price swaps — (888) — (888) Two-way costless collars — (291) — (291) Three-way costless collars — (362) — (362) Basis swaps — (70) — (70) Call options — (88) — (88) Total $ — $ (1,481) $ — $ (1,481) (1) Excludes a net reduction to the liability fair value of $3 million related to estimated non-performance risk.

See Note 13 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s pension plan assets. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis The Company completed the Indigo Merger and the GEPH Merger on September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 2 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the carrying value of certain non-core assets exceeded their respective fair value less costs to sell and recognized a $6 million non-cash impairment. The Company used Level 3 measurements to determine the fair value of these assets. In 2020, the Company determined that the $6 million carrying value of certain non-core assets exceeded their respective fair value less costs to sell and recognized a $5 million non-cash impairment. The Company used Level 2 measurements to determine the fair value of these assets.

(2) Effective in July 2018, the interest rate was 6.20% for the 2025 Notes, reflecting a net downgrade in the Company's bond ratings since their issuance. On April 7, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company's bond rating to BB-, which had the effect of increasing the interest rate on the 2025 Notes to 6.45% following the July 23, 2020 interest payment due date. The first coupon payment to the bondholders at the higher interest rate was paid in January 2021. On September 1, 2021, S&P upgraded the Company’s bond rating to BB, and on January 6, 2022, S&P further upgraded the Company’s bond rating to BB+, which decreased the interest rate on the 2025 Notes to 5.95% beginning with coupon payments paid after January 2022. On May 31, 2022, Moody’s upgraded the Company’s bond rating to Ba1, which decreased the interest rate on the 2025 Notes from 5.95% to 5.70% for coupon payments paid after July 2022. (3) The Company’s credit facility was amended and restated in April 2022. (4) The Term Loan required quarterly principal repayments of $1.375 million, subject to adjustment for voluntary prepayments, beginning in March 2022. The following is a summary of scheduled debt maturities by year as of December 31, 2022: (in millions) 2023 $ — 2024 — 2025 389 2026 — 2027 (1) 671 Thereafter 3,354 $ 4,414 (1) The Company’s 2022 credit facility matures in 2027. Credit Facility 2022 Credit Facility On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that replaces its previous credit facility with a group of banks, that as amended, has a maturity date of April 2027 (the “2022 credit facility”). As of December 31, 2022, the 2022 credit facility has an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount and borrowing base of $3.5 billion and elected five at $2.0 billion and $500 million, respectively. The Five-Year Tranche and Short-Term Tranche have maturity dates of April 8, 2027 and April 30, 2023, respectively. Effective August 4, 2022, the Company elected to temporarily increase commitments under the 2022 credit facility by $500 million under the Short-Term Tranche as a temporary working capital liquidity resource. Any loans under the Short-Term Tranche bear interest at either (i) term SOFR plus an applicable rate of 2.75% plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment or (ii) the base rate described below plus an applicable rate of 1.75%, and unused commitments thereunder incur commitment fees at a rate of 0.50% per annum. Through December 31, 2022, the Company has had no borrowings under the Short-Term Tranche. The Company may utilize the 2022 credit facility in the form of loans and letters of credit. Loans under the Five-Year Tranche of the 2022 credit facility are subject to varying rates of interest based on whether the loan is a SOFR loan or an alternate base rate loan. Term SOFR loans bear interest at term SOFR plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% based on the Company’s utilization of the Five-Year Tranche of the 2022 credit facility, plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment. Base rate loans bear interest at a base rate per year equal to the greatest of: (i) the prime rate; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; and (iii) the adjusted term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%, depending on the percentage of the commitments utilized. Commitment fees on unused commitment amounts under the Five-Year Tranche of the 2022 credit facility range between 0.375% to 0.50%, depending on the percentage of the commitments utilized. The 2022 credit facility contains customary representations and warranties and covenants including, among others, the following: • a prohibition against incurring debt, subject to permitted exceptions; • a restriction on creating liens on assets, subject to permitted exceptions; • restrictions on mergers and asset dispositions; • restrictions on use of proceeds, investments, declaring dividends, repurchasing junior debt, transactions with affiliates, or change of principal business; and • maintenance of the following financial covenants, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022: (1) Minimum current ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00, whereby current ratio is defined as the Company’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the credit agreement, but excluding non-cash derivative assets) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash derivative obligations and current maturities of long-term debt). (2) Maximum total net leverage ratio of no greater than, with respect to the prior four fiscal quarters ending on or after March 31, 2022, 4.00 to 1.00. Total net leverage ratio is defined as total debt less cash on hand (up to the lesser of 10% of credit limit or $150 million) divided by consolidated EBITDAX for the last four consecutive quarters. EBITDAX, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Company’s 2022 credit facility, excludes the effects of interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, income tax, any non-cash impacts from impairments, certain non-cash hedging activities, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash gains or losses on asset sales, unamortized issuance cost, unamortized debt discount and certain restructuring costs. The 2022 credit facility contains customary events of default that include, among other things, the failure to comply with the financial covenants described above, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and cross-defaults to material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the 2022 credit facility may become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the credit agreement in all material respects. Currently, each United States domestic subsidiary of the Company for which the Company owns 100% of its equity guarantees the 2022 credit facility. Pursuant to requirements under the indentures governing its senior notes, each subsidiary that became a guarantor of the 2022 credit facility also became a guarantor of each of the Company’s senior notes. Certain features of the facility depend on whether Southwestern has obtained any of the following ratings: • An unsecured long-term debt credit rating (an “Index Debt Rating”) of BBB- or higher with S&P; • An Index Debt Rating of Baa3 or higher with Moody’s; or • An Index Debt Rating of BBB- or higher with Fitch (each of the foregoing an “Investment Grade Rating”). Upon receiving one Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody’s, repayment in full of the term loan obligations under Southwestern’s Term Loan Agreement dated December 22, 2021, and delivering a certification to the administrative agent (the period beginning at such time, an “Interim Investment Grade Period”), amongst other changes, the following occurs: • The Guarantors may be released from their guarantees; • The collateral under the facility will be released; • The facility will no longer be subject to a borrowing base; and • Certain title and collateral-related covenants will no longer be applicable. During the Interim Investment Grade Period, the Company will be required to maintain compliance with the existing financial covenants as well as a PV-9 coverage ratio of the net present value, discounted at 9% per annum, of the estimated future net revenues expected in the proved reserves to the Company’s total indebtedness as of such date of not less than 1.50 to 1.00 (“PV-9 Coverage Ratio”). In addition, during an Interim Investment Grade Period or Investment Grade Period (as defined below), term SOFR loans will bear interest at term SOFR plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.25% to 1.875%, depending on the Company’s Index Debt Rating (as defined in the 2022 credit facility), plus an additional 0.10% credit spread adjustment. Base rate loans will bear interest at the base rate described above plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.875%, depending on the Company’s Index Debt Rating. During an Interim Investment Grade Period or Investment Grade Period (defined below), the commitment fee on unused commitment amounts under the facility will range from 0.15% to 0.275%, depending on the Company’s Index Debt Rating. The Interim Investment Grade Period will end, and the facility will revert to its characteristics prior to the Interim Investment Grade Period, including being guaranteed by the Guarantors, being secured by collateral and being subject to a borrowing base, having applicable margins and commitment fee determined based on percentage of commitments utilized, as well as limited to compliance with the leverage ratio and current ratio financial covenants but not the PV-9 Coverage Ratio if both of the following are achieved during the Interim Investment Grade Period: • An Index Debt Rating from Moody’s that is Ba2 or lower; and • An Index Debt Rating from S&P that is BB or lower. Upon receiving two Investment Grade Ratings from S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch (such period following, an “Investment Grade Period”), certain restrictive covenants fall away or become more permissive. Upon Investment Grade Period, the leverage ratio and current ratio financial covenants and PV-9 Coverage Ratio will no longer be effective, and the Company will be required to maintain compliance with a total indebtedness to capitalization ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to the sum of total indebtedness plus stockholders’ equity, not to exceed 65%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $110 million in letters of credit and $250 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2022 credit facility. The Company currently does not anticipate being required to supply a materially greater amount of letters of credit under its existing contracts. Term Loan Credit Agreement On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement with a group of lenders that provided for a $550 million secured term loan facility which matures in June 2027 (the “Term Loan”). The net proceeds from the initial loans of $542 million were used to fund a portion of the GEPH Merger on December 31, 2021. Beginning on March 31, 2022, the Term Loan required minimum quarterly payments of $1.375 million, subject to adjustment for voluntary prepayments. On December 30, 2022, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan. The payoff amount included the principal amount of approximately $546 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest, fees, and expenses, which satisfied all of the Company’s indebtedness obligations thereunder. In connection with the repayment of such outstanding indebtedness obligations, all security interests, mortgages, liens and encumbrances securing the obligations under the Term Loan, the Term Loan, related loan documents, and all guarantees of such indebtedness obligations were terminated. The Company funded the repayment of the obligations under the Term Loan with approximately $305 million in cash on hand and approximately $250 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Senior Notes In January 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.95% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). The interest rate on the 2025 Notes is determined based upon the public bond ratings from Moody’s and S&P. Downgrades on the 2025 Notes from either rating agency increase interest costs by 25 basis points per downgrade level and upgrades decrease interest costs by 25 basis points per upgrade level, up to the stated coupon rate, on the following semi-annual bond interest payment. Effective in July 2018, the interest rate for the 2015 Notes was 6.20%, reflecting a net downgrade in the Company's bond ratings since their issuance. On April 7, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company's bond rating to BB-, which had the effect of increasing the interest rate on the 2025 Notes to 6.45% following the July 23, 2020 interest payment due date. The first coupon payment to the bondholders at the higher interest rate was paid in January 2021. On September 1, 2021, S&P upgraded the Company’s bond rating to BB, and on January 6, 2022, S&P further upgraded the Company’s bond rating to BB+, which decreased the interest rate on the 2025 Notes to 5.95% beginning with coupon payments paid after January 2022. On May 31, 2022, Moody’s upgraded the Company’s bond rating to Ba1, which decreased the interest rate on the 2025 Notes from 5.95% to 5.70% for coupon payments paid after July 2022. In the first half of 2020, the Company repurchased $6 million of its 4.10% senior notes due 2022, $36 million of its 4.95% senior notes due 2025, $21 million of its 7.50% senior notes due 2026 and $44 million of its 7.75% senior notes due 2027 for $72 million, and recognized a $35 million gain on the extinguishment of debt. In August 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 2028 Notes, with net proceeds from the offering totaling approximately $345 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The 2028 Notes were sold to the public at 100% of their face value. The net proceeds from the notes, in conjunction with the net proceeds from the August 2020 common stock offering and borrowings under the credit facility, were utilized to fund a redemption of $510 million of Montage's Notes in connection with the closing of the Montage Merger. On August 30, 2021, Southwestern closed its public offering of $1,200 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), with net proceeds from the offering totaling $1,183 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The proceeds were used to repurchase the remaining $618 million of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Notes due 2026, $167 million of the Company’s 4.95% Senior Notes due 2025 and $6 million of the Company’s 4.10% Senior Notes due 2022 for $845 million, and the Company recognized a $60 million loss on the extinguishment of debt, which included the write-off of $6 million in related unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs. The remaining proceeds were used to pay borrowings under its credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Upon the close of the Indigo Merger on September 1, 2021, and pursuant to the terms of the Indigo Merger Agreement, Southwestern assumed $700 million in aggregate principal amount of Indigo’s 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029 (“Indigo Notes”). As part of purchase accounting, the assumption of the Indigo Notes resulted in a non-cash fair value adjustment of $26 million, based on the market price of 103.766% on September 1, 2021, the date that the Indigo Merger closed. Subsequent to the Indigo Merger, the Company exchanged the Indigo Notes for approximately $700 million of newly issued 5.375% Senior Notes due 2029, which were registered with the SEC in November 2021. On December 22, 2021, Southwestern closed its public offering of $1,150 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), with net proceeds from the offering totaling $1,133 million after underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The net proceeds of this offering, along with the net proceeds from the Term Loan, were used to fund the cash consideration portion of the GEPH Merger, which closed on December 31, 2021, and to pay $332 million to fund tender offers for $300 million of our 2025 Notes for which the Company recorded an additional loss on extinguishment of debt of $33 million, which included the write-off of $1 million in related unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs. The remaining proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company retired $816 million of long term debt at a cost of $822 million and recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment of $14 million, which included $6 million of premiums and fees and the write off of $8 million in related unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs. The debt retirements included the repurchase of $46 million of its 8.375% Senior Notes due September 2028, $19 million of its 7.75% Senior Notes due October 2027, and the full redemption of $201 million of its outstanding 4.10% Senior Notes due March 2022, and its $550 million Term Loan.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s contractual obligations for demand and similar charges under firm transportation and gathering agreements to guarantee access capacity on natural gas and liquids pipelines and gathering systems totaled approximately $10.4 billion, $1,326 million of which related to access capacity on future pipeline and gathering infrastructure projects that still require the granting of regulatory approvals and additional construction efforts. The Company also had guarantee obligations of up to $929 million of that amount. As of December 31, 2022, future payments under non-cancelable firm transportation and gathering agreements are as follows: Payments Due by Period (in millions) Total Less than 1 Year 1 to 3 Years 3 to 5 Years 5 to 8 Years More than 8 Years Infrastructure currently in service $ 9,088 $ 1,080 $ 1,898 $ 1,700 $ 2,024 $ 2,386 Pending regulatory approval and/or construction (1) 1,326 30 200 250 371 475 Total transportation charges $ 10,414 $ 1,110 $ 2,098 $ 1,950 $ 2,395 $ 2,861 (1) Based on the estimated in-service dates as of December 31, 2022. Prior to the Indigo Merger, in May 2021, Indigo closed on an agreement to divest its Cotton Valley natural gas and oil properties. Indigo retained certain contractual commitments related to volume commitments associated with natural gas gathering, for which Southwestern assumed the obligation to pay the gathering provider for any unused portion of the volume commitment under the agreement through 2027, depending on the buyer’s actual use. As of December 31, 2022, up to approximately $30 million of these contractual commitments remain (included in the table above), and the Company has recorded a $16 million liability for its portion of the estimated future payments. Excluding the Cotton Valley gathering agreement (discussed above), the Company has recorded additional liabilities totaling $26 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily related to purchase or volume commitments associated with gathering and fresh water. These amounts are reflected above and will be recognized as payments are made over a 7 month period. The Company leases pressure pumping equipment for its E&P operations under three leases that expire in 2027 and 2028. The current aggregate annual payment under these leases is approximately $9 million. The Company has seven leases for drilling rigs for its E&P operations that expire through 2028 with a current aggregate annual payment of approximately $12 million. The lease payments for the pressure pumping equipment, as well as other operating expenses for the Company’s drilling operations, are capitalized to natural gas and oil properties and are partially offset by billings to third-party working interest owners. The Company leases office space, vehicles and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2036. As of December 31, 2022, future minimum payments under these non-cancelable leases accounted for as operating leases (including short-term) are approximately $40 million in 2023, $35 million in 2024, $32 million in 2025, $29 million in 2026, $25 million in 2027 and $18 million thereafter. The Company also has commitments for compression services and compression rentals related to its E&P segment. As of December 31, 2022, future minimum payments under these non-cancelable agreements (including short-term obligations) are approximately $20 million in 2023, $10 million in 2024, $2 million in 2025 and less than $1 million in 2026. Environmental Risk The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Environmental and cleanup related costs of a non-capital nature are accrued when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management believes any future remediation or other compliance related costs will not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Litigation The Company is subject to various litigation, claims and proceedings, most of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business such as for alleged breaches of contract, miscalculation of royalties, employment matters, traffic accidents, pollution, contamination, encroachment on others’ property or nuisance. The Company accrues for litigation, claims and proceedings when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2022, the Company does not currently have any material amounts accrued related to litigation matters, including the case discussed below. For any matters not accrued for, it is not possible at this time to estimate the amount of any additional loss, or range of loss, that is reasonably possible, but, based on the nature of the claims, management believes that current litigation, claims and proceedings, individually or in aggregate and after taking into account insurance, are not likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, for the period in which the effect of that outcome becomes reasonably estimable. Many of these matters are in early stages, so the allegations and the damage theories have not been fully developed, and are all subject to inherent uncertainties; therefore, management’s view may change in the future. Bryant Litigation As further discussed in Note 2 , on September 1, 2021, the Company completed the Indigo Merger, resulting in the assumption of Indigo’s existing litigation. On June 12, 2018, a collection of 51 individuals and entities filed a lawsuit against fifteen oil and gas company defendants, including Indigo, in Louisiana state court claiming damages arising out of current and historical exploration and production activity on certain acreage located in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. The plaintiffs, who claim to own the properties at issue, assert that Indigo’s actions and the actions of other current operators conducting exploration and production activity, combined with the improper plugging and abandoning of legacy wells by former operators, have caused environmental contamination to their properties. Among other things, the plaintiffs contend that the defendants’ conduct resulted in the migration of natural gas, along with oilfield contaminants, into the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer system underlying certain portions of DeSoto Parish. The plaintiffs assert claims based in tort, breach of contract and for violations of the Louisiana Civil and Mineral Codes, and they seek injunctive relief and monetary damages in an unspecified amount, including punitive damages. On September 13, 2018, Indigo and other defendants filed a variety of exceptions in response to the plaintiffs’ petition in this matter. Since the initial filing, supplemental petitions have been filed joining additional individuals and entities as plaintiffs in the matter. On September 29, 2020, plaintiffs filed their fourth supplemental and amending petition in response to the court’s order ruling that plaintiffs’ claims were improperly vague and failed to identify with reasonable specificity the defendants’ allegedly wrongful conduct. Indigo and the majority of the other defendants filed several exceptions to plaintiffs’ fourth amended petition challenging the sufficiency of plaintiffs’ allegations and seeking dismissal of certain claims. On February 18, 2021, plaintiffs filed a fifth supplemental and amending petition, which seeks to augment the claims of select plaintiffs. On October 11, 2021, a sixth supplemental petition was filed which seeks to add the Company as a party to the litigation which the Company has opposed. Plaintiffs later filed seventh and eighth supplemental petitions naming additional defendants. Fact discovery for the case is ongoing. The presence of natural gas in a localized area of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer system in DeSoto Parish is currently the subject of a regulatory investigation by the Louisiana Office of Conservation (“Conservation”), and the Company is cooperating and coordinating with Conservation in that investigation. The Conservation matter number is EMER18-003. The Company does not currently expect this matter to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity. Indemnifications The Company has provided certain indemnifications to various third parties, including in relation to asset and entity dispositions, securities offerings and other financings. In the case of asset dispositions, these indemnifications typically relate to disputes, litigation or tax matters existing at the date of disposition. The Company likewise obtains indemnification for future matters when it sells assets, although there is no assurance the buyer will be capable of performing those obligations. In the case of equity offerings, these indemnifications typically relate to claims asserted against underwriters in connection with an offering. No material liabilities have been recognized in connection with these indemnifications.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes included the following components: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Current: Federal $ 47 $ — $ (2) State 4 — — 51 — (2) Deferred: Federal — — 371 State — — 38 — — 409 Provision for income taxes $ 51 $ — $ 407 The provision for income taxes was an effective rate of 3% in 2022, 0% in 2021 and (15)% in 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate increased in 2022, as compared with 2021, primarily due to the effects of the valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets and limitations on net operating loss utilization resulting under IRC Section 382. The following reconciles the provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of operations with the provision which would result from application of the statutory federal tax rate to pre-tax financial income: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Expected provision (benefit) at federal statutory rate $ 400 $ (5) $ (568) Increase (decrease) resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax effect 39 — (55) Change in valuation allowance (392) 2 1,034 Other 4 3 (4) Provision for income taxes $ 51 $ — $ 407 The components of the Company’s deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 Deferred tax liabilities: Differences between book and tax basis of property $ 379 $ — Right of use lease asset $ 41 $ 45 Accrued pension costs 1 — Other 3 3 424 48 Deferred tax assets: Accrued compensation 50 44 Accrued pension costs — 6 Asset retirement obligations 24 25 Net operating loss carryforward 469 585 Future lease payments 41 46 Derivative activity 340 362 Capital loss carryover 27 28 Interest carryover 41 11 Other 21 20 1,013 1,127 Valuation allowance (589) (1,079) Net deferred tax asset $ — $ — In 2022, the Company made federal and state income tax payments of $35.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. In 2021, there were no material tax payments or refunds. In 2020, the Company received refunds related to federal income tax of $32 million. Due to the issuance of common stock associated with the Indigo Merger, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements to this Annual Report, the Company incurred a cumulative ownership change and as such, the Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) prior to the acquisition are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 of approximately $48 million. The ownership changes and resulting annual limitation will result in the expiration of NOLs or other tax attributes otherwise available, with a corresponding decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance. At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $4 billion of federal NOL carryovers, of which approximately $3 billion have an expiration date between 2035 and 2037 and $1 billion have an indefinite carryforward life. The Company currently estimates that approximately $2 billion of these federal NOLs will expire before they are able to be used. The non-expiring NOLs remain subject to a full valuation allowance. If a subsequent ownership change were to occur as a result of future transactions in the Company’s common stock, the Company’s use of remaining U.S. tax attributes may be further limited. Included in the Company’s net operating loss carryforward are the net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Montage acquisition of $858 million. A portion of the Montage-related net operating loss carryovers is subject to an annual section 382 limitation of $1.7 million, and the Company has appropriately accounted for this limitation in purchase accounting in 2020. Additionally, the Company has an income tax net operating loss carryforward related to its Canadian operations of $29 million, with expiration dates of 2030 through 2040. The Company also had a statutory depletion carryforward of $13 million and $177 million related to interest deduction carryforward as of December 31, 2022. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, the Company uses estimates and judgment regarding future taxable income, and considers the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include current financial position, results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as current and forecasted business economics of the oil and gas industry. In 2020, due to significant pricing declines and the material write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties in addition to other negative evidence, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and recorded a valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2022, the Company still maintains a full valuation allowance. The Company also retained a valuation allowance of $29 million related to net operating losses in jurisdictions in which it no longer operates. Management will continue to assess available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of deferred tax assets. The Company intends to continue a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowance. However, if current commodity prices are sustained and absent any additional objective negative evidence, the Company anticipates adjusting the current valuation allowance position in 2023. A reconciliation of the changes to the valuation allowance is as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 Valuation allowance at beginning of year $ 1,079 $ 1,539 Establishment of valuation allowance on opening deferred balance — — Return to accrual adjustments (36) (16) State rate and apportionment changes (66) (15) Current period deferred activity (388) (1) Reduction due to 382 limitations on NOLs — (428) Purchase accounting — — Valuation allowance at end of year $ 589 $ 1,079 A tax position must meet certain thresholds for any of the benefit of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, there were no unrecognized tax positions identified that would have a material effect on the effective tax rate. The Internal Revenue Service closed the 2016 and 2017 audits of the Company’s federal returns in 2021 with no change. The 2018 income tax year expired and the income tax years 2019 to 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans	12 Months Ended

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans	RETIREMENT AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 401(k) Defined Contribution Plan The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. The Company expensed $2 million of contribution expense in each of 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, the Company capitalized $2 million of contributions in both 2022 and 2021 and $1 million in 2020 directly related to the acquisition, exploration and development activities of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties. Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans Prior to January 1, 2021, substantially all of the Company’s employees were covered by the defined benefit pension plan, a cash balance plan that provided benefits based upon a fixed percentage of an employee’s annual compensation. As part of an ongoing effort to reduce costs, the Company elected to freeze its pension plan effective January 1, 2021. Employees that were participants in the pension plan prior to January 1, 2021 will no longer receive an increased benefit based on service after December 31, 2020 but will continue to receive an increased benefit based on the interest component of the plan until such time as they receive a lump sum distribution payment or their balance is converted into an annuity payment agreement as elected by the plan participant. On September 13, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved terminating the Company’s pension plan, effective December 31, 2021. This decision, among other benefits, will provide plan participants quicker access to, and greater flexibility in, the management of participants’ respective benefits due under the plan. The Company has commenced the pension plan termination process, and, on April 6, 2022, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination letter, concurring that the plan has met all of the qualification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. In December 2022, the Company distributed approximately 40% of the plan’s assets to participants in the form of lump sum payments in connection with a limited distribution window provided to all active and former employee participants as part of the plan termination process. For those plan participants who did not elect the lump sum payment option, the Company expects to transfer the remaining pension obligation from the plan to a qualified insurance company by June 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the assets held by the pension plan exceeded the plan’s benefit payment obligation by $15 million, as determined after the lump sum distributions were made. The postretirement benefit plan provides contributory health care and life insurance benefits. Employees become eligible for these benefits if they meet age and service requirements. Generally, the benefits paid are a stated percentage of medical expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverages. Substantially all of the Company’s employees continue to be covered by the postretirement benefit plans. The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans by recognizing the funded status of each defined pension benefit plan and other postretirement benefit plan on the Company’s balance sheet. In the event a plan is overfunded, the Company recognizes an asset. Conversely, if a plan is underfunded, the Company recognizes a liability. The following provides a reconciliation of the changes in the plans’ benefit obligations, fair value of assets and funded status as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Change in benefit obligations: Benefit obligation at January 1 $ 126 $ 139 $ 13 $ 13 Service cost — — 2 2 Interest cost 3 4 — — Actuarial gain (29) (4) (5) (2) Benefits paid (2) (2) (1) — Plan amendments (2) — — — Settlements (39) (11) — — Benefit obligation at December 31 $ 57 $ 126 $ 9 $ 13 Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at January 1 $ 114 $ 106 $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets — 6 — — Employer contributions — 12 1 1 Benefits paid (2) (2) (1) (1) Settlements (40) (8) — — Fair value of plan assets at December 31 $ 72 $ 114 $ — $ — Funded status of plans at December 31 (1) $ 15 $ (12) $ (9) $ (13) (1) The funded status of the pension plan includes a $1 million liability related to a supplemental employee retirement plan as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans and had assets recorded for the overfunded status and liabilities recorded for the underfunded status for each period as presented above. The pension plans’ projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: (in millions) 2022 2021 Projected benefit obligation $ 57 $ 126 Accumulated benefit obligation 57 126 Fair value of plan assets 72 114 Pension and other postretirement benefit costs include the following components for 2022, 2021 and 2020: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Service cost (1) $ — $ — $ 7 $ 2 $ 2 $ 2 Interest cost 3 4 5 — — — Expected return on plan assets — (4) (6) — — — Amortization of prior service cost (1) — — — — — Amortization of net loss — — 1 — — — Net periodic benefit cost 2 — 7 2 2 2 Settlement (gain) loss (1) 2 — — — — Total benefit cost $ 1 $ 2 $ 7 $ 2 $ 2 $ 2 (1) The Company froze its pension plan effective January 1, 2021, resulting in no service cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Service cost is classified as general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. All other components of total benefit cost (benefit) are classified as other income (loss), net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company froze its pension plan effective January 1, 2021, resulting in no service cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The weighted average interest crediting rate for the pension plan is 6.0%. The Company valued its pension assets and pension liabilities prior to settlement activity resulting in a $17 million net pension asset as of December 31, 2022. As a result of settlement accounting, the Company recorded a $2 million reduction to its net pension asset with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income related to the lump sum distributions to plan participants. The Company recognized a $2 million non-cash settlement loss related to $8 million of lump sum payments from the pension plan for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result of settlement accounting requirements, the Company recorded a $4 million reduction to its net pension liability as of December 31, 2021, with a corresponding reduction to accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company had no material settlement gains or losses in 2020. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net actuarial gain arising during the year $ 30 $ 5 $ 4 $ 2 Amortization of prior service cost (2) — — — Amortization of net loss — 1 — — Settlements (1) 5 — — Less: Tax effect (1) — — — — Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income $ 27 $ 11 $ 4 $ 2 (1) Other postretirement benefit tax effects of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and pension and other postretirement benefit tax effects of $2.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021, were netted against a valuation allowance and therefore included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was an $8 million gain ($7 million net of tax) and a $23 million loss ($18 million net of tax), respectively, related to the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $31 million was classified from accumulated other comprehensive income, primarily driven by actuarial gains and settlements. The assumptions used in the measurement of the Company’s benefit obligations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2022 2021 2022 2021 Discount rate 5.60 % 3.20 % 5.50 % 3.10 % Rate of compensation increase (1) n/a 3.50 % n/a n/a (1) Rate of compensation increase for other postretirement benefits is disclosed as “n/a” as the benefit is the same for all employees and not based on compensation. The assumptions used in the measurement of the Company’s net periodic benefit cost for 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Discount rate 5.60 % 3.20 % 3.70 % 3.10 % 2.80 % 3.50 % Expected return on plan assets 0.10 % 0.10 % 6.50 % n/a n/a n/a Rate of compensation increase (1) n/a 3.50 % 3.50 % n/a n/a n/a (1) Rate of compensation increase for other postretirement benefits is disclosed as “n/a” as the benefit is the same for all employees and not based on compensation. The expected return on plan assets for the various benefit plans is based upon a review of the historical returns experienced, combined with the future expected returns based upon the asset allocation strategy employed. The plans seek to achieve an adequate return to fund the obligations in a manner consistent with the federal standards of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and with a prudent level of diversification. For measurement purposes, the following trend rates were assumed for 2022 and 2021: 2022 2021 Health care cost trend assumed for next year 7.0 % 6.5 % Rate to which the cost trend is assumed to decline 5.0 % 5.0 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2040 2038 Pension Payments and Asset Management In 2022, the Company made no contributions to its pension plan and less than $1 million to its other postretirement benefit plan and does not expect to make any additional contributions to its pension plan through the completion of the plan termination. The Company has adjusted actuarial expectations based on an estimated timeline of approvals and completion. Through December 31, 2022, the Company distributed $38 million of the plan’s assets in the form of lump sum payments in connection with a limited distribution window provided to all active and former employee participants as part of the plan termination process. For those plan participants who did not elect the lump sum payment option, the Company expects to transfer the remaining pension obligation from the plan to a qualified insurance company by June 2023. The following timeline reflects the Company’s current estimate of benefit payments to be made and the timing thereof, including projected future interest costs: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits (in millions) (in millions) 2023 $ 58 2023 $ — 2024 — 2024 — 2025 — 2025 1 2026 — 2026 1 2027 — 2027 1 Years 2028-2032 — Years 2028-2032 4 The Company’s overall investment strategy has been to provide an adequate pool of assets to support both the long-term growth of plan assets and to ensure adequate liquidity exists for the near-term payment of benefit obligations to participants, retirees and beneficiaries. The Benefits Administration Committee (“BAC”) of the Company, appointed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, currently administers the Company’s pension plan assets. In anticipation of the pension plan termination, the BAC has adjusted the asset-class mix to more investment grade fixed income assets to mitigate equity market risk, while also preserving cash to satisfy potential interim plan termination-related expenditures. The table below presents the allocation ranges targeted by the BAC and the actual weighted-average asset allocation of the Company’s pension plan as of December 31, 2022, by asset category. The asset allocation targets are subject to change and the BAC allows for its actual allocations to deviate from target as a result of current and anticipated market conditions. Plan assets are periodically balanced whenever the allocation to any asset class falls outside of the specified range. Pension Plan Asset Allocations Asset category: Target Range Actual Fixed income (1) 70 - 100% 97 % Cash (2) 0 - 30% 3 % Total 100 % 100 % (1) Includes fixed income pension plan assets in the table below. (2) Includes Cash and cash equivalent pension plan assets in the table below. Utilizing the fair value hierarchy described in Note 8 , the Company’s fair value measurement of pension plan assets as of December 31, 2022 is as follows: (in millions) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Measured within fair value hierarchy Fixed income (1) 69 69 — — Cash and cash equivalents 2 2 — — Total plan assets at fair value $ 71 $ 71 $ — $ — (1) U.S. Treasury Notes. Utilizing the fair value hierarchy described in Note 8 , the Company’s fair value measurement of pension plan assets at December 31, 2021 was as follows: (in millions) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Measured within fair value hierarchy Fixed income (1) 90 90 — — Cash and cash equivalents 24 24 — — Total plan assets at fair value $ 114 $ 114 $ — $ — (1) U.S. Treasury Notes The Company’s pension plan assets that are classified as Level 1 are the investments comprised of either cash or investments in open-ended mutual funds which produce a daily net asset value that is validated with a sufficient level of observable activity to support classification of the fair value measurement as Level 1. No concentration of risk arising within or across categories of plan assets exists due to any significant investments in a single entity, industry, country or investment fund.

Long-Term Incentive Compensatio

Long-Term Incentive Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION The Southwestern Energy Company 2022 Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) was approved by stockholders on May 19, 2022 and replaced the Southwestern Energy Company 2013 Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan terminated on May 20, 2022, and no new awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan. The 2022 Plan provides for the compensation of officers, key employees and eligible non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2022 Plan provides for grants of options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, cash-based awards and other equity-based or equity-related awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors that, in the aggregate, do not exceed 40,000,000 shares, minus any shares awarded under the 2013 Plan after March 21, 2022 through May 20, 2022. The types of incentives that may be awarded are comprehensive and are intended to enable the Company’s Board of Directors to structure the most appropriate incentives and to address changes in income tax laws which may be enacted over the term of the 2022 Plan. The Company’s current long-term incentive compensation plans consist of a combination of stock-based awards that derive their value directly or indirectly from the Company’s common stock price, and cash-based awards that are fixed in amount but are subject to meeting annual performance thresholds. The Company recorded the following costs related to long-term incentive compensation for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Long-term incentive compensation – expensed $ 30 $ 30 $ 17 Long-term incentive compensation – capitalized 20 18 7 Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s stock-based compensation is classified as either equity or liability awards in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of an equity-classified award is determined at the grant date and is amortized to general and administrative expense and capitalized expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense over the vesting period of the award. A portion of this general and administrative expense is capitalized into natural gas and oil properties, included in property and equipment. Generally, stock options granted to employees and directors vest ratably over three years from the grant date and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The Company issues shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees and directors which generally vest over three years. Restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options granted to participants under the 2022 Plan immediately vest upon death, disability or retirement (subject to a minimum of three years of service). To the extent no provision is made in connection with a “change in control” (as defined in the 2022 Plan) for the assumption of awards previously granted under the 2022 Plan substitution of such awards for new awards, then (i) outstanding time-based awards will become fully vested, and (ii) each outstanding performance-based award will vest with respect to the number of shares of common stock underlying such award or the amount of cash underlying the award eligible to vest based on performance during the performance period that includes the date of the change in control, prorated for the number of days which have elapsed during the performance period prior to the change in control. To the extent an award is assumed or substituted in connection with the change in control, if a participant is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the participant resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in the 2022 Plan) within 12 months following a change in control, then (i) each time-based award will become fully vested, and (ii) each outstanding performance-based award will vest based on performance during the performance period that includes the date of the change in control, prorated for the number of days which have elapsed during the performance period prior to such termination. The Company issues performance units which have historically vested over three years to employees. The performance units granted in 2020, 2021 and 2022 cliff-vest at the end of three years. As further discussed in Note 3 , in February of 2021 and 2020, the Company notified employees of workforce reduction plans as a result of strategic realignments of the Company’s organizational structure. Employees affected by these events were offered a severance package, which included a one-time payment depending on length of service and, if applicable, the current value of unvested long-term incentive awards that were forfeited. Stock-based compensation costs recognized prior to the cancellation as either general and administrative expense or capitalized expense were reversed and the severance payments were subsequently recognized as restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 on the consolidated statements of operations. Equity-Classified Awards The Company recognized the following amounts in employee equity-classified stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Equity-classified awards – expensed $ 4 $ 2 $ 3 Equity-classified awards – capitalized $ 3 $ — $ 1 Equity-Classified Stock Options The Company recorded no compensation costs related to equity-classified stock options for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The performance units granted from 2019 through 2021 were accounted for as liability-classified awards as further described below. In 2022, two types of performance units were granted. The first type was liability-classified given the awards are payable in cash as prescribed under the compensation agreements. The second type of awards granted during 2022 have been accounted for as equity-classified awards given the intention to settle in stock and accordingly are recognized at their fair value as of the grant date and amortized throughout the vesting period. The 2022 performance units include a market condition based on relative TSR (as defined below). The fair values of the market conditions were calculated by Monte Carlo models as of the grant date. As of December 31, 2022, there was $4 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the Company’s unvested equity-classified performance units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average of 2.1 years. There were no costs recognized for the year ended December 31, 2021 associated with equity-classified performance units, and the amounts recognized in 2020 were immaterial. (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Performance units – general and administrative expense $ 1 $ — $ — Performance units – capitalized expense $ 1 $ — $ — The Company recorded $3 million deferred tax assets related to equity-classified performance units for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $2 million and less than $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table summarizes equity-classified performance unit activity to be paid out in Company stock for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and provides information for unvested units as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: 2022 2021 2020 Number of Units (1) Weighted Number of Units (1) Weighted Number of Units (1) Weighted (in thousands) (in thousands) (in thousands) Unvested units at January 1 — $ — — $ — 178 $ 10.47 Granted 850 $ 6.04 — $ — — $ — Vested — $ — — $ — (178) $ 10.47 Forfeited (33) $ 6.04 — $ — — $ — Unvested shares at December 31 817 $ 6.04 — $ — — $ — (1) These amounts reflect the number of performance units granted in thousands. The actual payout of shares ranged from a minimum of zero shares to a maximum of two shares per unit contingent upon TSR. The performance units had a three-year vesting term and the actual disbursement of shares, if any, was determined during the first quarter following the end of the three-year vesting period. Liability-Classified Awards The Company recognized the following amounts in employee liability-classified stock-based compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Liability-classified stock-based compensation – expensed $ 20 $ 24 $ 12 Liability-classified stock-based compensation awards – capitalized $ 11 $ 14 $ 4 Liability-Classified Restricted Stock Units In the first quarter of each year beginning with 2018, the Company granted restricted stock units that vest over a period of four years and are payable in either cash or shares at the option of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The liability-classified awards granted in 2021 vest over a period of three years. The Company has accounted for these as liability-classified awards, and accordingly changes in the market value of the instruments will be recorded to general and administrative expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the award. The restricted stock units granted in 2022 were classified as equity awards. The Company recorded the following compensation costs related to liability-classified restricted stock unit grants for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Restricted stock units – general and administrative expense $ 9 $ 12 $ 5 Restricted stock units – capitalized expense $ 6 $ 8 $ 2 The Company also recorded deferred tax liabilities of $1 million related to liability-classified restricted stock units for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to deferred tax assets of $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2022, there was $8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to liability-classified restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 year. The amount of unrecognized compensation cost for liability-classified awards will fluctuate over time as they are marked to market. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity to be paid out in cash or Company stock for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and provides information for unvested units as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: 2022 2021 2020 Number Weighted Average Fair Value Number Weighted Average Fair Value Number Weighted Average Fair Value (in thousands) (in thousands) (in thousands) Unvested units at January 1 7,937 $ 4.08 11,613 $ 2.67 12,992 $ 2.42 Granted — $ — 1,486 $ 4.23 6,172 $ 1.41 Vested (3,817) $ 4.48 (4,522) $ 3.40 (3,960) $ 1.43 Forfeited (170) $ 6.83 (640) (1) $ 4.56 (3,591) (2) $ 2.67 Unvested units at December 31 3,950 $ 4.81 7,937 $ 4.08 11,613 $ 2.67 (1) Includes 360,253 units related to the reduction in workforce for the year ended December 31, 2021. (2) Includes 2,010,196 units related to the reduction in workforce for the year ended December 31, 2020. Liability-Classified Performance Units In each year beginning with 2018, the Company granted performance units that vest at the end of, or over a three-year period and are payable in either cash or shares. The performance units granted in 2019 and 2020 vest over a three-year period and are payable in cash as prescribed under the compensation agreements and have been accounted for as liability-classified awards. The Company granted two types of performance units in 2021 that vest over a three-year period. One type is payable in cash as prescribed under the compensation agreements and the other type is payable in either cash or stock at the option of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Both award types have been accounted for as liability-classified awards. The Company granted two types of performance units in 2022 that vest over a three-year period. One type is payable in cash as prescribed under the compensation agreements and has been liability-classified while the other type is equity-classified as further discussed above. Changes in the fair market value of the instruments for liability-classified awards will be recorded to general and administrative expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the awards. The performance units granted in 2019 include performance conditions based on return on average capital employed and two market conditions, one based on absolute TSR and the other on relative TSR. The performance units granted in 2020 include a performance condition based on return on average capital employed and a market condition based on relative TSR. In 2021, of the two types of performance units that were granted, the first type of award includes a performance condition based on return on capital employed and a performance condition based on a reinvestment rate, and the second type of award includes one market condition based on relative TSR. The liability classified performance units granted in 2022 include performance conditions based on return of capital employed and reinvestment rate. The fair values of all market conditions discussed above are calculated by Monte Carlo models on a quarterly basis. The Company recorded the following compensation costs related to liability-classified performance unit grants for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Liability-classified performance units – general and administrative expense $ 11 $ 12 $ 7 Liability-classified performance units – capitalized expense $ 5 $ 6 $ 2 The Company also recorded deferred tax assets of $4 million related to liability-classified performance units for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, compared to a deferred tax asset of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2022, there was $7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to liability-classified performance units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The amount of unrecognized compensation cost for liability-classified awards will fluctuate over time as they are marked to market. The final value of the performance unit awards is contingent upon the Company’s actual performance against the Performance Measures. The following table summarizes liability-classified performance unit activity to be paid out in cash or stock for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and provides information for unvested units as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020: 2022 2021 2020 Number Weighted Average Number Weighted Average Number Weighted Average (in thousands) (in thousands) (in thousands) Unvested units at January 1 9,515 $ 2.88 8,699 $ 2.57 5,142 $ 2.42 Granted 3,798 $ 1.00 3,580 $ 4.14 6,172 $ 1.41 Vested (1,910) $ 6.45 (2,020) $ 4.05 — $ — Forfeited (421) $ 6.70 (744) $ 3.40 (2,615) (1) $ 3.05 Unvested units at December 31 10,982 $ 2.25 9,515 $ 2.88 8,699 $ 2.57 (1) Includes 518,450 units related to the reduction in workforce for the year ended December 31, 2020. Cash-Based Compensation Performance Cash Awards In 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted performance cash awards that vest over a four-year period and are payable in cash on an annual basis. The value of each unit of the award equal one dollar. The Company recognizes the cost of these awards as general and administrative expense, operating expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the awards. The performance cash awards granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 include a performance condition determined annually by the Company. For all years, the performance measure is a targeted discretionary cash flow amount. If the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the threshold was not met, the amount for that vesting period will not vest and will be cancelled. The Company recorded the following compensation costs related to performance cash awards for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Performance cash awards – general and administrative expense $ 6 $ 4 $ 2 Performance cash awards – capitalized expense $ 6 $ 4 $ 2 The Company also recorded deferred tax assets of $1 million related to performance cash awards for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2022, there was $29 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance cash awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average 2.8 years. The final value of the performance cash awards is contingent upon the Company's actual performance against these performance measures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATIONThe Company’s reportable business segments have been identified based on the differences in products or services provided. Revenues for the E&P segment are derived from the production and sale of natural gas and liquids. The Marketing segment generates revenue through the marketing of both Company and third-party produced natural gas and liquids volumes. Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 . Management evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income, defined as operating revenues less operating costs. Income before income taxes, for the purpose of reconciling the operating income amount shown below to consolidated income before income taxes, is the sum of operating income (loss), interest expense, gain (loss) on derivatives, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt and other income (loss). The “Other” column includes items not related to the Company’s reportable segments, including real estate and corporate items.

Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Industries Disclosures [Abstract]
Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures (Unaudited)	SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES (UNAUDITED) The Company’s operating natural gas and oil properties are located solely in the United States. The Company also has licenses to properties in Canada, the development of which is subject to an indefinite moratorium. See “Our Operations – Other – New Brunswick, Canada” in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Annual Report. Costs Incurred in Natural Gas and Oil Exploration and Development The table below sets forth capitalized costs incurred in natural gas and oil property acquisition, exploration and development activities: (in millions, except per Mcfe amounts) 2022 2021 2020 Unproved property acquisition costs $ 202 $ 139 $ 124 (1) Exploration costs — — — Development costs 2,021 984 784 Capitalized costs incurred $ 2,223 $ 1,123 $ 908 Full cost pool amortization per Mcfe $ 0.67 $ 0.42 $ 0.38 (1) Excluded $90 million of unevaluated property acquisition costs associated with the non-cash Montage Merger. Capitalized interest is included as part of the cost of natural gas and oil properties. The Company capitalized $121 million, $97 million and $88 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on the Company’s weighted average cost of borrowings used to finance expenditures. In addition to capitalized interest, the Company capitalized internal costs totaling $85 million, $64 million and $56 million during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were directly related to the acquisition, exploration and development of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties. Results of Operations from Natural Gas and Oil Producing Activities The table below sets forth the results of operations from natural gas and oil producing activities: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Sales $ 10,577 $ 4,640 $ 1,348 Production (lifting) costs (1,969) (1,304) (866) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (1,169) (537) (348) Impairment of natural gas and oil properties — — (2,825) 7,439 2,799 (2,691) Provision for income taxes (1) — — — Results of operations (2) $ 7,439 $ 2,799 $ (2,691) (1) Prior to the recognition of a valuation allowance, in 2020 the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $624 million. (2) Results of operations exclude the gain (loss) on unsettled commodity derivative instruments. See Note 6 . The results of operations shown above exclude general and administrative expenses and interest expense and are not necessarily indicative of the contribution made by the Company’s natural gas and oil operations to its consolidated operating results. Income tax expense is calculated by applying the statutory tax rates to the revenues less costs, including depreciation, depletion and amortization, and after giving effect to permanent differences and tax credits. Natural Gas and Oil Reserve Quantities The Company engaged the services of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., or NSAI, an independent petroleum engineering firm, to audit the reserves estimated by the Company’s reservoir engineers. In conducting its audit, the engineers and geologists of NSAI studied the Company’s major properties in detail and independently developed reserve estimates. NSAI’s audit consists primarily of substantive testing, which includes a detailed review of the Company’s major properties, and accounted for approximately 99% of the present worth of the Company’s total proved reserves as of December 31, 2022. For 2021 and 2020, NSAI’s audit accounted for 99% and 97%, respectively, of the then-present worth of the Company’s total proved properties. A reserve audit is not the same as a financial audit, and a reserve audit is less rigorous in nature than a reserve report prepared by an independent petroleum engineering firm containing its own estimate of reserves. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise, and the Company’s reserve estimates are generally based upon extrapolation of historical production trends, historical prices of natural gas and crude oil and analogy to similar properties and volumetric calculations. Accordingly, the Company’s estimates are expected to change, and such changes could be material and occur in the near term as future information becomes available. The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s proved natural gas, oil and NGL reserves for 2020, 2021 and 2022, all of which were located in the United States: Natural Gas (Bcf) Oil (MBbls) NGL (MBbls) Total (Bcfe) December 31, 2019 8,630 72,925 608,761 12,721 Revisions of previous estimates due to price (2,143) (32,507) (338,639) (4,370) Revisions of previous estimates other than price 763 3,816 106,444 1,424 Extensions, discoveries and other additions 714 135 4,371 741 Production (694) (5,141) (25,927) (880) Acquisition of reserves in place (1) 1,911 18,796 55,141 2,354 Disposition of reserves in place — — — — December 31, 2020 9,181 58,024 410,151 11,990 Revisions of previous estimates due to price (2) 501 1,414 (15,525) 415 Revisions of previous estimates other than price (3) 1,402 17,384 127,197 2,270 Extensions, discoveries and other additions (3) 1,389 9,381 85,901 1,961 Production (1,015) (6,610) (30,940) (1,240) Acquisition of reserves in place (4) 5,750 247 180 5,753 Disposition of reserves in place (1) (61) — (1) December 31, 2021 17,207 79,779 576,964 21,148 Revisions of previous estimates due to price 61 (107) (828) 55 Revisions of previous estimates other than price (5) (458) (2,149) 40,138 (230) Extensions, discoveries and other additions 2,106 10,877 42,719 2,428 Production (1,520) (4,993) (30,446) (1,733) Acquisition of reserves in place — — — — Disposition of reserves in place (34) (21) (1,411) (43) December 31, 2022 17,362 83,386 627,136 21,625 (1) The 2020 acquisition amounts are primarily associated with the Montage Merger. (2) The 15,525 MBbl reduction in NGL volumes for 2021 is the result of changes to the Company’s five-year development plan and elections to retain ethane in the natural gas stream in line with ethane transportation contracts. This election is driven by commodity pricing, whereby higher natural gas pricing relative to ethane pricing creates a more economically favorable position. (3) Includes 1,155 Bcf, 15 MBbls and 126 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved reserves, respectively, that were previously presented as “Extensions, discoveries and other additions” which have been reclassified to “Revisions of previous estimate other than price” to conform with current year presentation for infill reserves. (4) The 2021 acquisition amounts are primarily associated with the Indigo Merger and the GEPH Merger. (5) Includes performance revisions of a positive 272 Bcf, negative 681 MBbls and positive 41,490 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved reserves, respectively. Includes additions associated with infill development of 303 Bcf, 5,254 MBbls, and 40,423 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved reserves, respectively. Includes downward revisions from change in development plans of 1,033 Bcf, 6,722 MBbls, and 41,775 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved reserves, respectively. Natural Gas (Bcf) Oil (MBbls) NGL (MBbls) Total (Bcfe) Proved developed reserves as of: December 31, 2020 6,342 33,563 276,548 8,203 December 31, 2021 9,308 40,930 296,832 11,335 December 31, 2022 9,793 41,138 350,821 12,145 Proved undeveloped reserves as of: December 31, 2020 2,839 24,461 133,603 3,787 December 31, 2021 7,899 38,849 280,132 9,813 December 31, 2022 7,569 42,248 276,315 9,480 The Company’s estimated proved natural gas, oil and NGL reserves were 21,625 Bcfe at December 31, 2022, compared to 21,148 Bcfe at December 31, 2021. The Company’s reserves increased in 2022, compared to 2021, as extensions and discoveries, positive performance revisions, and positive price revisions were only partially offset by production, changes in the development plan, and dispositions. The Company’s reserves increased in 2021, as compared to 2020, as acquisitions, additions and positive price and performance revisions were only partially offset by production and disposition. The following table summarizes the changes in reserves for 2020, 2021 and 2022: (in Bcfe) Appalachia Haynesville Other (1) Total December 31, 2019 12,720 — 1 12,721 Net revisions Price revisions (4,370) — — (4,370) Performance and production revisions 1,424 — — 1,424 Total net revisions (2,946) — — (2,946) Extensions, discoveries and other additions Proved developed 267 — — 267 Proved undeveloped 474 — — 474 Total reserve additions 741 — — 741 Production (880) — — (880) Acquisition of reserves in place 2,354 — — 2,354 Disposition of reserves in place — — — — December 31, 2020 11,989 — 1 11,990 Net revisions Price revisions 415 — — 415 Performance and production revisions (2) 2,271 — (1) 2,270 Total net revisions 2,686 — (1) 2,685 Extensions, discoveries and other additions Proved developed (2) 197 — — 197 Proved undeveloped (2) 1,764 — — 1,764 Total reserve additions 1,961 — — 1,961 Production (1,108) (132) — (1,240) Acquisition of reserves in place — 5,753 — 5,753 Disposition of reserves in place (1) — — (1) December 31, 2021 15,527 5,621 — 21,148 Net revisions Price revisions (4) 59 — 55 Performance and production revisions (3) (33) (197) — (230) Total net revisions (37) (138) — (175) Extensions, discoveries and other additions Proved developed 235 171 — 406 Proved undeveloped 1,038 984 — 2,022 Total reserve additions 1,273 1,155 — 2,428 Production (1,054) (679) — (1,733) Acquisition of reserves in place — — — — Disposition of reserves in place (43) — — (43) December 31, 2022 15,666 5,959 — 21,625 (1) Other includes properties outside of Appalachia and Haynesville. (2) Includes 158 Bcf, 2 MBbls and 14 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved developed reserves, respectively, that were previously presented as “Extensions, discoveries and other additions” which have been reclassified to “Performance and production revisions” to conform with current year presentation for infill reserves. Includes 997 Bcf, 13 MBbls and 112 MBbls of natural gas, oil and NGL proved undeveloped reserves, respectively, that were previously presented as “Extensions, discoveries and other additions” which have been reclassified to “Performance and production revisions” to conform with current year presentation for infill reserves. (3) Includes Appalachia reserves with positive performance revisions of 381 Bcf, additions associated with infill development of 577 Bcf, and downward revisions from changes in development plans of 991 Bcf. Includes Haynesville reserves with positive performance revisions of 136 Bcf and downward revisions from changes in development plans of 333 Bcf. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no proved undeveloped reserves that had a negative present value on a 10% discounted basis. The Company’s December 31, 2021 reserves included no proved undeveloped reserves that had a negative present value on a 10% discounted basis. The Company’s December 31, 2020 proved reserves included 2,437 Bcfe of proved undeveloped reserves from 138 locations that had a positive present value on an undiscounted basis in compliance with proved reserve requirements, but that have a negative $207 million present value when discounted at 10%. The Company has no reserves from synthetic gas, synthetic oil or nonrenewable natural resources intended to be upgraded into synthetic gas or oil. The Company used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of methodologies in determining estimates of material properties, including performance and test date analysis, offset statistical analogy of performance data, volumetric evaluation, including analysis of petrophysical parameters (including porosity, net pay, fluid saturations (i.e., water, oil and gas) and permeability) in combination with estimated reservoir parameters (including reservoir temperature and pressure, formation depth and formation volume factors), geological analysis, including structure and isopach maps and seismic analysis, including review of 2-D and 3-D data to ascertain faults, closure and other factors. Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows The following standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved natural gas, oil and NGL reserves as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are calculated after income taxes, discounted using a 10% annual discount rate and do not purport to present the fair market value of the Company’s proved gas, oil and NGL reserves: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Future cash inflows $ 132,037 $ 75,314 $ 17,997 Future production costs (29,632) (23,235) (11,969) Future development costs (1) (7,458) (6,032) (1,924) Future income tax expense (19,323) (8,135) — Future net cash flows 75,624 37,912 4,104 10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows (38,036) (19,181) (2,257) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 37,588 $ 18,731 $ 1,847 (1) Includes abandonment costs. Under the standardized measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying an average price from the first day of each month from the previous 12 months, adjusted for known contractual changes, to the estimated future production of year-end proved reserves. Prices used for the standardized measure above were as follows: 2022 2021 2020 Natural gas (per MMBtu) $ 6.36 $ 3.60 $ 1.98 Oil (per Bbl) 93.67 66.56 39.57 NGLs (per Bbl) 34.35 28.65 10.27 Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future production and development costs based on year-end costs to determine pre-tax cash inflows. Future income taxes were computed by applying the year-end statutory rate to the excess of pre-tax cash inflows over the Company’s tax basis in the associated proved gas and oil properties after giving effect to permanent differences and tax credits. Following is an analysis of changes in the standardized measure during 2022, 2021 and 2020: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Standardized measure, beginning of year $ 18,731 $ 1,847 $ 3,700 Sales and transfers of natural gas and oil produced, net of production costs (8,611) (3,332) (478) Net changes in prices and production costs 23,198 10,417 (2,720) Extensions, discoveries, and other additions, net of future production and development costs 4,976 3,183 81 Acquisition of reserves in place 1 6,499 443 Sales of reserves in place (49) (1) — Revisions of previous quantity estimates (400) 596 (987) Net change in income taxes (5,158) (3,689) 35 Changes in estimated future development costs (709) 137 1,241 Previously estimated development costs incurred during the year 1,208 419 624 Changes in production rates (timing) and other 2,159 2,470 (466) Accretion of discount 2,242 185 374 Standardized measure, end of year $ 37,588 $ 18,731 $ 1,847

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. The comparability of certain 2022 amounts to prior periods could be impacted as a result of the Montage Merger (as defined below) completed on November 13, 2020, the Indigo Merger (as defined below) completed on September 1, 2021, and the GEPH Merger (as defined below) on December 31, 2021. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southwestern and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Major Customers	Major Customers The Company sells the vast majority of its E&P natural gas, oil and NGL production to third-party customers through its marketing subsidiary. Customers include major energy companies, utilities and industrial purchasers of natural gas. For the year ended December 31, 2022 one purchaser accounted for 17% of annual revenues. A default on this account could have a material impact on the Company, but the Company does not believe that there is a material risk of a default. For the year ended December 31, 2021, one purchaser accounted for 12% of annual revenues. No other purchasers accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The Company believes that the loss of any one customer would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its natural gas, oil and NGL production.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined by the Company as short-term, highly liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less and deposits in money market mutual funds that are readily convertible into cash. Management considers cash and cash equivalents to have minimal credit and market risk as the Company monitors the credit status of the financial institutions holding its cash and marketable securities. The Company had $50 million and $28 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Certain of the Company’s cash accounts are zero-balance controlled disbursement accounts. The Company presents the outstanding checks written against these zero-balance accounts as a component of accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Outstanding checks included as a component of accounts payable totaled $100 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Property, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization	Property, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Natural Gas and Oil Properties . The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for costs related to the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties. The following table shows the capitalized costs of natural gas and oil properties and the related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization as of December 31, 2022 and 2021: (in millions) 2022 2021 Proved properties $ 33,546 $ 31,400 Unproved properties 2,217 2,231 Total capitalized costs 35,763 33,631 Less: Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (25,033) (23,884) Net capitalized costs $ 10,730 $ 9,747 Under the full cost method of accounting, all such costs (productive and nonproductive), including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly attributable to these activities, are capitalized on a country-by-country basis and amortized over the estimated lives of the properties using the units-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test that limits such pooled costs, net of applicable deferred taxes, to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved natural gas, oil and NGL reserves discounted at 10% (standardized measure). Any costs in excess of the ceiling are written off as a non-cash expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher natural gas, oil and NGL prices may subsequently increase the ceiling. Companies using the full cost method are required to use the average quoted price from the first day of each month from the previous 12 months, including the impact of derivatives designated for hedge accounting, to calculate the ceiling value of their reserves. Prices used to calculate the ceiling value of reserves were as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Natural gas (per MMBtu) $ 6.36 $ 3.60 $ 1.98 Oil (per Bbl) $ 93.67 $ 66.56 $ 39.57 NGLs (per Bbl) $ 34.35 $ 28.65 $ 10.27 Using the average quoted prices above, adjusted for market differentials, the net book value of the Company’s United States natural gas and oil properties did not exceed the ceiling amount at December 31, 2022 or 2021. The net book value of its natural gas and oil properties exceeded the ceiling amount in each quarter of 2020 resulting in a total non-cash full cost ceiling test impairment of $2,825 million. The Company had no derivative positions that were designated for hedge accounting as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Future decreases in market prices, as well as changes in production rates, levels of reserves, evaluation costs excluded from amortization, future development costs and production costs may result in future non-cash impairments to the Company’s natural gas and oil properties. No impairment expense was recorded in 2022, 2021 or 2020 in relation to the Company’s natural gas and oil properties acquired from Montage. These properties were recorded at fair value as of November 13, 2020, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement . In the fourth quarter of 2020, pursuant to SEC guidance, the Company determined that the fair value of the properties acquired at the closing of the Montage Merger clearly exceeded the related full-cost ceiling limitation beyond a reasonable doubt and received a waiver from the SEC to exclude the properties acquired in the Montage Merger from the ceiling test calculation. This waiver was granted for all reporting periods through and including the quarter ending September 30, 2021, as long as the Company could continue to demonstrate that the fair value of properties acquired clearly exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation beyond a reasonable doubt in each reporting period. As part of the waiver received from the SEC, the Company was required to disclose what the full cost ceiling test impairment amounts for all periods presented in each applicable quarterly and annual filing would have been if the waiver had not been granted. The fair value of the properties acquired in the Montage Merger was based on future commodity market pricing for natural gas and oil pricing existing at the date of the Montage Merger, and management affirmed that there has not been a material decline to the fair value of these acquired assets since the Montage Merger. The properties acquired in the Montage Merger had an unamortized cost at December 31, 2020 of $1,087 million. Had management not received the waiver from the SEC, the impairment charge recorded would have been an additional $539 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Due to the improvement in commodity prices during 2021, no impairment charge would have been recorded in 2021 even when including the Montage natural gas and oil properties in the full cost ceiling test. Costs associated with unevaluated properties are excluded from the amortization base until the properties are evaluated or impairment is indicated. The costs associated with unevaluated leasehold acreage and related seismic data, wells currently drilling and related capitalized interest are initially excluded from the amortization base. Leasehold costs are either transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling a well on the lease or are assessed at least annually for possible impairment or reduction in value. The Company’s decision to withhold costs from amortization and the timing of the transfer of those costs into the amortization base involves judgment and may be subject to changes over time based on several factors, including drilling plans, availability of capital, project economics and drilling results from adjacent acreage. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a total of $2,217 million of costs excluded from the amortization base, all of which related to its properties in the United States. Natural gas and oil properties not subject to amortization represent investments in unproved properties and major development projects in which the Company owns an interest. These unproved property costs include unevaluated costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and unevaluated costs associated with wells in progress. The table below sets forth the composition of net unevaluated costs excluded from amortization as of December 31, 2022: (in millions) 2022 2021 2020 Prior Total Property acquisition costs $ 86 $ 764 $ 71 $ 973 $ 1,894 Exploration and development costs 12 11 8 14 45 Capitalized interest 118 75 48 37 278 $ 216 $ 850 $ 127 $ 1,024 $ 2,217 Of the total net unevaluated costs excluded from amortization as of December 31, 2022, approximately $1.1 billion is related to undeveloped properties in Appalachia which were acquired in 2014 and 2015, $111 million is related to Montage properties acquired in November 2020 and approximately $778 million is related to the acquisition of undeveloped properties in Haynesville which were acquired in September 2021 and December 2021. Additionally, the Company has approximately $278 million of unevaluated capitalized interest. The Company has $46 million of unevaluated costs related to wells in progress (included within the Appalachia, Montage and Haynesville amounts above). The remaining costs excluded from amortization are related to properties which are not individually significant and on which the evaluation process has not been completed. The timing and amount of property acquisition and seismic costs included in the amortization computation will depend on the location and timing of drilling wells, results of drilling and other assessments. The Company is, therefore, unable to estimate when these costs will be included in the amortization computation. Capitalized Interest . Interest is capitalized on the cost of unevaluated natural gas and oil properties that are excluded from amortization. Asset Retirement Obligations . Natural gas and oil properties require expenditures to plug and abandon the wells and reclaim the associated pads and other supporting infrastructure when the wells are no longer producing. An asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset such as oil and gas properties is recognized as a liability in the period incurred or when it becomes determinable, with an associated increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the asset retirement cost, is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. The asset retirement obligation is recorded at its estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Other Property and Equipment. The Company’s non-full cost pool assets include water facilities, gathering systems, technology infrastructure, land, buildings and other equipment with useful lives that range from 3 to 30 years. The estimated useful lives of those assets depreciated under the straight-line method are as follows: Water facilities 5 – 10 years Gathering systems 15 – 25 years Technology infrastructure 3 – 7 years Drilling rigs and equipment 3 years Buildings and leasehold improvements 10 – 30 years Other property, plant and equipment is comprised of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Water facilities $ 238 $ 237 Gathering systems 56 56 Technology infrastructure 135 135 Drilling rigs and equipment 31 28 Land, buildings and leasehold improvements 16 16 Other 51 37 Less: Accumulated depreciation and impairment (354) (318) Total $ 173 $ 191 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . The carrying value of non-full cost pool long-lived assets is evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured as the amount that the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. The company did not recognize an impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 and recognized impairments of $6 million and $5 million related to non-core assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Intangible Assets . The carrying value of intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $43 million and $48 million, respectively, in marketing-related intangible assets, of which $38 million and $43 million were included in Other long-term assets on the respective consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortized $5 million of its marketing-related intangible asset in 2022, $8 million in 2021 and $9 million in 2020. The Company expects to amortize $5 million in 2023 and in each of the four years thereafter.
Leases	Leases The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception or as a result of an acquisition. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized on the balance sheet at commencement at an amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate of the lease is not always readily determinable, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments based on information available at commencement date, such as the initial lease term. Operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not have any finance leases as of December 31, 2022. By policy election, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis, and variable lease payments are recognized in the period as incurred. Certain leases contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company has chosen to account for most of these leases as a single lease component instead of bifurcating lease and non-lease components. However, for compression service leases and fleet vehicle leases, the lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. The Company leases drilling rigs, pressure pumping equipment, vehicles, office space, certain water transportation lines and other equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2036. Certain lease agreements include options to renew the lease, early terminate the lease or purchase the underlying asset(s). The Company determines the lease term at the lease commencement date as the non-cancelable period of the lease, including options to extend or terminate the lease when such an option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s water transportation lines are the only leases with renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. These renewal options are reflected in the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rate expected to be in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize the income tax effect of reporting certain transactions in different years for income tax and financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage defined commodity price risks and does not use them for speculative trading purposes. The Company uses derivative instruments to financially protect sales of natural gas, oil and NGLs. In addition, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage exposure to unfavorable interest rate changes. Since the Company does not designate its derivatives for hedge accounting treatment, gains and losses resulting from the settlement of derivative contracts have been recognized in gain (loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations when the contracts expire and the related physical transactions of the underlying commodity are settled. Additionally, changes in the fair value of the unsettled portion of derivative contracts are also recognized in gain (loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reportable period. The diluted earnings per share calculation adds to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding: the incremental shares that would have been outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options, the vesting of unvested restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units and performance units. An antidilutive impact is an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of certain securities.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based CompensationThe Company accounts for stock-based compensation transactions using a fair value method and recognizes an amount equal to the fair value of the stock options and stock-based payment cost in either the consolidated statement of operations or capitalizes the cost into natural gas and oil properties included in property and equipment. Costs are capitalized when they are directly related to the acquisition, exploration and development activities of the Company’s natural gas and oil properties.
Liability-Classified Awards	Liability-Classified Awards The Company classifies certain awards that can or will be settled in cash as liability awards. The fair value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of
Cash-Based Compensation	Cash-Based Compensation The Company classifies certain awards that will be settled in cash as cash-based compensation. The Company recognizes the cost of these awards as general and administrative expense, operating expense and capitalized expense over the vesting period of the awards.

New Accounting Standards Implemented in this Report and New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report	New Accounting Standards Implemented in this Report In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, as a new ASC Topic, ASC 848. The purpose of ASC 848 is to provide optional guidance to ease the potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from Interbank Offered Rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), to alternative reference rates. ASC 848 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, debt arrangements and other transactions that reference a benchmark reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASC 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by this reform. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 9 , the Company amended and extended its credit facility which is subject to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) interest rates beginning in the second quarter of 2022. The change from LIBOR to SOFR rates did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted in this Report
