Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Cimarex Energy Co. On October 1, 2021, the Company completed a merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Cimarex Energy Co. (“Cimarex”). Cimarex is an oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Purchase Price Allocation The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets, liabilities and mezzanine equity of Cimarex and its subsidiaries were recorded at their respective fair values as of the effective date of the Merger. The purchase price allocation was based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change for up to one year after October 1, 2021, the effective date of the Merger, as the Company finalizes the valuations of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the related tax balances as of the effective date of the Merger. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Cimarex requires judgment and certain assumptions to be made. The most significant fair value estimates related to the valuation of Cimarex's oil and gas properties and certain other fixed assets, long-term debt and derivative instruments. Oil and gas properties and certain fixed assets were valued using an income and market approach utilizing Level 3 inputs including internally generated production and development data and estimated price and cost estimates. Long-term debt was valued using a market approach utilizing Level 1 inputs including observable market prices on the underlying debt instruments. Derivative liabilities were based on Level 3 inputs consistent with the Company’s other commodity derivative instruments. There were no adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The results of Cimarex’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since October 1, 2021, the effective date of the Merger. The following supplemental pro forma information for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 has been prepared to give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021. The information below reflects pro forma adjustments based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are factual and supportable. The pro forma results of operations do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the acquisition or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by Coterra to integrate the Cimarex assets. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the transaction actually taken place on January 1, 2021 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the following pro forma information because of normal production declines, changes in commodity prices, future acquisitions and divestitures, future development and exploration activities and other factors. (In millions, except per share amounts) Nine Months Ended Pro forma revenue $ 3,011 Pro forma net income 219 Pro forma basic earnings per share $ 0.27 Pro forma diluted earnings per share $ 0.27

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the authoritative guidance for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities in its financial statements. For further information regarding the fair value hierarchy, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Financial Assets and Liabilities The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (In millions) Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Balance at Assets Deferred compensation plan $ 40 $ — $ — $ 40 Derivative instruments — 2 68 70 $ 40 $ 2 $ 68 $ 110 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan $ 53 $ — $ — $ 53 Derivative instruments — — 112 112 $ 53 $ — $ 112 $ 165 (In millions) Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Balance at Assets Deferred compensation plan $ 47 $ — $ — $ 47 Derivative instruments — — 27 27 $ 47 $ — $ 27 $ 74 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan $ 56 $ — $ — $ 56 Derivative instruments — — 179 179 $ 56 $ — $ 179 $ 235 The Company’s investments associated with its deferred compensation plans consist of mutual funds and deferred shares of the Company’s common stock that are publicly traded and for which market prices are readily available. The derivative instruments were measured based on quotes from the Company’s counterparties or internal models. Such quotes and models have been derived using an income approach that considers various inputs, including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward commodity prices, basis differentials, volatility factors and interest rates for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable. Estimates are derived from or verified using relevant NYMEX futures contracts and/or are compared to multiple quotes obtained from counterparties. The determination of the fair values presented above also incorporates a credit adjustment for non-performance risk. The Company measured the non-performance risk of its counterparties by reviewing credit default swap spreads for the various financial institutions with which it has derivative transactions while non-performance risk of the Company is evaluated using market credit spreads provided by several of the Company’s banks. The Company has not incurred any losses related to non-performance risk of its counterparties and does not anticipate any material impact on its financial results due to non-performance by third parties. The most significant unobservable inputs relative to the Company’s Level 3 derivative contracts are basis differentials and volatility factors. An increase (decrease) in these unobservable inputs would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value, respectively. The Company does not have access to the specific assumptions used in its counterparties’ valuation models. Consequently, additional disclosures regarding significant Level 3 unobservable inputs were not provided. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy: Nine Months Ended (In millions) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ (152) $ 24 Total gain (loss) included in earnings (596) (222) Settlement (gain) loss 704 43 Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 — — Balance at end of period $ (44) $ (155) Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to assets and liabilities still held at the end of the period $ (11) $ (157) Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company discloses or recognizes its non-financial assets and liabilities, such as impairments or acquisitions, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As none of the Company’s other non-financial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2022, additional disclosures were not required. The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligations at inception is determined by utilizing the income approach by applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which takes into account the Company’s credit risk, the time value of money, and the current economic state to the undiscounted expected abandonment cash flows. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the measurement of the asset retirement obligations was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of other financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged currently between willing parties. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value, due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and the remaining financial instruments are classified as Level 2. The fair value of the Company’s 4.375% senior notes due June 1, 2024, 3.90% senior notes due May 15, 2027 and 4.375% senior notes due March 15, 2029 is based on quoted market prices, which is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of its private placement senior notes. The fair value of the private placement senior notes is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including a credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate. The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk. The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the Company’s senior notes and revolving credit facility to new issuances (secured and unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt. The fair value of the private placement senior notes is based on interest rates currently available to the Company. The Company’s private placement senior notes are valued using an income approach and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt is as follows: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In millions) Carrying Estimated Fair Carrying Estimated Fair Long-term debt $ 2,232 $ 1,984 $ 3,125 $ 3,163 Current maturities (44) (44) — — Long-term debt, excluding current maturities $ 2,188 $ 1,940 $ 3,125 $ 3,163

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Obligations The Company has various contractual obligations in the normal course of its operations. There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations described under “Transportation, Processing and Gathering Agreements” and “Lease Commitments” as disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K, except as discussed below. Lease Commitments On July 7, 2022, the Company commenced a lease for an electric hydraulic fracturing fleet. The Company recognized an operating lease liability and right-of-use asset of approximately $148 million during the third quarter of 2022 related to this lease. Legal Matters Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Matter On June 16, 2020, the Office of Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania informed the Company that it will pursue certain misdemeanor and felony charges in a Susquehanna County Magisterial District Court against the Company related to alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, which prohibits discharge of industrial wastes. The Company is vigorously defending itself against such charges; however, the proceedings could result in fines or penalties against the Company. At this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of any fines or penalties, or the range of such fines or penalties, that are reasonably possible in this case. Securities Litigation In October 2020, a class action lawsuit styled Delaware County Emp. Ret. Sys. v. Cabot Oil and Gas Corp., et. al. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania), was filed against the Company, Dan O. Dinges, its then Chief Executive Officer, and Scott C. Schroeder, its Chief Financial Officer, alleging that the Company made misleading statements in its periodic filings with the SEC in violation of Section 10(b) and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The plaintiffs allege misstatements in the Company’s public filings and disclosures over a number of years relating to its potential liability for alleged environmental violations in Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs allege that such misstatements caused a decline in the price of the Company’s common stock when it disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 two notices of violations from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and an additional decline when it disclosed on June 15, 2020 the criminal charges brought by the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania related to alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, which prohibits discharge of industrial wastes. The court appointed Delaware County Employees Retirement System to represent the purported class on February 3, 2021. In April 2021, the complaint was amended to include Phillip L. Stalnaker, the Company’s then Senior Vice President of Operations, as a defendant. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages, interest and attorney’s fees. Also in October 2020, a stockholder derivative action styled Ezell v. Dinges, et. al. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania) was filed against the Company, Messrs. Dinges and Schroeder and the Board of Directors of the Company serving at that time, for alleged securities violations under Section 10(b) and Section 21D of the Exchange Act arising from the same alleged misleading statements that form the basis of the class action lawsuit described above. In addition to the Exchange Act claims, the derivative actions also allege claims based on breaches of fiduciary duty and statutory contribution theories. In December 2020, the Ezell case was consolidated with a second derivative case filed in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania with similar allegations. In January 2021, a third derivative case was filed in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania with substantially similar allegations and it too was consolidated with the Ezell case in February 2021. On February 25, 2021, the Company filed a motion to transfer the class action lawsuit to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, Texas, where its headquarters are located. On June 11, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit on the basis that the plaintiffs’ allegations do not meet the requirements for pleading a claim under Section 10(b) or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. On June 22, 2021, the motion to transfer the class action lawsuit to the Southern District of Texas was granted. Pursuant to the prior agreement of the parties, the consolidated derivative case discussed in the preceding paragraph was also transferred to the Southern District of Texas on July 12, 2021. Subsequently, an additional stockholder derivative action styled Treppel Family Trust U/A 08/18/18 Lawrence A. Treppel and Geri D. Treppel for the benefit of Geri D. Treppel and Larry A. Treppel v. Dinges, et al. (U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division), asserting substantially similar Delaware common law claims as in the existing derivative cases, was filed in the Southern District of Texas and consolidated with the existing consolidated derivative cases. On January 12, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit but allowed the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. The class action plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on February 11, 2022. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended class action complaint on March 10, 2022. On August 10, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the amended class action complaint, dismissing certain claims with prejudice but allowing certain claims to proceed. The Company filed its answer to the amended class action complaint on September 14, 2022. With respect to the consolidated derivative cases, on April 1, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted the Company’s motion to dismiss such consolidated derivative cases but allowed the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. The derivative plaintiffs filed their third amended complaint on May 16, 2022. The Company filed its motion to dismiss such amended complaint on June 24, 2022, and filed its reply in support of such motion to dismiss on September 4, 2022. The Company’s motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative cases is fully briefed and is pending for decision. The Company intends to vigorously defend the class action and derivative lawsuits. In November 2020, the Company received a stockholder demand for inspection of books and records under Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Section 220 Demand”). The Section 220 Demand seeks broad categories of documents reviewed by the Board of Directors and minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors pertaining to alleged environmental violations in Pennsylvania, as well as documents relating to any board of directors conflicts of interest, dating from January 1, 2015 to the present. The Company also received three other similar requests from other stockholders in February and June 2021. On May 17, 2021, the Company was served with a complaint filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by the stockholder making the February 2021 Section 220 Demand to compel the production of books and records requested. After making an agreed books and records production, the Section 220 complaint was voluntarily dismissed effective September 21, 2021. The Company also provided substantially the same books and records production in response to the other three Section 220 requests described above. It is possible that one or more additional stockholder suits could be filed pertaining to the subject matter of the Section 220 Demands and the class and derivative actions described above. Other Legal Matters The Company is a defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. All known liabilities are accrued when management determines they are probable based on its best estimate of the potential loss. While the outcome and impact of these legal proceedings on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Contingency Reserves When deemed necessary, the Company establishes reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve is based on an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur additional losses with respect to those matters for which reserves have been established. The Company believes that any such amount above the amounts accrued would not be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Future changes in facts and circumstances not currently known or foreseeable could result in the actual liability exceeding the estimated ranges of loss and amounts accrued.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations A significant number of the Company’s product sales contracts are short-term in nature, with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $7.3 billion of unsatisfied performance obligations related to natural gas sales that have a fixed pricing component and a contract term greater than one year. The Company expects to recognize these obligations over periods ranging from two . Contract Balances

The following table summarizes the dividends the Company has paid on its common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: Rate per share Fixed Variable Total Total Dividends Paid 2022: First quarter $ 0.15 $ 0.41 $ 0.56 $ 455 Second quarter 0.15 0.45 0.60 484 Third quarter 0.15 0.50 0.65 519 Total year-to-date $ 0.45 $ 1.36 $ 1.81 $ 1,458 2021: First quarter $ 0.10 $ — $ 0.10 $ 40 Second quarter 0.11 — 0.11 44 Third quarter 0.11 — 0.11 44 Total year-to-date $ 0.32 $ — $ 0.32 $ 128 Subsequent Event . In November 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the quarterly base dividend of $0.15 per share and a variable dividend of $0.53 per share, resulting in a base-plus-variable dividend of $0.68 per share on the Company’s common stock. Treasury Stock In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the previously authorized share repurchase program and authorized a new share repurchase program. This new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $1.25 billion of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 28 million shares for $740 million under the new share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2022, 107 million shares were held as treasury stock, with $510 million remaining under the Company’s current share repurchase program. Cimarex Redeemable Preferred Stock In May 2022, the holders of 21,900 shares of Cimarex redeemable preferred stock elected to convert their Cimarex redeemable preferred stock into Coterra common stock and cash. As a result of the conversion, the holders received 809,846 shares of Coterra common stock and $10 million in cash according to the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Cimarex redeemable preferred stock. The book value of the converted shares was $39 million, and upon conversion the excess of carrying value over cash paid was credited to additional paid-in capital. There was no gain or loss recognized on the transaction because it was completed in accordance with the original terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Cimarex redeemable preferred stock. At September 30, 2022, there were 6,125 shares of Cimarex redeemable preferred stock outstanding with a carrying value of $11 million.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation General The Company grants certain stock-based compensation awards, including restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance share awards and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards was $26 million and $10 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $70 million and $26 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K for further description of the various types of stock-based compensation awards and the applicable award terms. Restricted Stock Units - Employees During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 2,244,405 restricted stock units to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date value of $24.80 per unit. The fair value of restricted stock unit grants is based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Restricted stock units generally vest either at the end of a three-year service period or on a graded or graduated vesting basis at each anniversary date over a three-year service period. The Company used an annual forfeiture rate assumption of zero to five percent for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for its restricted stock units. Restricted Stock Units - Non-Employees Directors In June 2022, the Company granted 45,472 restricted stock units, with a weighted-average grant date value of $35.19 per unit, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The fair value of these units is measured based on the closing stock price on grant date. These units will vest in April 2023 and the Company will recognize compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Performance Share Awards The Company has two outstanding types of performance share awards: one based on performance conditions measured against the Company’s internal performance metrics (“Employee Performance Share Awards”) and one based on market conditions (“TSR Performance Share Awards”). The Company used an annual forfeiture rate assumption of zero to five percent for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for its performance share awards. Performance Share Awards Based on Internal Performance Metrics The fair value of the Employee Performance Share Awards is based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Each performance share award represents the right to receive up to 100 percent of the award in shares of the Company’s common stock. Employee Performance Share Awards . During 2022, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company certified that the performance conditions for certain of the Employee Performance Share Awards that were granted in 2020 and 2021 had been met. In July 2022, 1,775,790 shares with a grant date fair value of $22 million were issued and fully vested. Performance Share Awards Based on Market Conditions These awards have both an equity and liability component, with the right to receive up to the first 100 percent of the award in shares of common stock and the right to receive up to an additional 100 percent of the value of the award in excess of the equity component in cash. The equity portion of these awards is valued on the grant date and is not marked to market, while the liability portion of the awards is valued as of the end of each reporting period on a mark-to-market basis. The Company calculates the fair value of the equity and liability portions of the awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model. TSR Performance Share Awards . During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 1,161,599 TSR Performance Share Awards, which are earned, or not earned, based on the comparative performance of the Company’s common stock measured against a predetermined group of companies in the Company’s peer group and certain industry-related indices over a three-year performance period, which commenced on February 1, 2022 and ends on January 31, 2025. The 2022 TSR Performance Share Awards include a feature that will reduce the potential cash component of the award if the actual performance is negative over the three-year period and the base calculation indicates an above-target payout. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant date fair value of the equity component on February 28, 2022 and the period-end fair value of the liability component of the TSR Performance Share Awards: Grant Date September 30, Fair value per performance share award $ 17.89 $ 12.47 Assumptions: Stock price volatility 42.3 % 42.3 % Risk-free rate of return 1.60 % 4.19 %

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Common Share	Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the common shares outstanding for the period is increased using the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock awards were vested at the end of the applicable period. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Income (Numerator) Net income $ 1,196 $ 64 $ 3,033 $ 220 Less: dividends attributable to participating securities (2) — (5) — Less: Cimarex redeemable preferred stock dividends — — (1) — Net income available to common stockholders $ 1,194 $ 64 $ 3,027 $ 220 Shares (Denominator) Weighted-average shares - Basic 792 400 801 399 Dilution effect of stock awards at end of period 5 3 4 3 Weighted-average shares - Diluted 797 403 805 402 Earnings per share: Basic $ 1.51 $ 0.16 $ 3.78 $ 0.55 Diluted $ 1.50 $ 0.16 $ 3.77 $ 0.55 The following is a calculation of weighted-average shares excluded from diluted EPS due to anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Weighted-average stock awards excluded from diluted EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect calculated using the treasury stock method 1 — 1 1
