5. FAIR VALUE MEASURES

We have commodity derivatives and interest rate derivatives that are accounted for as assets and liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “level” of inputs. Level 1 inputs are observable quotes in an active market for identical assets and liabilities. We consider the valuation of marketable securities and commodity derivatives transacted through a clearing broker with a published price from the appropriate exchange as a Level 1 valuation. Level 2 inputs are inputs observable for similar assets and liabilities. We consider OTC commodity derivatives entered into directly with third parties as a Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted on an exchange for similar transactions. Additionally, we consider options transacted through a clearing broker as having Level 2 inputs due to the level of activity of these contracts on the exchange in which they trade. The valuation methodologies employed for our interest rate derivatives do not necessitate material judgment, and the inputs are observed from actively quoted public markets and therefore are categorized in Level 2. Level 3 inputs are unobservable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no transfers were made between any levels within the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables summarize the gross fair value of our financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 based on inputs used to derive their fair values:

The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations as of March 31, 2024 were $52.85 billion and $53.48 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate fair value and carrying amount of our consolidated debt obligations were $51.93 billion and $52.39 billion, respectively. The fair value of our consolidated debt obligations is a Level 2 valuation based on the respective debt obligations’ observable inputs for similar liabilities.
