Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements We have various contractual obligations in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019, were as follows: Contractual Obligations: Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (1) As of December 31, 2019, we had commitments for demand and similar charges under firm transportation and gathering agreements to guarantee access capacity on natural gas and liquids pipelines and gathering systems. Of the total $8.5 billion, $1.1 billion related to access capacity on future pipeline and gathering infrastructure projects that still require the granting of regulatory approvals and additional construction efforts. For further information, we refer you to “Operational Commitments and Contingencies” in  Note 10  to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. This amount also included guarantee obligations of up to $293 million. Included in the transportation charges above is $108 million (due in less than one year) related to certain agreements that remain in the name of our marketing affiliate but are expected to be paid in full by Flywheel Energy Operating, LLC, the purchaser of the Fayetteville Shale assets. Of these amounts, we may be obligated to reimburse Flywheel Energy Operating, LLC, for a portion of volumetric shortfalls during 2020 (up to $58 million) under these transportation agreements and have currently recorded a $46 million liability as of December 31, 2019, down from $88 million recorded at December 31, 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, we agreed to purchase firm transportation with pipelines in the Appalachian basin starting in 2021 and running through 2032 totaling $357 million in total contractual commitments of which the seller has agreed to reimburse $133 million of these commitments. In February 2020, we were notified that the proposed Constitution pipeline project was cancelled and that we were released from a firm transportation agreement with its sponsor. As of December 31, 2019, we had contractual commitments totaling $512 million over the next seventeen years related to the Constitution pipeline project that are reflected in the table above as transportation obligations that were pending regulatory approval and/or construction. These amounts are $6 million within one to three years, $68 million within three to five years, $102 million within five to eight years and $336 million more than eight years forward. (2) Interest payments on our senior notes were calculated utilizing the fixed rates associated with our fixed rate notes outstanding at December 31, 2019. Senior note interest rates were based on our credit ratings as of December 31, 2019. (3) Operating leases include costs for compressors, drilling rigs, pressure pumping equipment, office space and other equipment under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2029. During the second quarter of 2019, we executed an agreement to convey our purchase option in our headquarters office building to a third-party, which closed on the purchase of the building in July 2019. Concurrent with the closing of the building sale, we terminated our existing lease agreement and entered into a new 10-year lease agreement for a smaller portion of the headquarters building in July 2019, resulting in an estimated annual savings of $7 million to $8 million. (4) As of December 31, 2019, our E&P segment had commitments of approximately $37 million for compression services associated primarily with our Southwest Appalachia division. (5) Our other significant contractual obligations include approximately $12 million for various information technology support and data subscription agreements. Future contributions to the pension and postretirement benefit plans are excluded from the table above. For further information regarding our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we refer you to  Note 13  to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report and “ Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates ” below for additional information. We refer you to  Note 9  to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for a discussion of the terms of our debt. We are subject to various litigation, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as for alleged breaches of contract, miscalculation of royalties, employment matters, traffic incidents, pollution, contamination, encroachment on others’ property or nuisance. We accrue for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 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 our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although it is possible that adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our 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 64 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 Transportation charges  (1) $ 8,470  $ 768  $ 1,235  $ 1,169  $ 1,739  $ 3,559  Debt 2,262  —  213  34  2,015  —  Interest on debt  (2) 985  160  317  296  212  —  Operating leases  (3) 148  33  42  28  29  16  Compression services  (4) 37  13  22  2  —  —  Operating agreements 11  8  3  —  —  —  Purchase obligations 69  69  —  —  —  —  Other obligations  (5) 13  10  3  —  —  —  $ 11,995  $ 1,061  $ 1,835  $ 1,529  $ 3,995  $ 3,575
