During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $58.7 million and $201.0 million, respectively, that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes because these amounts were earned prior to the start of commercial operations, during the testing phase for the construction of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project.
