LNG revenues include revenues for LNG cargoes in which our customers exercised their contractual right to not take delivery but remained obligated to pay fixed fees irrespective of such election. If contractually the customer cannot make up unexercised quantities in future periods, our performance obligation with respect to declined volumes is satisfied, and revenue associated with any unexercised quantities is generally recognized upon notice of customer cancellation.
