Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
LNG revenues (1) $ 800  $ 1,139  $ 3,585  $ 3,676 
LNG revenues—affiliate 103  257  352  1,017 
Regasification revenues 67  66  202  199 
Other revenues 5  13  28  36 
Total revenues from customers 975  1,475  4,167  4,928 
Net derivative gains (2) 7  1  3  2 
Total revenues $ 982  $ 1,476  $ 4,170  $ 4,930 
(1)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. LNG revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $109 million and $513 million, respectively, in revenues associated with LNG cargoes for which customers have notified us that they will not take delivery, of which $21 million would have otherwise been recognized subsequent to September 30, 2020, if the cargoes were lifted pursuant to the delivery
schedules with the customers. LNG revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020 excluded $244 million in prior period cancellations that would have otherwise been recognized during the quarter if the cargoes were lifted pursuant to the delivery schedules with the customers. Revenue is generally recognized upon receipt of irrevocable notice that a customer will not take delivery because our customers have no contractual right to take delivery of such LNG cargo in future periods and our performance obligations with respect to such LNG cargo have been satisfied.
(2)See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information about our derivatives.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
