(1) The LTA bills at a base rate in periods when the oil price is $60 or less per barrel (included in “Liquefaction services revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations), and at an increased rate when the oil price is greater than $60 per barrel (recognized as a derivative and included in “Realized and unrealized gain/(loss) on oil and gas derivative instruments” in the consolidated statements of operations, excluded from revenue and from the transaction price).
(2) Perenco Cameroon S.A. (“Perenco”) and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures (“SNH”) (together, the “Customer”) billing during the commissioning period, prior to vessel acceptance and commencement of the contract term, of $33.8 million is considered an upfront payment for services. These amounts billed are deferred (included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets) and recognized as part of “Liquefaction services revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations evenly over the contract term.
(3) The Day 1 gain was established when the oil derivative asset was initially recognized in December 2017 for $79.6 million (recognized in “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets). This amount is amortized and recognized as part of “Liquefaction services revenue” in the consolidated statements of operations evenly over the contract term.
(4) Relates to the LTA addendum entered in 2020, wherein our Customer agreed to compensate us for any production in excess of the base capacity set out in the LTA.
