Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Note 16—Sales and Other Operating Revenues

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following table provides further disaggregation of our consolidated sales and other operating revenues:


	Millions of Dollars
	Three Months Ended September 30			Nine Months Ended September 30
	2022		2021	2022	2021
Revenue from contracts with customers	$	15,968	8,880	47,202	23,794
Revenue from contracts outside the scope of ASC Topic 606
Physical contracts meeting the definition of a derivative	5,012		2,620	12,563	7,348
Financial derivative contracts	33		(174)	171	(434)
Consolidated sales and other operating revenues	$	21,013	11,326	59,936	30,708

Revenues from contracts outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical gas contracts at market prices which qualify as derivatives accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and for which we have not elected NPNS. There is no significant difference in contractual terms or the policy for recognition of revenue from these contracts and those within the scope of ASC Topic 606. The following disaggregation of revenues is provided in conjunction with Note 17—Segment Disclosures and Related Information:

Practical Expedients

Typically, our commodity sales contracts are less than 12 months in duration; however, in certain specific cases they may extend longer, which may be out to the end of field life. We have long-term commodity sales contracts which use prevailing market prices at the time of delivery, and under these contracts, the market-based variable consideration for each performance obligation (i.e., delivery of commodity) is allocated to each wholly unsatisfied performance obligation within the contract. Accordingly, we have applied the practical expedient allowed in ASC Topic 606 and do not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations or when we expect to recognize revenues that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.

Receivables and Contract Liabilities

Receivables from Contracts with Customers

At September 30, 2022, the “Accounts and notes receivable” line on our consolidated balance sheet includes trade receivables of $5,701 million compared with $5,268 million at December 31, 2021, and includes both contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 and those that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606. We typically receive payment within 30 days or less (depending on the terms of the invoice) once delivery is made. Revenues that are outside the scope of ASC Topic 606 relate primarily to physical gas sales contracts at market prices for which we do not elect NPNS and are therefore accounted for as a derivative under ASC Topic 815. There is little distinction in the nature of the customer or credit quality of trade receivables associated with gas sold under contracts for which NPNS has not been elected compared to trade receivables where NPNS has been elected.

Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

We have entered into certain agreements under which we license our proprietary technology, including the Optimized Cascade® process technology, to customers to maximize the efficiency of LNG plants. These agreements typically provide for milestone payments to be made during and after the construction phases of the LNG plant. The payments are not directly related to our performance obligations under the contract and are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized when the customer is able to benefit from their right to use the applicable licensed technology.


	Millions of Dollars
Contract Liabilities
At December 31, 2021	$	50
Contractual payments received	25
Revenue recognized	(56)
At September 30, 2022	$	19

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recognized revenue of $56 million in the "Sales and other operating revenues" line on our consolidated income statement. No revenue was recognized during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. We expect to recognize the contract liabilities as of September 30, 2022, as revenue in 2026.
