Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments We have various future contractual commitments which do not meet the definition of a liability as of December 31, 2024 and thus are not recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Executed contracts containing such future commitments include agreements for capital expenditures, the use of LNG vessels contracted for future delivery, natural gas transportation and storage services, goods and services necessary to operate our Liquefaction Projects and letters of credit. CCL has a contractual commitment under a lump sum turnkey contract with Bechtel Energy Inc. (“Bechtel”) for the engineering, procurement and construction of the Corpus Christi Stage 3 Project. As of December 31, 2024, the total contract price of the EPC contract was approximately $6.0 billion, inclusive of amounts incurred under change orders, of which we had approximately $1.9 billion remaining obligations under this contract. Additionally, we had approximately $0.3 billion in contractual commitments under other construction agreements in support of our Liquefaction Projects as of December 31, 2024. Environmental and Regulatory Matters Our LNG terminals and pipelines are subject to extensive regulation under federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations and laws. These laws require that we engage in consultations with appropriate federal and state agencies and that we obtain and maintain applicable permits and other authorizations. Failure to comply with such laws could result in legal proceedings, which may include substantial penalties. We believe that, based on currently known information, compliance with these laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Legal Proceedings We are, and may in the future be, involved as a party to various legal proceedings, which are incidental to the ordinary course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. We recognize legal costs in connection with legal and regulatory matters as they are incurred. While the results of these litigation matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the reasonably possible losses from such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, we believe the probable final outcome of such matters will not have a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.
