lng long-term agreement revenue measures LNG revenue from liquefaction-project volumes sold under third-party long-term agreements.

Cheniere example

Cheniere reported $14.804 billion for this measure or contract feature in its fiscal 2025 disclosures.

Why it matters

LNG export economics combine physical liquefaction capacity, cargo timing, long-term contract coverage, feedgas-linked pricing, and marketing activity. This measure isolates one part of that system so investors can separate infrastructure scale from contract economics and accounting timing.

Investor caution

Revenue reflects both volume and contract pricing, so changes should be separated into delivered volume, fixed fees, variable fees, and index pricing.

The metric is most useful with the neighboring capacity, volume, contract, and revenue measures in the LNG export operating model rather than as a standalone profitability signal.

Where this concept fits

Physical loading, delivery, and revenue recognitionCurrent relationship
Loaded, in-transit, and recognized volumes bridge physical cargo activity to accounting timing, while long-term, short-term, and third-party procured volumes and revenues separate owned-project contract sales from marketing and externally sourced LNG.
LNG In-Transit Volume LNG Loaded Volume LNG Long-Term Agreement Delivered VolumeLNG Long-Term Agreement RevenueCurrent conceptLNG Recognized Volume LNG Short-Term Delivered Volume LNG Short-Term Sales Revenue LNG Third-Party Procured Revenue LNG Third-Party Procured Volume
Capacity and contract coverage
Total and under-construction liquefaction capacity show the physical production envelope, while contracted-production percentage and weighted-average contract life show how much anticipated output is covered by long-duration customer agreements.
LNG Capacity Under Construction LNG Contract Weighted-Average Remaining Life LNG Long-Term Contracted Production Percentage LNG Total Production Capacity
Fee structure and remaining contract value
Fixed liquefaction fees provide capacity-linked contractual economics, variable fees primarily track Henry Hub-linked feedgas costs, and remaining fixed and variable fee revenue show the scale of future contractual consideration under Cheniere's stated assumptions. Regasification capacity remains a separate import-terminal capability.
