Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2021		2020
LNG revenues (1)		$	3,039	$	2,404
Regasification revenues		67		67
Other revenues		20		22

Total revenues from customers		3,126		2,493
Net derivative gain (loss) (2)		(40)		164
Other (3)		4		52
Total revenues		$	3,090	$	2,709

(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. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $53 million in LNG revenues associated with LNG cargoes for which customers notified us that they would not take delivery, which would have been recognized subsequent to March 31, 2020 had the cargoes been lifted pursuant to the delivery schedules with the customers. We did not have such revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information about our derivatives.

(3) Includes revenues from LNG vessel subcharters. See Note 11—Leases for additional information about our subleases.
