| Guarantees [Abstract] | |
| Guarantees | Note 7—Guarantees At June 30, 2026, we were liable for certain contingent obligations under various contractual arrangements as described below. We recognize a liability, at inception, for the fair value of our obligation as a guarantor for newly issued or modified guarantees. Unless the carrying amount of the liability is noted below, we have not recognized a liability because the fair value of the obligation is immaterial. In addition, unless otherwise stated, we are not currently performing with any significance under the guarantee and expect future performance to be either immaterial or have only a remote chance of occurrence. APLNG Guarantees We have multiple outstanding guarantees in connection with our 47.5 percent ownership interest in APLNG. These guarantees have remaining terms of to 19 years, and the maximum potential future payments related to these guarantees are approximately $1,650 million. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $49 million. QatarEnergy LNG Guarantees We have guaranteed our portion of certain fiscal and other joint venture obligations as a shareholder in NFE4 and NFS3. These guarantees have an approximate 30-year term with no maximum limit. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $14 million. Equatorial Guinea Guarantees We have guaranteed payment obligations as a shareholder in both Equatorial Guinea LNG Operations, S.A., a fully owned subsidiary of Equatorial Guinea LNG Holdings Limited, and Alba Plant LLC with regard to certain agreements to process third-party gas. These guarantees have approximately two years remaining, and the maximum potential future payments related to these guarantees are approximately $116 million. At June 30, 2026, the carrying value of these guarantees was approximately $4 million. Other Guarantees We have other guarantees with maximum future potential payment amounts totaling approximately $560 million, which consist primarily of guarantees of the residual value of leased office buildings and guarantees of the residual value of corporate aircraft. These guarantees have remaining terms of to five years and would become payable if certain asset values are lower than guaranteed amounts at the end of the lease or contract term, business conditions decline at guaranteed entities or as a result of nonperformance of contractual terms by guaranteed parties. At June 30, 2026, there was no liability recognized for these guarantees. Indemnifications Over the years, we have entered into agreements to sell ownership interests in certain legal entities, joint ventures and assets that gave rise to qualifying indemnifications. These agreements include indemnifications for taxes and environmental liabilities. The carrying amount recorded for these indemnification obligations at June 30, 2026, was approximately $30 million. Those related to environmental issues have terms that are generally indefinite, and the maximum amounts of future payments are generally unlimited. Although it is reasonably possible future payments may exceed amounts recorded, due to the nature of the indemnifications, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount of future payments. See Note 8 for additional information about environmental liabilities.
