"There was a comment made on the House floor last week that the legislative consultant had indicated that the industry was moving more towards shorter and shorter term contracts. And really, this long— the nature of these long-term contracts of the LNG industry is really what differentiates it so much from the oil industry and oil developments. And I just wanted to correct that, that statement that in 2025, the United States developers of LNG projects entered into sales and purchase agreements for 40 million tons of LNG, so double what our project is across the whole U.S. 95% of those contracts were for 20-year contracts."

And really, this long— the nature of these long-term contracts of the LNG industry is really what differentiates it so much from the oil industry and oil developments. And I just wanted to correct that, that statement that in 2025, the United States developers of LNG projects entered into sales and purchase agreements for 40 million tons of LNG, so double what our project is across the whole U.S. 95% of those contracts were for 20-year contracts. So it does change as, as easier projects come about, they're able to find their way into shorter contracts.
