Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS CCH is a Houston-based Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2014 by Cheniere to hold its limited partner interest in CCP and its equity interests in CCL and CCP GP. Prior to this date, CCP and CCL received capital contributions funding from other affiliated entities of Cheniere. The formation of CCH was treated as a reorganization between entities under common control. As a result, the Company’s Combined Financial Statements for periods prior to the formation of CCH were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Cheniere and reflect the combined historical results of operations and cash flows of CCL, CCP and CCP GP. For periods subsequent to the formation of CCH, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a consolidated basis as CCH, CCL, CCP and CCP GP became a separate consolidated group. The Combined Financial Statements do not purport to represent our results of operations and cash flows had CCH been a stand-alone entity during all periods presented. We are developing and constructing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal (the “Liquefaction Facility”), which is on nearly 2,000 acres of land that we own or control near Corpus Christi, Texas, and a pipeline facility (the “Liquefaction Project”) through wholly owned subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. The Liquefaction Project is being developed for up to three Trains, with expected aggregate nominal production capacity, which is prior to adjusting for planned maintenance, production reliability and potential overdesign, of approximately 13.5 mtpa of LNG, three LNG storage tanks with aggregate capacity of approximately 10.1 Bcfe and two marine berths that can each accommodate vessels with nominal capacity of up to 266,000 cubic meters. The Liquefaction Project is being developed in stages. The first stage (“Stage 1”) is in construction and includes Trains 1 and 2 , two LNG storage tanks, one complete marine berth and a second partial berth and all of the Liquefaction Project’s necessary infrastructure facilities. The second stage (“Stage 2”), which is in development with all necessary regulatory approvals in place, includes Train 3, one LNG storage tank and the completion of the second partial berth. The Liquefaction Project also includes a 23 -mile natural gas supply pipeline (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline”) that will interconnect the Corpus Christi LNG terminal with several interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION We are developing and constructing a natural gas liquefaction and export facility at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal (the “Liquefaction Facility”), which is on nearly 2,000 acres of land that we own or control near Corpus Christi, Texas, and a 23 -mile natural gas supply pipeline (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the Liquefaction Facility, the “Liquefaction Project”) through wholly owned subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. The Liquefaction Project is being developed in stages. The first stage (“Stage 1”) includes Trains 1 and 2 , two LNG storage tanks, one complete marine berth and a second partial berth and all of the Liquefaction Project’s necessary infrastructure facilities. The second stage includes Train 3, one LNG storage tank and the completion of the second partial berth. Stage 1 and the Corpus Christi Pipeline are currently under construction, and Train 3 is being commercialized and has all necessary regulatory approvals in place. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CCH have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on our overall consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017. We are a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or loss reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere. The provision for income taxes, taxes payable and deferred income tax balances have been recorded as if we had filed all tax returns on a separate return basis (“hypothetical carve-out basis”) from Cheniere.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation Our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the CCH and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have evaluated subsequent events through March 7, 2017, the date the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements were available to be issued. Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to the value of property, plant and equipment, derivative instruments, asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), income taxes including valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets and fair value measurements. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates. Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market. In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, we incorporate transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize our use of unobservable inputs in arriving at fair value estimates. Recurring fair-value measurements are performed for interest rate derivatives as disclosed in Note 5—Derivative Instruments . The carrying amount of restricted cash and accounts payable reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value. Debt fair values, as disclosed in Note 7—Debt , is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase our debt in the open market, and are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available, or based on valuations of similar debt instruments using observable or unobservable inputs. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal and will not become available to us as cash and cash equivalents. We have presented restricted cash separately from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounting for LNG Activities Generally, we begin capitalizing the costs of our LNG terminal and related pipeline once the individual project meets the following criteria: (1) regulatory approval has been received, (2) financing for the project is available and (3) management has committed to commence construction. Prior to meeting these criteria, most of the costs associated with a project are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include professional fees associated with front-end engineering and design work, costs of securing necessary regulatory approvals, and other preliminary investigation and development activities related to our LNG terminal and related pipeline. Generally, costs that are capitalized prior to a project meeting the criteria otherwise necessary for capitalization include: land and lease option costs that are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and certain permits that are capitalized as other non-current assets. The costs of lease options are amortized over the life of the lease once obtained. If no lease is obtained, the costs are expensed. We capitalize interest and other related debt costs during the construction period of our LNG terminal and related pipeline. Upon commencement of operations, capitalized interest, as a component of the total cost, will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and general and administrative activities are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred on debt obtained for the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as construction-in-process over the construction period or related debt term, whichever is shorter. We depreciate our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in other operating costs and expenses. Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. We did not record any impairments related to property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014. Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines The Corpus Christi Pipeline is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC in accordance with the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording as assets those costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers, or recording as liabilities those amounts that are expected to be required to be returned to customers, in a rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated rate-making process that may not be recorded under GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders applicable to other regulated entities. Based on this continual assessment, we believe the existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are primarily classified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred preliminary survey and investigation costs, other assets and other liabilities. We periodically evaluate their applicability under GAAP, and consider factors such as regulatory changes and the effect of competition. If cost-based regulation ends or competition increases, we may have to reduce our asset balances to reflect a market basis less than cost and write off the associated regulatory assets and liabilities. Items that may influence our assessment are: • inability to recover cost increases due to rate caps and rate case moratoriums; • inability to recover capitalized costs, including an adequate return on those costs through the rate-making process and the FERC proceedings; • excess capacity; • increased competition and discounting in the markets we serve; and • impacts of ongoing regulatory initiatives in the natural gas industry. Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from interest rate risk. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities depending on the derivative position and the expected timing of settlement. When we have the contractual right and intend to net settle, derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings, unless we elect to apply hedge accounting and meet specified criteria, including completing contemporaneous hedge documentation. We did not have any derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. See Note 5—Derivative Instruments for additional details about our derivative instruments. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels. We have not incurred losses related to these balances to date. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. Our interest rate derivative instruments are placed with investment grade financial institutions whom we believe are acceptable credit risks. We monitor counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, we cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments. CCL has entered into eight fixed price 20 -year SPAs with seven unaffiliated third parties. CCL is dependent on the respective counterparties’ creditworthiness and their willingness to perform under their respective SPAs. Debt Our debt consists of long-term secured debt securities and credit facilities with banks and other lenders. Debt issuances are placed directly by us or through securities dealers or underwriters and are held by institutional and retail investors. Debt is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at par value net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term notes. Debt issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the debt and are recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt are recorded in gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt on our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Debt issuance and deferred financing costs consist primarily of arrangement fees, professional fees, legal fees and printing costs. Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the debt liability unless incurred in connection with a line of credit arrangement, in which case they are presented as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets along with deferred financing costs. Debt issuance and deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense or property, plant and equipment over the term of the related debt facility. Upon early retirement of debt or amendment to a debt agreement, certain fees are written off to loss on early extinguishment of debt. Asset Retirement Obligations We recognize AROs for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset and for conditional AROs in which the timing or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Our assessment of AROs is described below. We have no t recorded an ARO associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline. We believe that it is not feasible to predict when the natural gas transportation services provided by the Corpus Christi Pipeline will no longer be utilized. In addition, our right-of-way agreements associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline have no stipulated termination dates. We intend to operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists in the United States and intend to maintain it regularly. Income Taxes We are a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or loss reported on our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere. The provision for income taxes, taxes payable and deferred income tax balances have been recorded as if we had filed all tax returns on a separate return basis (“hypothetical carve-out basis”) from Cheniere. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. We routinely assess our deferred tax assets and reduce such assets by a valuation allowance if we deem it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires significant judgment and is based upon our assessment of our ability to generate future taxable income among other factors. Business Segment Our liquefaction and pipeline business at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal represents a single reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker reviews the financial results of CCH in total when evaluating financial performance and for purposes of allocating resources.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS We have entered into the following derivative instruments that are reported at fair value: • interest rate swaps (“Interest Rate Derivatives”) to protect against volatility of future cash flows and hedge a portion of the variable-rate interest payments on our credit facility (the “2015 CCH Credit Facility”) and • natural gas supply contracts for the commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project (“Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”). None of our derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, and changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated Statements of Operations to the extent not utilized for the commissioning process. Interest Rate Derivatives As of June 30, 2017, we had the following Interest Rate Derivatives outstanding: Initial Notional Amount Maximum Notional Amount Effective Date Maturity Date Weighted Average Fixed Interest Rate Paid Variable Interest Rate Received Interest Rate Derivatives $28.8 million $4.9 billion May 20, 2015 May 31, 2022 2.29% One-month LIBOR Our Interest Rate Derivatives are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We value our Interest Rate Derivatives using valuations based on the initial trade prices. Using an income-based approach, subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rate curves, risk adjusted discount rates, credit spreads and other relevant data. In May 2017, we settled a portion of our Interest Rate Derivatives and recognized a derivative loss of $13.0 million in conjunction with the termination of approximately $1.4 billion of commitments under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 6—Debt . The following table (in thousands) shows the fair value and location of our Interest Rate Derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheets: June 30, December 31, Balance Sheet Location 2017 2016 Derivative liabilities $ (31,672 ) $ (43,383 ) Non-current derivative liabilities (53,192 ) (43,105 ) Total derivative liabilities $ (84,864 ) $ (86,488 ) The following table (in thousands) shows the changes in the fair value and settlements of our Interest Rate Derivatives recorded in derivative loss, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016: Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 Interest Rate Derivatives loss $ (32,096 ) $ (236,053 ) Liquefaction Supply Derivatives CCL entered into the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is predominantly driven by market commodity basis prices and our assessment of the associated conditions precedent, including evaluating whether the respective market is available as pipeline infrastructure is developed. Upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent, including completion and placement into service of relevant pipeline infrastructure to accommodate marketable physical gas flow, we recognize a gain or loss based on the fair value of the respective natural gas supply contracts as of the reporting date. The fair value of substantially all of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is developed through the use of internal models which are impacted by inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace. As a result, the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The curves used to generate the fair value of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives are based on basis adjustments applied to forward curves for a liquid trading point. In addition, there may be observable liquid market basis information in the near term, but terms of a Liquefaction Supply Derivatives contract may exceed the period for which such information is available, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In these instances, the fair value of the contract incorporates extrapolation assumptions made in the determination of the market basis price for future delivery periods in which applicable commodity basis prices were either not observable or lacked corroborative market data. Internal fair value models include conditions precedent to the respective long-term natural gas supply contracts. As of June 30, 2017, some of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure is under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. The forward notional natural gas buy position of the Liquefaction Supply Derivatives was approximately 280 TBtu as of June 30, 2017. The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for our Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as of June 30, 2017: Net Fair Value Liability (in thousands) Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Significant Unobservable Inputs Range Liquefaction Supply Derivatives $(383) Income Approach Basis Spread $(0.098) - $0.080 Derivative assets and liabilities arising from our derivative contracts with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis, as all counterparty derivative contracts provide for net settlement. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments in instances when our derivative instruments are in an asset position. Our derivative instruments are subject to contractual provisions which provide for the unconditional right of set-off for all derivative assets and liabilities with a given counterparty in the event of default.

Our Interest Rate Derivatives are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, and changes in fair value are recorded within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2016, we had the following Interest Rate Derivatives outstanding: Initial Notional Amount Maximum Notional Amount Effective Date Maturity Date Weighted Average Fixed Interest Rate Paid Variable Interest Rate Received Interest Rate Derivatives $28.8 million $5.5 billion May 20, 2015 May 31, 2022 2.29% One-month LIBOR Our Interest Rate Derivatives are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Net proceeds of the offering of approximately $1.4 billion , after deducting commissions, fees and expenses and provisioning for incremental interest required under the 2027 CCH Senior Notes during construction, were used to prepay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, resulting in a write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the 2015 CCH Credit Facility of $32.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Borrowings under the 2027 CCH Senior Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.125% , and interest on the 2027 CCH Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The 2027 CCH Senior Notes are governed by the same common indenture as our other senior notes (the “CCH Indenture”), which contains customary terms and events of default, covenants and redemption terms. At any time prior to January 1, 2027, we may redeem all or a part of the 2027 CCH Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the “make-whole” price set forth in the CCH Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. We also may at any time on or after January 1, 2027 through the maturity date of June 30, 2027, redeem the 2027 CCH Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 CCH Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In connection with the closing of the sale of the 2027 CCH Senior Notes, we and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “CCH Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the terms of the CCH Registration Rights Agreement, we and the Guarantors have agreed, and any future guarantors will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and cause to become effective a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange any and all of the 2027 CCH Senior Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of our debt securities with terms identical in all material respects to the 2027 CCH Senior Notes sought to be exchanged (other than with respect to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate), within 360 days after May 19, 2017. Under specified circumstances, we and the Guarantors have also agreed, and any future guarantors will also agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the 2027 CCH Senior Notes. We will be obligated to pay additional interest on the 2027 CCH Senior Notes if we fail to comply with our obligation to register them within the specified time period.

The CCH Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by our subsidiaries, CCL, CCP and CCP GP (the “Guarantors”). The indenture governing the 2024 CCH Senior Notes and the 2025 CCH Senior Notes (the “CCH Indenture”) contains customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on membership interests or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire membership interests; sell or transfer assets, including membership or partnership interests of our restricted subsidiaries; restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries to us or any of our restricted subsidiaries; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of the properties or assets of us and our restricted subsidiaries taken as a whole; or permit any Guarantor to dissolve, liquidate, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Interest on the CCH Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. At any time prior to six months before the respective dates of maturity for each series of the CCH Senior Notes, we may redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the “make-whole” price set forth in the CCH Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. We also may at any time within six months of the respective dates of maturity for each series of the CCH Senior Notes, redeem all or part of such series of the CCH Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the CCH Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In connection with the closing of the sale of the 2024 CCH Senior Notes and 2025 CCH Senior Notes, we and the Guarantors entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “CCH Registration Rights Agreements”). Under the terms of the CCH Registration Rights Agreements, we and the Guarantors have agreed, and any future guarantors of the 2024 CCH Senior Notes and 2025 CCH Senior Notes will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and cause to become effective a registration statement relating to offers to exchange any and all of the CCH Senior Notes for like aggregate principal amounts of our debt securities with terms identical in all material respects to the respective CCH Senior Notes sought to be exchanged (other than with respect to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate) within 360 days after May 18, 2016 and December 9, 2016 respectively. Under specified circumstances, we and the Guarantors have also agreed, and any future guarantors of the CCH Senior Notes will also agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the CCH Senior Notes. We will be obligated to pay additional interest if we fail to comply with our obligation to register the CCH Senior Notes within the specified time period. Credit Facilities Below is a summary of our credit facilities outstanding as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands): 2015 CCH Credit Facility CCH Working Capital Facility Original facility size $ 8,403,714 $ 350,000 Outstanding balance 2,380,788 — Commitments terminated 2,420,212 — Letters of credit issued — — Available commitment $ 3,602,714 $ 350,000 Interest rate LIBOR plus 2.25% or base rate plus 1.25% (1) LIBOR plus 1.50% - 2.00% or base rate plus 0.50% - 1.00% Maturity date Earlier of May 13, 2022 or second anniversary of CCL Trains 1 and 2 completion date December 14, 2021, with various terms for underlying loans (1) There is a 0.25% step-up for both LIBOR and base rate loans following completion of the first two Trains of the Liquefaction Project. 2015 CCH Credit Facility In May 2015, we entered into the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, which is being used to fund a portion of the costs associated with the development, construction, operation and maintenance of Stage 1 of the Liquefaction Project. Borrowings under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility may be refinanced, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty; however, interest rate hedging and interest rate breakage costs may be incurred. In conjunction with the issuance of the 2024 CCH Senior Notes and 2025 CCH Senior Notes, we prepaid approximately $2.4 billion of outstanding borrowings under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility. These prepayments resulted in a write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the 2015 CCH Credit Facility of $63.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2016. The principal of the loans made under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility must be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (1) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following project completion and (2) a set date determined by reference to the date under which a certain LNG buyer linked to Train 2 of the Liquefaction Project is entitled to terminate its SPA for failure to achieve the date of first commercial delivery for that agreement. Scheduled repayments will be based upon a 19 -year tailored amortization, commencing the first full quarter after the project completion and designed to achieve a minimum projected fixed debt service coverage ratio of 1.55 :1. Loans under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility accrue interest at a variable rate per annum equal to, at our election, LIBOR or the base rate, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margins for LIBOR loans are 2.25% prior to completion of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project and 2.50% on completion and thereafter. The applicable margins for base rate loans are 1.25% prior to completion Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project and 1.50% on completion and thereafter. Interest on LIBOR loans is due and payable at the end of each applicable interest period and interest on base rate loans is due and payable at the end of each quarter. The 2015 CCH Credit Facility also requires us to pay a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 40% of the margin for LIBOR loans, multiplied by the outstanding undrawn debt commitments. Our obligations under the 2015 CCH Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all our assets and our subsidiaries and by a pledge by CCH HoldCo I of its limited liability company interests in us. Under the terms of the 2015 CCH Credit Facility, we are required to hedge not less than 65% of the variable interest rate exposure of our senior secured debt. We are restricted from making distributions under agreements governing our indebtedness generally until, among other requirements, the completion of the construction of Trains 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project, funding of a debt service reserve account equal to six months of debt service and achieving a historical debt service coverage ratio and fixed projected debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 :1.00. CCH Working Capital Facility In December 2016, we entered into the $350 million CCH Working Capital Facility, which is intended to be used for loans (“CCH Working Capital Loans”), the issuance of letters of credit, as well as for swing line loans (“CCH Swing Line Loans”) for certain working capital requirements related to developing and placing into operation the Liquefaction Project. Loans under the CCH Working Capital Facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors. We may, from time to time, request increases in the commitments under the CCH Working Capital Facility of up to the maximum allowed under the Common Terms Agreement that was entered in concurrently with the 2015 CCH Credit Facility. Loans under the CCH Working Capital Facility, including CCH Working Capital Loans, CCH Swing Line Loans and loans made in connection with a draw upon any letter of credit (“CCH LC Loans” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) accrue interest at a variable rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the base rate (equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate, plus 0.50% , (2) the prime rate, and (3) one month LIBOR plus 0.50% ), plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate Revolving Loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum. Interest on CCH Working Capital Loans, CCH Swing Line Loans and CCH LC Loans is due and payable on the date the loan becomes due. Interest on LIBOR Revolving Loans is due and payable at the end of each LIBOR period, and interest on base rate Revolving Loans is due and payable at the end of each quarter. We incurred $8.0 million of debt issuance costs related to the CCH Working Capital Facility during the year ended December 31, 2016. We pay (1) a commitment fee equal to an annual rate of 40% of the applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of the excess of the total commitment amount over the principal amount outstanding without giving effect to any outstanding CCH Swing Line Loans, (2) a letter of credit fee equal to an annual rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR Revolving Loans on the undrawn portion of all letters of credit issued under the CCH Working Capital Facility, and (3) a letter of credit fronting fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20% of the undrawn portion of all letters of credit. Each of these fees is payable quarterly in arrears. If draws are made upon a letter of credit issued under the CCH Working Capital Facility and we do not elect for such draw (a “CCH LC Draw”) to be deemed an CCH LC Loan, we are required to pay the full amount of the CCH LC Draw on or prior to the business day following the notice of the CCH LC Draw. A CCH LC Draw accrues interest at an annual rate of 2.00% plus the base rate. The CCH Working Capital Facility matures on December 14, 2021, and we may prepay the Revolving Loans at any time without premium or penalty upon three business days’ notice and may re-borrow at any time. CCH LC Loans have a term of up to one year. CCH Swing Line Loans terminate upon the earliest of (1) the maturity date or earlier termination of the CCH Working Capital Facility, (2) the date 15 days after such CCH Swing Line Loan is made and (3) the first borrowing date for a CCH Working Capital Loan or CCH Swing Line Loan occurring at least four business days following the date the CCH Swing Line Loan is made. We are required to reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all CCH Working Capital Loans to zero for a period of five consecutive business days at least once each year.

These NOL carryforwards will expire between 2035 and 2036. We did no t have any uncertain tax positions which required accrual or disclosure as of December 31, 2016 or 2015. We have elected to report future interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Due to our NOLs and significant risk factors related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have established a valuation allowance to fully offset our federal deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. We will continue to evaluate our ability to release the valuation allowance in the future. The increase in the valuation allowance was $29.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are classified as non-current in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our taxable income or loss is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere. Cheniere experienced an ownership change within the provisions of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in 2008, 2010 and 2012. An analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of Cheniere’s NOLs was performed in accordance with IRC Section 382. It was determined that IRC Section 382 will not limit the use of Cheniere’s NOLs in full over the carryover period. Cheniere will continue to monitor trading activity in its respective shares which may cause an additional ownership change which could ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize Cheniere’s existing NOL carryforwards.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards	6 Months Ended	12 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2017	Dec. 31, 2016
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Standards	RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that had not been adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2017 : Standard Description Expected Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , and subsequent amendments thereto This standard provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model which replaces and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires that the costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers should be recognized as assets and amortized to match the pattern of transfer of goods or services to the customer if expected to be recoverable. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures. This guidance may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented subject to allowable practical expedients (“full retrospective approach”) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (“modified retrospective approach”). January 1, 2018 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we plan to adopt this standard using the full retrospective approach and we do not currently anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact upon our revenues. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued and may issue in the future amendments and interpretive guidance which may cause our evaluation to change. Furthermore, we routinely enter into new contracts and we cannot predict with certainty whether the accounting for any future contract under the new standard would result in a significant change from existing guidance. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for revenue recognition is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact that recognizing fulfillment costs as assets will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients. January 1, 2019 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we expect that the requirement to recognize all leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheets will be a significant change from current practice but will not have a material impact upon our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for leases is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this standard upon our results of operations or cash flows, whether we will elect to early adopt this standard or which, if any, practical expedients we will elect upon transition. ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This guidance may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.	RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that had not been adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2016: Standard Description Expected Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , and subsequent amendments thereto This standard provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model which replaces and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires that the costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers should be recognized as assets and amortized to match the pattern of transfer of goods or services to the customer if expected to be recoverable. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures. This guidance may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented subject to allowable practical expedients (“full retrospective approach”) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (“modified retrospective approach”). January 1, 2018 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we plan to adopt this standard using the full retrospective approach and we do not currently anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact upon our revenues. The FASB has issued and may issue in the future amendments and interpretive guidance which may cause our evaluation to change. Furthermore, we routinely enter into new contracts and we cannot predict with certainty whether the accounting for any future contract under the new standard would result in a significant change from existing guidance. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for revenue recognition is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact that recognizing fulfillment costs as assets will have on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients. January 1, 2019 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we expect that the requirement to recognize all leases will be a significant change from current practice but will not have a material impact upon our Balance Sheets. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for leases is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this standard upon our results of operations or cash flows, whether we will elect to early adopt this standard or which, if any, practical expedients we will elect upon transition. ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This guidance may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and related disclosures. Additionally, the following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that were adopted by the Company during the reporting period: Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis These amendments primarily affect asset managers and reporting entities involved with limited partnerships or similar entities, but the analysis is relevant in the evaluation of any reporting organization’s requirement to consolidate a legal entity. This guidance changes (1) the identification of variable interests, (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. This guidance may be early adopted, and may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. January 1, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements These standards require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line of credit arrangements may be presented as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. January 1, 2016 The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern This standard requires an entity’s management to evaluate, for each reporting period, whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. Additional disclosures are required if management concludes that conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Early adoption is permitted. December 31, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) This standard requires an entity to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. December 31, 2016 As a result of adopting this standard, our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows now reconciles the balance of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. This resulted in changes to previously reported cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business This standard narrows the accounting definition of a business and clarifies that when substantially all of the fair value of an integrated set of assets and activities is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. This guidance may be early adopted and must be adopted prospectively. December 31, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures.

We routinely assess our deferred tax assets and reduce such assets by a valuation allowance if we deem it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires significant judgment and is based upon our assessment of our ability to generate future taxable income among other factors.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus.

We have evaluated subsequent events through March 7, 2017, the date the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements were available to be issued.
Use of Estimates, Policy		Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to the value of property, plant and equipment, derivative instruments, asset retirement obligations (“AROs”), income taxes including valuation allowances for net deferred tax assets and fair value measurements. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates.
Fair Value, Policy		Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market. In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, we incorporate transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize our use of unobservable inputs in arriving at fair value estimates. Recurring fair-value measurements are performed for interest rate derivatives as disclosed in Note 5—Derivative Instruments . The carrying amount of restricted cash and accounts payable reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value. Debt fair values, as disclosed in Note 7—Debt , is the estimated amount we would have to pay to repurchase our debt in the open market, and are based on quoted market prices for identical instruments, if available, or based on valuations of similar debt instruments using observable or unobservable inputs.
Restricted Cash, Policy		Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of funds that are contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal and will not become available to us as cash and cash equivalents. We have presented restricted cash separately from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Accounting For LNG Activities, Policy		Accounting for LNG Activities Generally, we begin capitalizing the costs of our LNG terminal and related pipeline once the individual project meets the following criteria: (1) regulatory approval has been received, (2) financing for the project is available and (3) management has committed to commence construction. Prior to meeting these criteria, most of the costs associated with a project are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include professional fees associated with front-end engineering and design work, costs of securing necessary regulatory approvals, and other preliminary investigation and development activities related to our LNG terminal and related pipeline. Generally, costs that are capitalized prior to a project meeting the criteria otherwise necessary for capitalization include: land and lease option costs that are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and certain permits that are capitalized as other non-current assets. The costs of lease options are amortized over the life of the lease once obtained. If no lease is obtained, the costs are expensed. We capitalize interest and other related debt costs during the construction period of our LNG terminal and related pipeline. Upon commencement of operations, capitalized interest, as a component of the total cost, will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy		Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and general and administrative activities are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs incurred on debt obtained for the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as construction-in-process over the construction period or related debt term, whichever is shorter. We depreciate our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in other operating costs and expenses. Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value. We did not record any impairments related to property, plant and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines, Policy		Regulated Natural Gas Pipelines The Corpus Christi Pipeline is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC in accordance with the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company recording as assets those costs that have been or are expected to be approved for recovery from customers, or recording as liabilities those amounts that are expected to be required to be returned to customers, in a rate-setting process in a period different from the period in which the amounts would be recorded by an unregulated enterprise. Accordingly, we record assets and liabilities that result from the regulated rate-making process that may not be recorded under GAAP for non-regulated entities. We continually assess whether regulatory assets are probable of future recovery by considering factors such as applicable regulatory changes and recent rate orders applicable to other regulated entities. Based on this continual assessment, we believe the existing regulatory assets are probable of recovery. These regulatory assets and liabilities are primarily classified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred preliminary survey and investigation costs, other assets and other liabilities. We periodically evaluate their applicability under GAAP, and consider factors such as regulatory changes and the effect of competition. If cost-based regulation ends or competition increases, we may have to reduce our asset balances to reflect a market basis less than cost and write off the associated regulatory assets and liabilities. Items that may influence our assessment are: • inability to recover cost increases due to rate caps and rate case moratoriums; • inability to recover capitalized costs, including an adequate return on those costs through the rate-making process and the FERC proceedings; • excess capacity; • increased competition and discounting in the markets we serve; and • impacts of ongoing regulatory initiatives in the natural gas industry.
Derivatives Instruments, Policy		Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from interest rate risk. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities depending on the derivative position and the expected timing of settlement. When we have the contractual right and intend to net settle, derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings, unless we elect to apply hedge accounting and meet specified criteria, including completing contemporaneous hedge documentation. We did not have any derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. See Note 5—Derivative Instruments for additional details about our derivative instruments.
Concentration of Credit Risk, Policy		Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of restricted cash. We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels. We have not incurred losses related to these balances to date. The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that a counterparty will be unable to meet its commitments. Our interest rate derivative instruments are placed with investment grade financial institutions whom we believe are acceptable credit risks. We monitor counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, we cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments. CCL has entered into eight fixed price 20 -year SPAs with seven unaffiliated third parties. CCL is dependent on the respective counterparties’ creditworthiness and their willingness to perform under their respective SPAs.
Debt, Policy		Debt Our debt consists of long-term secured debt securities and credit facilities with banks and other lenders. Debt issuances are placed directly by us or through securities dealers or underwriters and are held by institutional and retail investors. Debt is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at par value net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term notes. Debt issuance costs directly related to the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the debt and are recorded in interest expense, net of capitalized interest using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt are recorded in gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt on our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Debt issuance and deferred financing costs consist primarily of arrangement fees, professional fees, legal fees and printing costs. Debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the debt liability unless incurred in connection with a line of credit arrangement, in which case they are presented as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets along with deferred financing costs. Debt issuance and deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense or property, plant and equipment over the term of the related debt facility. Upon early retirement of debt or amendment to a debt agreement, certain fees are written off to loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Asset Retirement Obligations, Policy		Asset Retirement Obligations We recognize AROs for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset and for conditional AROs in which the timing or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Our assessment of AROs is described below. We have no t recorded an ARO associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline. We believe that it is not feasible to predict when the natural gas transportation services provided by the Corpus Christi Pipeline will no longer be utilized. In addition, our right-of-way agreements associated with the Corpus Christi Pipeline have no stipulated termination dates. We intend to operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists in the United States and intend to maintain it regularly.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted	The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that had not been adopted by the Company as of June 30, 2017 : Standard Description Expected Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , and subsequent amendments thereto This standard provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model which replaces and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires that the costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers should be recognized as assets and amortized to match the pattern of transfer of goods or services to the customer if expected to be recoverable. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures. This guidance may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented subject to allowable practical expedients (“full retrospective approach”) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (“modified retrospective approach”). January 1, 2018 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we plan to adopt this standard using the full retrospective approach and we do not currently anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact upon our revenues. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued and may issue in the future amendments and interpretive guidance which may cause our evaluation to change. Furthermore, we routinely enter into new contracts and we cannot predict with certainty whether the accounting for any future contract under the new standard would result in a significant change from existing guidance. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for revenue recognition is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact that recognizing fulfillment costs as assets will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) This standard requires a lessee to recognize leases on its balance sheet by recording a lease liability representing the obligation to make future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee is permitted to make an election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The standard also modifies the definition of a lease and requires expanded disclosures. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with certain available practical expedients. January 1, 2019 We continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Preliminarily, we expect that the requirement to recognize all leases on our Consolidated Balance Sheets will be a significant change from current practice but will not have a material impact upon our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Because this assessment is preliminary and the accounting for leases is subject to significant judgment, this conclusion could change as we finalize our assessment. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this standard upon our results of operations or cash flows, whether we will elect to early adopt this standard or which, if any, practical expedients we will elect upon transition. ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory This standard requires the immediate recognition of the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This guidance may be early adopted, but only at the beginning of an annual period, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.	The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that had not been adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2016: Standard Description Expected Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , and subsequent amendments thereto This standard provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model which replaces and supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Recent Accounting Standards, Adopted		Additionally, the following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards that were adopted by the Company during the reporting period: Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis These amendments primarily affect asset managers and reporting entities involved with limited partnerships or similar entities, but the analysis is relevant in the evaluation of any reporting organization’s requirement to consolidate a legal entity. This guidance changes (1) the identification of variable interests, (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. This guidance may be early adopted, and may be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. January 1, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs and ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements These standards require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line of credit arrangements may be presented as an asset and subsequently amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. January 1, 2016 The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern This standard requires an entity’s management to evaluate, for each reporting period, whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. Additional disclosures are required if management concludes that conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Early adoption is permitted. December 31, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures. ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) This standard requires an entity to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance may be early adopted, and must be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. December 31, 2016 As a result of adopting this standard, our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows now reconciles the balance of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. This resulted in changes to previously reported cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business This standard narrows the accounting definition of a business and clarifies that when substantially all of the fair value of an integrated set of assets and activities is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, the integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. This guidance may be early adopted and must be adopted prospectively. December 31, 2016 The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements or related disclosures.
