Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION We are in various stages of developing natural gas liquefaction and export facilities at the Corpus Christi LNG terminal (the “Liquefaction Facilities”) near Corpus Christi, Texas and a 23 -mile natural gas supply pipeline that interconnects the Corpus Christi LNG terminal with several interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines (the “Corpus Christi Pipeline” and together with the Liquefaction Facilities, the “Liquefaction Project”) through our wholly owned subsidiaries CCL and CCP, respectively. The Liquefaction Project is being developed in stages with the first phase being three Trains (“Phase 1”). The first stage 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 (“Stage 1”) . The second stage includes Train 3, one LNG storage tank and the completion of the second partial berth (“Stage 2”) . Train 1 is operational, Train 2 is undergoing commissioning and Train 3 is under construction. 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 Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . 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 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2019 . 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 from Cheniere. Tax elections under a separate return basis may differ from tax elections taken on the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere. Recent Accounting Standards We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , and subsequent amendments thereto on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition approach to apply the standard at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019 with no retrospective adjustments to prior periods. 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. The adoption of the standard did not materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon adoption of the standard, we recorded right-of-use assets of $8.1 million in other non-current assets, net, and lease liabilities of $0.5 million in other current liabilities—affiliate, $5.2 million other non-current liabilities and $1.2 million in other non-current liabilities—affiliate.

We realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $8.3 million and $82.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, that were related to the sale of commissioning cargoes because these amounts were earned or loaded prior to the start of commercial operations of the Liquefaction Project, during the testing phase for its construction. We did no t realize any offsets to LNG terminal costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 .

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 hedge the exposure to volatility in a portion of the floating-rate interest payments on our credit facility (the “CCH Credit Facility”) and to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact our anticipated future issuance of debt (“ Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives ” and, collectively with the Interest Rate Derivatives , CCH Interest Rate Derivatives ”) and • commodity derivatives consisting of natural gas supply contracts for the commissioning and operation of the Liquefaction Project (“Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”) and associated economic hedges (collectively, the “Liquefaction Supply Derivatives”) . We recognize our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. 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. The following table shows the fair value of our derivative instruments that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , which are classified as derivative assets , derivative assets—related party, non-current derivative assets , non-current derivative assets—related party, derivative liabilities or non-current derivative liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Interest Rate Derivatives asset (liability) $ — $ (88,187 ) $ — $ (88,187 ) $ — $ 18,069 $ — $ 18,069 Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives liability — (6,640 ) — (6,640 ) — — — — Liquefaction Supply Derivatives asset (liability) (1,219 ) 2,992 6,085 7,858 1,299 2,990 (4,357 ) (68 ) We value our Interest Rate Derivatives using an income-based approach, utilizing observable inputs to the valuation model including interest rate curves, risk adjusted discount rates, credit spreads and other relevant data. We value our Liquefaction Supply Derivatives using a market-based approach incorporating present value techniques, as needed, using observable commodity price curves, when available, and other relevant data. The fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives is predominantly driven by observable and unobservable market commodity prices and, as applicable to our natural gas supply contracts, our assessment of the associated conditions precedent, including evaluating whether the respective market is available as pipeline infrastructure is developed. The fair value of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives incorporates risk premiums related to the satisfaction of conditions precedent, such as completion and placement into service of relevant pipeline infrastructure to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , some of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure was under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. We include a portion of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy as the fair value is developed through the use of internal models which may be impacted by inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace. The curves used to generate the fair value of our Physical 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 Physical 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. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , some of our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives existed within markets for which the pipeline infrastructure is under development to accommodate marketable physical gas flow. The Level 3 fair value measurements of natural gas positions within our Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives could be materially impacted by a significant change in certain natural gas market basis spreads due to the contractual notional amount represented by our Level 3 positions, which is a substantial portion of our overall Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives portfolio. The following table includes quantitative information for the unobservable inputs for our Level 3 Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives as of June 30, 2019 : Net Fair Value Asset (in thousands) Valuation Approach Significant Unobservable Input Significant Unobservable Inputs Range Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives $6,085 Market approach incorporating present value techniques Henry Hub Basis Spread $(0.700) - $0.050 The following table shows the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 Physical Liquefaction Supply Derivatives , including those with related parties, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 1,610 $ (207 ) $ (4,357 ) $ (91 ) Realized and mark-to-market gains: Included in cost of sales 4,369 324 7,733 675 Purchases and settlements: Purchases 181 (111 ) 918 (111 ) Settlements 50 — 2,113 — Transfers out of Level 3 (1) (125 ) 467 (322 ) — Balance, end of period $ 6,085 $ 473 $ 6,085 $ 473 Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to instruments still held at end of period $ 4,369 $ 324 $ 7,733 $ 675 (1) Transferred to Level 2 as a result of observable market for the underlying natural gas purchase agreements. 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 the unconditional right of set-off in the event of default. 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. Additionally, counterparties are at risk that we will be unable to meet our commitments in instances where our derivative instruments are in a liability position. We incorporate both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, set-off rights and guarantees. CCH Interest Rate Derivatives During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , there were no changes to the terms of our Interest Rate Derivatives , which we entered into to protect against volatility of future cash flows and hedge a portion of the variable interest payments on the CCH Credit Facility . In June 2019, we entered into the Interest Rate Forward Start Derivatives to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact anticipated future issuance of debt by CCH, which is anticipated by the end of 2020.

Revenues from Contracts with Customers	REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 LNG revenues $ 119,410 $ — $ 131,655 $ — LNG revenues—affiliate 181,548 — 274,573 — Total revenues from customers 300,958 — 406,228 — Net derivative losses (1) (885 ) — (74 ) — Total revenues $ 300,073 $ — $ 406,154 $ — (1) See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information about our derivatives. Because many of our sales contracts have long-term durations, we are contractually entitled to significant future consideration which we have not yet recognized as revenue. The following table discloses the aggregate amount of the transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 : June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Unsatisfied Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) Unsatisfied Weighted Average Recognition Timing (years) (1) LNG revenues $ 33.8 11 $ 33.9 12 LNG revenues—affiliate 1.0 14 1.0 14 Total revenues $ 34.8 $ 34.9 (1) The weighted average recognition timing represents an estimate of the number of years during which we shall have recognized half of the unsatisfied transaction price. We have elected the following exemptions which omit certain potential future sources of revenue from the table above: (1) We omit from the table above all performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. (2) We omit from the table above all variable consideration that is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation when that performance obligation qualifies as a series. The table above excludes substantially all variable consideration under our SPAs. The amount of revenue from variable fees that is not included in the transaction price will vary based on the future prices of Henry Hub throughout the contract terms, to the extent customers elect to take delivery of their LNG, and adjustments to the consumer price index. Certain of our contracts contain additional variable consideration based on the outcome of contingent events and the movement of various indexes. We have not included such variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent the consideration is considered constrained due to the uncertainty of ultimate pricing and receipt. Approximately 46% of our LNG revenues during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were related to variable consideration received from customers. All of our LNG revenues—affiliate were related to variable consideration received from customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 . We have entered into contracts to sell LNG that are conditioned upon one or both of the parties achieving certain milestones such as reaching a final investment decision on a certain liquefaction Train, obtaining financing or achieving substantial completion of a Train and any related facilities. These contracts are considered completed contracts for revenue recognition purposes and are included in the transaction price above when the conditions are considered probable of being met.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, Policy	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 Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . 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 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Income Taxes, Policy	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 from Cheniere. Tax elections under a separate return basis may differ from tax elections taken on the consolidated federal income tax return of Cheniere.
Recent Accounting Standards	Recent Accounting Standards We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , and subsequent amendments thereto on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition approach to apply the standard at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019 with no retrospective adjustments to prior periods. 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. The adoption of the standard did not materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon adoption of the standard, we recorded right-of-use assets of $8.1 million in other non-current assets, net, and lease liabilities of $0.5 million in other current liabilities—affiliate, $5.2 million other non-current liabilities and $1.2 million in other non-current liabilities—affiliate.
