Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	2. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net earnings and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Adoption of new and revised standards	3. Adoption of new and revised standards (a) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the year beginning January 1, 2022: The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that such pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company or no material impact is expected in the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption. (b) New and amended standards adopted by the Company: In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(“Hygo”), a 50-50 joint venture between Golar LNG Limited (“GLNG”) and Stonepeak Infrastructure Fund II Cayman (G) Ltd., a fund managed by Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners (“Stonepeak”), in exchange for 31,372,549 shares of NFE Class A common stock and $580,000 in cash (the "Hygo Merger"). The acquisition of Hygo expanded the Company’s footprint in South America with three gas-to-power projects in Brazil’s large and fast-growing market. Assets acquired as a result of the Hygo Merger are a 50% interest in a 1.5GW power plant in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Power Plant”) and its operating FSRU terminal in Sergipe, Brazil (the “Sergipe Facility”), as well as a terminal and power plant under development in the State of Pará, Brazil (the “Barcarena Facility” and " Barcarena Power Plant," respectively), and a terminal under development on the southern coast of Brazil (the “Santa Catarina Facility”). In addition, the Company also acquired two LNG carriers and the Nanook , a newbuild FSRU moored and in service at the Sergipe Facility. Based on the closing price of NFE’s common stock on April 15, 2021, the total value of consideration in the Hygo Merger was $1.98 billion, shown as follows: Consideration As of Cash consideration for Hygo Preferred Shares $ 180,000 Cash consideration for Hygo Common Shares 400,000 Total Cash Consideration $ 580,000 Merger consideration to be paid in shares of NFE Common Stock 1,400,784 Total Non-Cash Consideration 1,400,784 Total Consideration $ 1,980,784 The Company determined it was the accounting acquirer of Hygo, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The total purchase price of the transaction was allocated to identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of Hygo based on their respective estimated fair values as of the closing date. The final adjusted fair values assigned to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of Hygo as of the closing date were as follows: Hygo As of Assets Acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 26,641 Restricted cash 48,183 Accounts receivable 5,126 Inventory 1,022 Other current assets 8,095 Construction in process 128,625 Property, plant and equipment, net 385,389 Equity method investments 823,521 Finance leases, net 601,000 Deferred tax assets, net 1,065 Other non-current assets 52,996 Total assets acquired: $ 2,081,663 Liabilities Assumed Current portion of long-term debt $ 38,712 Accounts payable 3,059 Accrued liabilities 39,149 Other current liabilities 13,495 Long-term debt 433,778 Deferred tax liabilities, net 275,410 Other non-current liabilities 21,520 Total liabilities assumed: 825,123 Non-controlling interest 38,306 Net assets acquired: 1,218,234 Goodwill $ 762,550 The fair value of Hygo’s non-controlling interest (“NCI”) as of April 15, 2021 was $38,306, including the fair value of the net assets of VIEs that Hygo has consolidated. These VIEs are SPVs (both defined below) for the sale and leaseback of certain vessels, and Hygo has no equity investment in these entities. The fair value of NCI was determined based on the valuation of the SPV’s external debt and the lease receivable asset associated with the sales leaseback transaction with Hygo’s subsidiary, using a discounted cash flow method. The fair value of receivables acquired from Hygo was $8,009, which approximated the gross contractual amount; no material amounts were expected to be uncollectible. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents access to additional LNG and natural gas distribution systems and power markets, including workforce, that will allow the Company to rapidly develop and deploy LNG to power solutions. While the goodwill is not deductible for local tax purposes, it is treated as an amortizable expense for the U.S. global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") computation. The Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include Hygo’s result of operations for the entire period. Revenue and net loss attributable to Hygo during the period was $64,759 and $257,434, respectively. GMLP Merger On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common units, representing all voting interests, of Golar LNG Partners LP ("GMLP") in exchange for $3.55 in cash per common unit and for each of the outstanding membership interest of GMLP’s general partner (the "GMLP Merger, and collectively with the Hygo Merger, the "Mergers"). In conjunction with the closing of the GMLP Merger, NFE simultaneously extinguished a portion of GMLP’s debt for total consideration of $1.15 billion. As a result of the GMLP Merger, the Company acquired a fleet of six FSRUs and four LNG carriers, which are expected to help support the Company’s existing facilities and international business development pipeline. Acquired FSRUs are operating in Brazil, Indonesia and Jordan under time charters, and uncontracted vessels are available for short term employment in the spot market. Assets acquired also included an interest in a floating natural gas liquefaction vessel ("FLNG"), the Hilli Episeyo (the "Hilli"), which is expected to provide consistent cash flow streams under a long-term tolling arrangement. The interest in the FLNG facility also provides the Company access to intellectual property that will be used to develop future FLNG solutions. The consideration paid by the Company in the GMLP Merger was as follows: Consideration As of GMLP Common Units ($3.55 per unit x 69,301,636 units) $ 246,021 GMLP General Partner Interest ($3.55 per unit x 1,436,391 units) 5,099 Partnership Phantom Units ($3.55 per unit x 58,960 units) 209 Cash Consideration $ 251,329 GMLP debt repaid in acquisition 899,792 Total Cash Consideration 1,151,121 Cash settlement of preexisting relationship (3,978) Total Consideration $ 1,147,143 The Company determined it is the accounting acquirer of GMLP, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The total purchase price of the transaction was allocated to identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of GMLP based on their respective estimated fair values as of the closing date. The final adjusted fair values assigned to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests of GMLP as of the closing date were as follows: GMLP As of Assets Acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 41,461 Restricted cash 24,816 Accounts receivable 3,195 Inventory 2,151 Other current assets 2,789 Equity method investments 355,500 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,063,215 Intangible assets, net 106,500 Deferred tax assets, net 963 Other non-current assets 4,400 Total assets acquired: $ 1,604,990 Liabilities Assumed Current portion of long-term debt $ 158,073 Accounts payable 3,019 Accrued liabilities 17,226 Other current liabilities 73,774 Deferred tax liabilities, net 14,907 Other non-current liabilities 10,630 Total liabilities assumed: 277,629 Non-controlling interest 196,156 Net assets to be acquired: 1,131,205 Goodwill $ 15,938 The fair value of GMLP’s NCI as of April 15, 2021 was $196,156, which represents the fair value of other investors’ interest in the Mazo , GMLP’s preferred units which were not acquired by the Company and the fair value of net assets of an SPV formed for the purpose of a sale and leaseback of the Eskimo . The fair value of GMLP’s preferred units and the valuation of the SPV’s external debt and the lease receivable asset associated with the sale leaseback transaction have been estimated using a discounted cash flow method. The fair value of receivables acquired from GMLP was $4,797, which approximated the gross contractual amount; no material amounts were expected to be uncollectible. The Company acquired favorable and unfavorable leases for the use of GMLP’s vessels. The fair value of the favorable contracts was $106,500 and the fair value of the unfavorable contracts was $13,400. The total weighted average amortization period is approximately three years; the favorable contract asset has a weighted average amortization period of approximately three years and the unfavorable contract liability has a weighted average amortization period of approximately one year. The Company and GMLP had an existing lease agreement prior to the GMLP Merger. As a result of the acquisition, the lease agreement and any associated receivable and payable balances were effectively settled. The lease agreement also included provisions that required a subsidiary of NFE to indemnify GMLP to the extent that GMLP incurred certain tax liabilities as a result of the lease. A loss of $3,978 related to settlement of this indemnification provision was recognized in Transaction and integration costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the second quarter of 2021. The Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include GMLP’s result of operations for the entire period. Revenue and net income attributable to GMLP during the period was $172,355 and $127,764, respectively. Unaudited pro forma financial information The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of the Company as if the Mergers had occurred on January 1, 2020. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2021 Revenue $ 304,656 $ 780,875 Net income (loss) (8,994) (75,963) Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (12,822) (95,954) The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2020, adjusted for transaction costs incurred, adjustments to depreciation expense associated with the recognition of the fair value of vessels acquired, additional amortization expense associated with the recognition of the fair value of favorable and unfavorable customer contracts for vessel charters, additional interest expense as a result of incurring new debt and extinguishing historical debt, elimination of a pre-existing lease relationship between the Company and GMLP, and a step-up of the equity method investments. Adjustments for non-recurring items increased pro forma net income by $37,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021; there was no significant adjustments for non-recurring items for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Transaction costs incurred and the elimination of a pre-existing lease relationship between the Company and GMLP are considered to be non-recurring. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Mergers. Asset acquisitions On January 12, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of CH4 Energia Ltda. (“CH4”), an entity that owns key permits and authorizations to develop an LNG terminal and an up to 1.37GW gas-fired power plant at the Port of Suape in Brazil. The purchase consideration consisted of $903 of cash paid at closing in addition to potential future payments contingent on achieving certain construction milestones of up to approximately $3,600. As the contingent payments meet the definition of a derivative, the fair value of the contingent payments as of the acquisition date of $3,047 was included as part of the purchase consideration and was recognized in Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The selling shareholders of CH4 may also receive future payments based on gas consumed by the power plant or sold to customers from the LNG terminal. The purchase of CH4 has been accounted for as an asset acquisition. As a result, no goodwill was recorded, and the Company’s acquisition-related costs of $295 were included in the purchase consideration. The total purchase consideration of $5,776, which included a deferred tax liability of $1,531 recognized as a result from the acquisition, was allocated to permits and authorizations acquired and was recorded within Intangible assets, net. The Company is seeking to obtain the necessary approvals to, and continues to endeavor in the development of, an LNG import terminal and a gas-fired power plant at the Port of Suape. On March 11, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Pecém Energia S.A. (“Pecém”) and Energética Camacari Muricy II S.A. (“Muricy”). These companies collectively hold grants to operate as an independent power provider and 15-year power purchase agreements for the development of thermoelectric power plants in the State of Bahia, Brazil. The purchase consideration consisted of $8,041 of cash paid at closing in addition to potential future payments contingent on achieving commercial operations of a gas-fired power plant of up to approximately $10.5 million. As the contingent payments meet the definition of a derivative, the fair value of the contingent payments as of the acquisition date of $7,473 was included as part of the purchase consideration and was recognized in Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The selling shareholders may also receive future payments based on power generated by a power plant, subject to a maximum payment of approximately $4.6 million.

Vessel Financing Transaction

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Vessel Financing Transaction	5. Vessel financing transaction On August 15, 2022, the Company and an affiliate of certain funds or investment vehicles managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., AP Neptune Holdings Ltd. ("Purchaser"), completed a sales and financing transaction resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $1.85 billion. This sales and financing transaction comprised (1) the formation of a limited liability company doing business as Energos Infrastructure ("Energos"), (2) the sale for cash of eight vessels, along with these vessels' owning and operating entities to the Purchaser, (3) the contribution of acquired vessel owning entities to Energos by the Purchaser and (4) the Company's contribution of three vessels, along with each vessels' owning and operating entities, to Energos in exchange for equity in Energos (the “Vessel Financing Transaction”). As a result of the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company owns approximately a 20% equity interest in Energos, with the remaining interest owned by the Purchaser. The Company has accounted for the investment in Energos as an equity method investment; see Note 13 for further discussion of this investment. In connection with the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company entered into long-term time charter agreements for periods of up to 20 years in respect of ten of the eleven vessels, the terms of which will commence upon the expiration of each vessel's existing third-party charter. Vessels chartered to the Company at the time of closing were classified as finance leases. These charters prevent the recognition of a sale of these ten vessels to Energos, and as such, proceeds associated with these ten vessels have been treated as failed sale leasebacks. These vessels continue to be recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as Property, plant and equipment, and the Company has recognized the proceeds received from this failed sale leaseback financing as debt ("Vessel Financing Obligation"). Certain vessels included in the Vessel Financing Transaction are currently chartered to third parties under operating leases. The Company has guaranteed payments from the third-party charterers to Energos and will begin to charter the vessels immediately should the third- party charter terminate. As the Company has not recognized the sale of these vessels and proceeds received from the Vessel Financing Transaction are collateralized by the cash flows from these charters, revenue generated from these operating leases continues to be recognized as Vessel charter revenue; estimated costs of operating the vessels is included in Vessel operating expenses over the terms of the third-party charters. Cash flows from these third-party charters are included as part of debt service for the sale leaseback financing debt, and the Company will recognize additional financing costs within Interest expense, net. The Company has not entered into a charter agreement to leaseback the Nanook . The Nanook was previously accounted for as a finance lease; see Note 8 for discussion of derecognition of the finance lease upon the sale of this financial asset. A portion of proceeds received were utilized to extinguish certain debt, including the Vessel Term Loan (defined below) and the termination of lessor VIE arrangements (discussed in Note 6 below). Upon repayment, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14,449; see Notes 6 and 20 below for further detail. 13. Equity method investments As a result of the Mergers, the Company acquired investments in Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe Participações S.A. (“CELSEPAR”) and Hilli LLC, both of which have been recognized as equity method investments. The Company has a 50% ownership interest in both entities. As part of the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company contributed certain vessels to Energos in exchange for an equity interest, and this equity interest has been accounted for under the equity method. The Company has a 20% ownership interest in Energos. The investment in CELSEPAR is reflected in the Terminals and Infrastructure segment; the investments in Hilli LLC and Energos are reflected in the Ships segments. Changes in the balance of the Company’s equity method investments is as follows: September 30, 2022 Equity method investments as of December 31, 2021 $ 1,182,013 Capital contributions 133,314 Dividends (23,195) Equity in earnings of investees 14,781 Other-than-temporary impairment (369,207) Foreign currency translation adjustment 78,644 Equity method investments as of September 30, 2022 $ 1,016,350 Capital contributions primarily consisted of $129,517 of contribution of assets to Energos in conjunction with the Vessel Financing Transaction. The carrying amount of equity method investments as of September 30, 2022 is as follows: September 30, 2022 Hilli LLC $ 386,757 CELSEPAR 500,076 Energos 129,517 Total $ 1,016,350 As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments exceeded its proportionate share of the underlying net assets of its investees by $525,209 and $792,995, respectively, and the basis difference attributable to amortizable net assets is amortized to (Loss) income from equity method investments over the remaining estimated useful lives of the underlying assets. CELSEPAR As of September 30, 2022, CELSEPAR was jointly owned and operated with Ebrasil Energia Ltda. (“Ebrasil”), an affiliate of Eletricidade do Brasil S.A., and the Company accounted for this 50% investment using the equity method. CELSEPAR owns 100% of the share capital of Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe S.A. (“CELSE”), the owner and operator of the Sergipe Power Plant. On May 31, 2022, LNG Power Limited (“LNG Power”), an indirect subsidiary of NFE and direct owner of the CELSEPAR investment, and certain Ebrasil sellers as owners of CELSEPAR (together with LNG Power, the “Sergipe Sellers”), Eneva S.A., as purchaser ("Eneva") and Eletricidade do Brasil S.A. -- Ebrasil, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Eneva agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of (a) CELSEPAR and (b) Centrais Elétricas Barra dos Coqueiros S.A. ("CEBARRA"), which owns 1.7 GW of expansion rights adjacent to the Sergipe Power Plant, for a purchase price of R$6.10 billion in cash (approximately $1.10 billion using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022) (the “Sergipe Sale”). The purchase price payable by Eneva accrued interest at a rate of CDI + 1% from December 31, 2021 until the date of the closing and was subject to certain customary adjustments, including for the amount of any (a) distributions or payments to or for the benefit of Sergipe Sellers and their affiliates and liabilities incurred or assumed for the benefit of Sergipe Sellers or their affiliates, and (b) certain fees and expenses incurred by CELSEPAR and CEBARRA in connection with the Sergipe Sale. The Sergipe Sale was completed on October 3, 2022, and Eneva paid the Sergipe Sellers R$6.80 billion (approximately $1.30 billion using the exchange rate as of September 30, 2022), prior to the settlement of debt, settlement of other contractual liabilities and payment of transaction costs and consent fees at closing. LNG Power also entered into a foreign currency forward to mitigate foreign currency risk to the expected proceeds from the transaction, and this foreign currency forward settled at the time of the Sergipe Sale resulting in a gain of $20,394, recognized in Other (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As a result of the announcement of the Sergipe Sale, the Company has recognized an other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") of the investment in CELSEPAR totaling $23,760 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $369,207 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and this loss was recognized in loss (income) from equity method investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Nonrecurring, Level 2 inputs were used to estimate the fair value of the investment for the purpose of recognizing the OTTI. Hilli LLC The Company acquired 50% of the common units of Hilli LLC (“Hilli Common Units”) as part of the GMLP Merger. Hilli LLC owns Golar Hilli Corporation (“Hilli Corp”), the disponent owner of the Hilli . The Hilli is currently operating under an 8-year liquefaction tolling agreement (“LTA”) with Perenco Cameroon S.A. and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures. The ownership interests in Hilli LLC are represented by three classes of units, Hilli Common Units, Series A Special Units and Series B Special Units. The Company did not acquire any of the Series A Special Units or Series B Special Units. The Company determined that Hilli LLC is a VIE, and the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Hilli LLC. Thus, Hilli LLC has not been consolidated into the financial statements. The Hilli Common Units provide the Company with significant influence over Hilli LLC and the investment in Hilli Common Units has been recognized as an equity method investment. Within 60 days after the end of each quarter, GLNG, the managing member of Hilli LLC, determines the amount of Hilli LLC’s available cash and appropriate reserves, and Hilli LLC makes a distribution to the unitholders of Hilli LLC of the available cash, subject to such reserves. Hilli LLC makes distributions when declared by GLNG, provided that no distributions may be made on the Hilli Common Units unless current and accumulated Series A Distributions and Series B Distributions have been paid. The Company is required to reimburse other investors in Hilli LLC or may receive reimbursements from other investors in Hilli LLC for 50% of the amount, if any, by which certain operating expenses and withholding taxes of Hilli LLC are above or below an annual threshold. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, distributions made by Hilli LLC included $2.0 million of operating expense reimbursements. Hilli Corp is a party to a Memorandum of Agreement, dated September 9, 2015, with Fortune Lianjiang Shipping S.A., a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (“Fortune”), pursuant to which Hilli Corp has sold to and leased back from Fortune the Hilli under a 10-year bareboat charter agreement (the “Hilli Leaseback”). The Hilli Leaseback provided post construction financing for the Hilli in the amount of $960 million. Under the Hilli Leaseback, Hilli Corp will pay to Fortune forty consecutive equal quarterly repayments of 1.375% of the construction cost, plus interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 4.15%. As of September 30, 2022 the maximum exposure as a result of the Company’s ownership in the Hilli LLC is the carrying value of the equity method investment and the outstanding portion of the Hilli Leaseback which have been guaranteed by the Company.

VIEs

VIEs	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
VIEs [Abstract]
VIEs	6. VIEs Lessor VIEs The Company assumed sale leaseback arrangements for four vessels as part of the Mergers, o ne of which was terminated in 2021. Prior to termination, to effectuate a financing, the vessel was sold to a single asset entity wholly owned by the lending bank (a special purpose vehicle or "SPV") and then leased back. While the Company did not hold an equity investment in these lending entities, these entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs"), and the Company had a variable interest in these lending entities due to the guarantees and fixed price repurchase options that absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company had concluded that it had the power to direct the economic activities that most impact the economic performance as it controlled the significant decisions relating to the assets and it had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the residual returns from the leased asset. Therefore, prior to termination, the Company consolidated these lending entities. As NFE had no equity interest in these VIEs, all equity attributable to the VIEs was included in non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Transactions between NFE's wholly-owned subsidiaries and the VIEs were eliminated in consolidation, including sale leaseback transactions. The remaining three sale leaseback arrangements were terminated as part of the Vessel Financing Transaction in the third quarter of 2022, as discussed in Note 5. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was no longer party to any lessor VIE’s. Prior to the Vessel Financing Transaction, the most significant impact of the lessor VIEs operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was an addition to interest expense of $1,977 and $6,348 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Upon termination of the sale leaseback financing arrangements in the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9,082 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the period subsequent to the completion of the Mergers in 2021, the most significant impact of the lessor VIEs operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was an addition to interest expense of $15,263 and $8,628 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Upon assumption of the debt held by VIEs in conjunction with the Mergers, the Company recognized the liabilities assumed at fair value, and the amortization of the discount of $11,500 and $1,843 was recognized as an addition to interest expense incurred of $3,713 and $6,785 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue recognition	7. Revenue recognition Operating revenue includes revenue from sales of LNG and natural gas as well as outputs from the Company’s natural gas-fueled power generation facilities, including power and steam, and the sale of LNG cargos. Included in operating revenue are LNG cargo sales of $350,550 and $944,751 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 , respectively, and $32,605 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Other revenue includes revenue for development services as well as interest income from the Company’s finance leases. Under most customer contracts, invoicing occurs once the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers totaled $433,449 and $192,533, respectively, and were included in Receivables, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of current expected credit losses of $854 and $164, respectively. The increase in receivables outstanding is due to invoices from LNG cargo sales outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and the significant portion of the receivables have been settled subsequent to September 30, 2022. Other items included in Receivables, net not related to revenue from contracts with customers represent leases which are accounted for outside the scope of ASC 606 and receivables associated with reimbursable costs. The Company has recognized contract liabilities, comprised of unconditional payments due or paid under the contracts with customers prior to the Company’s satisfaction of the related performance obligations. The performance obligations are expected to be satisfied during the next 12 months, and the contract liabilities are classified within Other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets are comprised of the transaction price allocated to completed performance obligations that will be billed to customers in subsequent periods. The contract liabilities and contract assets balances as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are detailed below: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Contract assets, net - current $ 7,923 $ 7,462 Contract assets, net - non-current 30,858 36,757 Total contract assets, net $ 38,781 $ 44,219 Contract liabilities $ 11,255 $ 2,951 Revenue recognized in the year from: Amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the year $ 2,951 $ 8,028 Contract assets are presented net of expected credit losses of $291 and $442 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract assets was comprised of $38,500 and $43,839 of unbilled receivables, respectively, that represent unconditional rights to payment only subject to the passage of time. The Company has recognized costs to fulfill a contract with a significant customer, which primarily consist of expenses required to enhance resources to deliver under the agreement with the customer. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has capitalized $10,528 of which $604 of these costs is presented within Other current assets and $9,924 is presented within Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had capitalized $10,981, of which $604 of these costs was presented within Other current assets and $10,377 was presented within Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began delivery under the agreement and started recognizing these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the agreement. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations Some of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of less than a year. The Company applied the optional exemption not to report any unfulfilled performance obligations related to these contracts. The Company has arrangements in which LNG, natural gas or outputs from the Company’s power generation facilities are sold on a “take-or-pay” basis whereby the customer is obligated to pay for the minimum guaranteed volumes even if it does not take delivery. The price under these agreements is typically based on a market index plus a fixed margin. The fixed transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under these arrangements represents the fixed margin multiplied by the outstanding minimum guaranteed volumes. The Company expects to recognize this revenue over the following time periods. The pattern of recognition reflects the minimum guaranteed volumes in each period: Period Revenue Remainder of 2022 $ 68,608 2023 514,883 2024 511,208 2025 502,416 2026 500,277 Thereafter 8,101,814 Total $ 10,199,206 For all other sales contracts that have a term exceeding one year, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606 under which the Company does not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. For these excluded contracts, the sources of variability are (a) the market index prices of natural gas used to price the contracts, and (b) the variation in volumes that may be delivered to the customer. Both sources of variability are expected to be resolved at or shortly before delivery of each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam. As each unit of LNG, natural gas, power or steam represents a separate performance obligation, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied. Lessor arrangements The Company’s vessel charters of LNG carriers and FSRUs can take the form of operating or finance leases. Property, plant and equipment subject to vessel charters accounted for as operating leases is included within Vessels within "Note 15. Property, plant and equipment, net." Vessels included in the Vessel Financing Transaction, including those vessels chartered to customers, continue to be recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and as such, the carrying amount of these vessels that are leased to customers under operating leases is as follows: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Property, plant and equipment $ 1,292,957 $ 1,274,234 Accumulated depreciation (67,913) (31,849) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 1,225,044 $ 1,242,385 The components of lease income from vessel operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 are shown below. As the Company has not recognized the sale of the vessels included in the Vessel Financing Transaction, the operating lease income below includes income of $43,416 from third-party charters of vessels included in the Vessel Financing Transaction which was recognized after the completion of the Vessel Financing Transaction.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases, as lessee	8. Leases, as lessee The Company has operating leases primarily for the use of LNG vessels, marine port space, office space, land and equipment under non-cancellable lease agreements. The Company’s leases may include multiple optional renewal periods that are exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain that the renewal options would be exercised, and the associated lease payments for such periods are reflected in the right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company’s leases include fixed lease payments which may include escalation terms based on a fixed percentage or may vary based on an inflation index or other market adjustments. Escalations based on changes in inflation indices and market adjustments and other lease costs that vary based on the use of the underlying asset are not included as lease payments in the calculation of the lease liability or right-of-use asset; such payments are included in variable lease cost when the obligation that triggers the variable payment becomes probable. Variable lease cost includes contingent rent payments for office space based on the percentage occupied by the Company in addition to common area charges and other charges that are variable in nature. The Company also has a component of lease payments that are variable related to the LNG vessels, in which the Company may receive credits based on the performance of the LNG vessels during the period. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities consisted of the following: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Operating right-of-use-assets $ 369,115 $ 285,751 Finance right-of-use-assets 22,373 23,912 Total right-of-use assets $ 391,488 $ 309,663 Current lease liabilities: Operating lease liabilities $ 47,517 $ 43,395 Finance lease liabilities 3,845 3,719 Total current lease liabilities $ 51,362 $ 47,114 Non-current lease liabilities: Operating lease liabilities $ 305,124 $ 219,189 Finance lease liabilities 12,144 14,871 Total non-current lease liabilities $ 317,268 $ 234,060 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s operating lease cost recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Fixed lease cost $ 19,433 $ 9,450 $ 58,346 $ 30,231 Variable lease cost 622 221 1,558 1,417 Short-term lease cost 6,204 523 12,326 2,752 Lease cost - Cost of sales $ 23,438 $ 7,954 $ 64,453 $ 27,983 Lease cost - Operations and maintenance 1,066 486 2,675 1,592 Lease cost - Selling, general and administrative 1,755 1,754 5,102 4,825 For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has capitalized $4,005 and $5,297 of lease costs, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has capitalized $15,220 and $8,809 of lease costs. Capitalized costs include of vessels and port space used during the commissioning of development projects in addition to short-term lease costs for vessels chartered by the Company to transport inventory from a supplier’s facilities to the Company’s storage locations which are capitalized to inventory. Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, leases for ISO tanks and a parcel of land that transfer the ownership in underlying assets to the Company at the end of the lease have commenced, and these leases are treated as finance leases. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s finance interest expense and amortization recorded in Interest expense and Depreciation and amortization, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Interest expense related to finance leases $ 208 $ 202 $ 655 $ 202 Amortization of right-of-use asset related to finance leases 378 228 1,137 228 Cash paid for operating leases is reported in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial instruments	9. Financial instruments Interest rate and currency risk management In connection with the Mergers, the Company acquired an interest rate swap that GMLP used to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates by converting floating rate interest obligations to fixed rates, which from an economic perspective hedges the interest rate exposure. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into two foreign currency contingent, non-deliverable forwards to manage foreign currency impacts of the sale of its interest in CELSEPAR and CEBARRA; see discussion of the Sergipe Sale (all defined below) in Note 13. The forwards were designed to protect the Company's expected proceeds from currency translation loss. The Company does not hold or issue instruments for speculative purposes, and the counterparties to such contracts are major banking and financial institutions. Credit risk exists to the extent that the counterparties are unable to perform under the contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by any counterparties. The following table summarizes the terms of the interest rate swap and the foreign currency forward purchase as of September 30, 2022 : Instrument Notional Amount Maturity Dates Fixed Forward Foreign Interest rate swap: Receiving floating, pay fixed $ 331,500 March 2026 2.86% N/A Foreign currency forward purchase R$ 2,700,000 February 2023 N/A Based on settlement date During the third quarter of 2022, in conjunction with the repayment of the Debenture Loan (defined below), the Company settled a cross-currency interest rate swap utilized to economically hedge against interest rate and foreign currency variability associated with this financing. The mark-to-market gain or loss on the interest rate swap and other derivative instruments that are not intended to mitigate commodity risk are reported in Other (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Commodity risk management During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a commodity swap transaction to swap market pricing exposure for a portion of January 2023 deliveries (approximately 1.5 TBtus) for a fixed price of $61.87 per MMBtu. The swap will settle in January 2023, and mark-to-market gains on this instrument have been recognized as a reduction to Cost of sales in the amount of $7,906. Fair value Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows: • Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs. • Level 3 – unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability. The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: • Market approach – uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. • Income approach – uses valuation techniques, such as the discounted cash flow technique, to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts. • Cost approach – based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). The Company uses the market approach when valuing investment in equity securities which is recorded in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balances sheets as of September 30, 2022. The Company uses the income approach when valuing the following financial instruments: ◦ Interest rate swap has been recorded within Other non-current assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. ◦ The assets associated with the foreign currency forward purchase and the commodity swap are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. ◦ Contingent consideration derivative liability – consideration due to the sellers in asset acquisitions when certain contingent events occur. The liability associated with these derivative liabilities is recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022. The fair value of certain derivative instruments, including the interest rate swap and foreign currency forwards is estimated considering current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and the creditworthiness of counterparties. The Company estimates fair value of the contingent consideration derivative liabilities and the equity agreement using a discounted cash flows method with discount rates based on the average yield curve for bonds with similar credit ratings and matching terms to the discount periods as well as a probability of the contingent events occurring. The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, including those that are measured at fair value, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2022 Assets Investment in equity securities $ 8,475 $ — $ 7,678 $ 16,153 Interest rate swap — 12,293 — 12,293 Foreign currency forward purchase — — 20,394 20,394 Commodity swap — 7,906 — 7,906 Liabilities Contingent consideration derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 46,203 $ 46,203 December 31, 2021 Assets Investment in equity securities $ 11,195 $ — $ 7,678 $ 18,873 Liabilities Contingent consideration derivative liabilities $ — $ — $ 48,849 $ 48,849 Cross-currency interest rate swap — 2,167 — 2,167 Interest rate swap — 19,762 — 19,762 The Company believes the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The table below summarizes the fair value adjustment to instruments measured at Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, including the contingent consideration derivative liabilities and foreign currency forward purchase. These adjustments have been recorded within Other (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Contingent consideration derivative liabilities - Fair value adjustment - loss (gain) $ 177 $ 155 $ 1,161 $ (558) Foreign currency forward purchase - (gain) (2,923) — (20,394) — During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no settlements of other financial instruments or any transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy other than the settlement of the cross-currency interest rate swap. Under the Company’s interest rate swap, the Company is required to provide cash collateral, and as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $2,500 and $12,500, respectively, of cash collateral is presented as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap has a credit arrangement which requires the Company to provide cash collateral when the market value of the instrument falls below a specified threshold, up to $12,500.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity method investments	5. Vessel financing transaction On August 15, 2022, the Company and an affiliate of certain funds or investment vehicles managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., AP Neptune Holdings Ltd. ("Purchaser"), completed a sales and financing transaction resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $1.85 billion. This sales and financing transaction comprised (1) the formation of a limited liability company doing business as Energos Infrastructure ("Energos"), (2) the sale for cash of eight vessels, along with these vessels' owning and operating entities to the Purchaser, (3) the contribution of acquired vessel owning entities to Energos by the Purchaser and (4) the Company's contribution of three vessels, along with each vessels' owning and operating entities, to Energos in exchange for equity in Energos (the “Vessel Financing Transaction”). As a result of the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company owns approximately a 20% equity interest in Energos, with the remaining interest owned by the Purchaser. The Company has accounted for the investment in Energos as an equity method investment; see Note 13 for further discussion of this investment. In connection with the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company entered into long-term time charter agreements for periods of up to 20 years in respect of ten of the eleven vessels, the terms of which will commence upon the expiration of each vessel's existing third-party charter. Vessels chartered to the Company at the time of closing were classified as finance leases. These charters prevent the recognition of a sale of these ten vessels to Energos, and as such, proceeds associated with these ten vessels have been treated as failed sale leasebacks. These vessels continue to be recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as Property, plant and equipment, and the Company has recognized the proceeds received from this failed sale leaseback financing as debt ("Vessel Financing Obligation"). Certain vessels included in the Vessel Financing Transaction are currently chartered to third parties under operating leases. The Company has guaranteed payments from the third-party charterers to Energos and will begin to charter the vessels immediately should the third- party charter terminate. As the Company has not recognized the sale of these vessels and proceeds received from the Vessel Financing Transaction are collateralized by the cash flows from these charters, revenue generated from these operating leases continues to be recognized as Vessel charter revenue; estimated costs of operating the vessels is included in Vessel operating expenses over the terms of the third-party charters. Cash flows from these third-party charters are included as part of debt service for the sale leaseback financing debt, and the Company will recognize additional financing costs within Interest expense, net. The Company has not entered into a charter agreement to leaseback the Nanook . The Nanook was previously accounted for as a finance lease; see Note 8 for discussion of derecognition of the finance lease upon the sale of this financial asset. A portion of proceeds received were utilized to extinguish certain debt, including the Vessel Term Loan (defined below) and the termination of lessor VIE arrangements (discussed in Note 6 below). Upon repayment, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14,449; see Notes 6 and 20 below for further detail. 13. Equity method investments As a result of the Mergers, the Company acquired investments in Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe Participações S.A. (“CELSEPAR”) and Hilli LLC, both of which have been recognized as equity method investments. The Company has a 50% ownership interest in both entities. As part of the Vessel Financing Transaction, the Company contributed certain vessels to Energos in exchange for an equity interest, and this equity interest has been accounted for under the equity method. The Company has a 20% ownership interest in Energos.

Obligation under Vessel Financing Transaction In connection with the Vessel Financing Transaction (see discussion in Note 5), the Company entered into long-term time charter agreements for certain vessels. Vessels chartered to the Company at the time of closing were classified as finance leases. Additionally, the Company's charter of other certain vessels will commence only upon the expiration of the vessel's existing third-party charters. These forward starting charters prevented the recognition of a sale of the vessels to Energos. As such, the Company accounted for the Vessel Financing Transaction as a failed sale-leaseback and has recorded a financing obligation for consideration received from the Purchaser. The Company continues to be the owner for accounting purposes of vessels included Vessel Financing Transaction (except the Nanook ), and as such, the Company will recognize revenue and operating expenses related to vessels under charter to third parties. Revenue recognized from these third-party charters form a portion of the debt service for the financing obligation; the effective interest rate on this financing obligation of approximately 16% reflects the cash flows that Energos receives from these third-party charters . The lease terms for the charter agreements were for periods of up to 20 years.

Income Taxes	21. Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 15.1%, compared to (24.8)% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The total tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $9,971 compared to a provision of $3,526 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 1,737.1%, compared to (13.6)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The total tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $126,249, compared to a provision of $7,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The calculation of the effective tax rate for the period after the Mergers includes income from equity method investments. The change to the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 resulted principally from excess tax benefits from stock compensation. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reflected windfall on stock compensation of $19,445. The change to the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted principally from the windfall on stock compensation, the remeasurement of the deferred income tax liability in conjunction with an internal reorganization and tax benefit associated with the OTTI of the investment in CELSEPAR. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reflected excess tax benefits from stock compensation of $24,381. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s equity method investment in CELSEPAR was distributed to a subsidiary domiciled in the United Kingdom; the investment was previously held by a subsidiary domiciled in Brazil, and this reorganization resulted in a discrete tax benefit of $76,460. Additionally, in the second and third quarters of 2022, the Company recognized additional discrete benefits of $122,440, primarily due to OTTI, asset impairment expense and the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This increase in tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was partially offset by an increase in pretax income for certain profitable operations, including GMLP and Hygo. The Company is treating the Vessel Financing Transaction as a sale and contribution to Energos of the vessels and related entities for tax purposes. The Company has recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities on the debt and vessels, respectively, and deferred gain on the appreciated vessels that were contributed to Energos, which is fully offset with a valuation allowance in the United States. As a result of the Vessel Financing Transaction, all income tax payables, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and uncertain tax positions associated with the vessels and entities were derecognized from the Company’s balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company assumed a liability for tax contingencies in the Mergers primarily related to potential tax obligations for payments under certain charter agreements for acquired vessels; this liability was included in Other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits assumed in the Mergers, the Company assumed liabilities related to potential employment tax obligations that are accounted for under ASC 450. Due to the Vessel Financing Transaction, such uncertain tax liabilities are no longer recognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based compensation	24. Share-based compensation Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) During the first quarter of 2021, the Company granted PSUs to certain employees and non-employees that contain a performance condition under the New Fortress Energy Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"). Vesting is determined based on achievement of a performance metric for the year subsequent to the grant, and the number of shares that will vest can range from zero to a multiple of units granted. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined that it was probable that the 2021 Grant will vest at a multiple of one. Compensation cost for the service period since the grant date of $11,978 was recognized in the third quarter of 2022. PSUs Granted Units Granted Range of Vesting Units Vested / Probable of Vesting Unrecognized Compensation Cost (1) Weighted Average Q1 2021 ("2021 Grant") 400,507 0 to 801,014 343,248 15,942 0.25 years (1) Unrecognized compensation cost is based upon the maximum amount of shares that could vest. Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") The Company has granted RSUs to select officers, employees, non-employee members of the board of directors and select non-employees under the 2019 Plan. The fair value of RSUs on the grant date is estimated based on the closing price of the underlying shares on the grant date and other fair value adjustments to account for a post-vesting holding period. These fair value adjustments were estimated based on the Finnerty model. The following table summarizes the RSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022: Restricted Stock Weighted-average Non-vested RSUs as of December 31, 2021 676,338 $ 13.49 Granted 12,196 $ 29.89 Vested (688,534) $ 13.81 Forfeited — $ — Non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2022 — $ — The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for the Company’s RSUs recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Operations and maintenance $ — $ 207 $ 4 $ 641 Selling, general and administrative 1,440 1,355 2,674 4,304 Total share-based compensation expense $ 1,440 $ 1,562 $ 2,678 $ 4,945 As of September 30, 2022, all RSUs subject to service conditions have vested, and the Company has no unrecognized compensation cost. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, no cumulative compensation expense recognized for forfeited RSU awards was reversed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, cumulative compensation expense recognized for forfeited RSU awards of $116 and $173, respectively, was reversed. The Company recognizes the income tax benefits resulting from vesting of RSUs in the period of vesting, to the extent the compensation expense has been recognized.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	26. Segments As of September 30, 2022, the Company operates in two reportable segments: Terminals and Infrastructure and Ships: • Terminals and Infrastructure includes the Company’s vertically integrated gas to power solutions, spanning the entire production and delivery chain from natural gas procurement and liquefaction to logistics, shipping, facilities and conversion or development of natural gas-fired power generation. Vessels that are utilized in the Company’s terminal or logistics operations are included in this segment. • Ships includes FSRUs and LNG carriers that are leased to customers under long-term or spot arrangements. FSRUs are stationed offshore for customer’s operations to regasify LNG; six of the Company's FSRUs are included in this segment. LNG carriers are vessels that transport LNG and are compatible with many LNG loading and receiving terminals globally. Five of the Company's LNG carriers are included in this segment. The Company’s investments in Hilli LLC and Energos are also included in the Ships segment. The CODM uses Segment Operating Margin to evaluate the performance of the segments and allocate resources. Segment Operating Margin is defined as the segment’s revenue less cost of sales less operations and maintenance less vessel operating expenses, excluding unrealized gains or losses to financial instruments recognized at fair value. Terminals and Infrastructure Segment Operating Margin includes our effective share of revenue, expenses and segment operating margin attributable to our 50% ownership of CELSEPAR. Ships Segment Operating Margin includes our effective share of revenue, expenses and operating margin attributable to our ownership of 50% of the common units of Hilli LLC. Management considers Segment Operating Margin to be the appropriate metric to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s segments on a consistent basis across reporting periods as it eliminates the effect of items which management does not believe are indicative of each segment’s operating performance.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Annual Report"). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, impacting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net earnings and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Adoption of New and Revised Standards	New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the year beginning January 1, 2022: The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that such pronouncements are either not applicable to the Company or no material impact is expected in the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption. (b) New and amended standards adopted by the Company: In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments and amends certain guidance in ASC 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption of all amendments in the same period permitted. The adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
