Key risks (from latest filing)
["Disruption to third-party natural gas pipeline supply could materially impair liquefaction operations and ability to fulfill LNG contracts","Catastrophic weather events or disasters could interrupt operations, delay construction projects, damage facilities, or increase insurance costs materially","Significant volatility in GAAP results from changes in fair values of commodity derivatives indexed to international LNG prices, particularly IPM agreements, which may also create adverse liquidity impacts from margin requirements"]
