A 20-year offtake contract with QatarEnergy for up to 3 Mtpa from Louisiana LNG gives the under-construction project a second anchor customer alongside Uniper, converting a material slice of future production into contracted, revenue-certain volumes. For a project targeting first LNG in 2029, customer commitments are what de-risk the capital already committed and support financing and future train decisions. No contract value or price formula is disclosed, so the near-term earnings impact is unquantified — the value is in de-risking the 16.5 Mtpa foundation project rather than in immediate cash flow.
