Depreciation expense was $108 million and $70 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $131 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 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 respective Train of the SPL Project, during the testing phase for its construction. We did not realize any offsets to LNG terminal costs in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
