Depreciation expense was $112 million and $91 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $331 million and $250 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We realized offsets to LNG terminal costs of $82 million and $252 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
