This is a little old but I didn't recall seeing it before and thought it interesting. Cherniere is tolling its capacity at $3/mcf plus 15% of Henry Hub pricing. Add to that inflation and the cost of transport to and from the LNG plant and you have the cost of American LNG.

A new long-term LNG contract announced yesterday by Cheniere Energy (LNG) shows no departure from what has become almost a standard for U.S. LNG export projects: the contract has a tolling format and is based on a fixed capacity charge (in this case, $3/MMBtu with some escalations for inflation) plus a markup to Henry Hub price on the volumes shipped (15%).
