All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activity, events, or developments with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, or economic performance that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, or that address plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “initial,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “proposed,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things:
our businesses and prospects and our overall strategy;

Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results and performance to differ materially from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
the uncertain nature of demand for and price of natural gas and LNG;
risks related to shortages of LNG vessels worldwide;
technological innovation which may render our anticipated competitive advantage obsolete;
risks related to a terrorist or military incident involving an LNG carrier;
changes in legislation and regulations relating to the LNG industry, including environmental laws and regulations that impose significant compliance costs and liabilities;
governmental interventions in the LNG industry, including increases in barriers to international trade;
uncertainties regarding our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and attract sufficient capital resources to implement our projects;
our limited operating history;
our ability to attract and retain key personnel;
risks related to doing business in, and having counterparties in, foreign countries;
our reliance on the skill and expertise of third-party service providers;
the ability of our vendors to meet their contractual obligations;
risks and uncertainties inherent in management estimates of future operating results and cash flows;
the potential discontinuation of LIBOR;
changes in competitive factors, including the development or expansion of LNG, pipeline and other projects that are competitive with ours;



development risks, operational hazards and regulatory approvals;
our ability to enter into and consummate planned financing and other transactions;
risks related to pandemics or disease outbreaks;
risks of potential impairment charges and reductions in our reserves; and

NOTE 1 — GENERAL
    The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Tellurian” and the “Company” as used in this report refer collectively to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity associated with Tellurian Inc.
Nature of Operations
    We plan to develop, own and operate a global natural gas business and to deliver natural gas to customers worldwide. Tellurian is developing a portfolio of natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets, including an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and related pipelines (the “Pipeline Network”). The Driftwood terminal, the Pipeline Network and required natural gas assets are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood Project”.
Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period information to the current presentation. The reclassifications did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Liquidity
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have generated losses and negative cash flows from operations, and have an accumulated deficit. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to satisfy our obligations and fund working capital needs.
We are planning to generate proceeds from our at-the-market program and have determined that it is probable that such proceeds will satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for at least twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. We also continue to evaluate generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions to fund our obligations and working capital needs.
Use of Estimates 
    To conform with GAAP, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Although these estimates and assumptions are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results may differ.
NOTE 2 — PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

NOTE 4 — DEFERRED ENGINEERING COSTS
    Deferred engineering costs of approximately $110.0 million represent detailed engineering services related to the planned construction of the Driftwood terminal as of June 30, 2021. The balance in this account will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching an affirmative FID by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Total other non-current assets$32,489 $32,897 
Land Lease and Purchase Options
We hold lease and purchase option agreements (the “Options”) for certain tracts of land and associated river frontage. Upon exercise of the Options, the leases are subject to maximum terms of 50 years (inclusive of various renewals, at the option of the Company). Costs of the Options will be amortized over the life of the lease once obtained, or capitalized into the cost of land if purchased.
Permitting Costs
    Permitting costs primarily represent the purchase of wetland credits in connection with our permit application to the USACE in 2017 and 2018. These wetland credits will be applied to our permit in accordance with the Clean Water Act and the Rivers and Harbors Act, which may require us to mitigate the potential impact to Louisiana wetlands that might be caused by the construction of the Driftwood Project. In May 2019, we received the USACE permit. The permitting costs will be transferred to construction in progress upon reaching an affirmative FID by the Company’s Board of Directors.
NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As part of entering into the 2018 Term Loan, which was repaid in full in April 2021 (see Note 9, Borrowings, for further information), we were required to enter into and maintain certain hedging transactions. As a result, we used derivative financial instruments, namely OTC commodity swap instruments (“commodity swaps”), to maintain compliance with that covenant. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Commodity swap agreements involve payments to or receipts from counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity and include basis swaps to protect earnings from undue exposure to the risk of geographic disparities in commodity prices, as was required by a negative covenant in the 2018 Term Loan. The fair value of our commodity swaps was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and was based on standard industry income approach

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
models that use significant observable inputs, including but not limited to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas forward curves and basis forward curves, all of which were validated against external sources at least monthly.
We recognized all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a net basis as they were with a single counterparty and subject to a master netting arrangement. In April 2021, we net settled our derivative instruments when we voluntarily repaid the 2018 Term Loan in full. See Note 9, Borrowings, for further information.
We did not apply hedge accounting for our commodity swaps; therefore, all changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments were recognized within Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a realized loss of approximately $0.5 million and approximately $1.2 million, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivative contracts which result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be used or sold by the Company in the normal course of business are designated as normal purchases and sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. OTC arrangements require settlement in cash. Settlements of commodity derivative instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In conjunction with the dismissal of prior litigation, we agreed to reimburse the Vice Chairman of our Board of Directors, Martin Houston, for reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses he incurred during the litigation. As of June 30, 2021, all amounts owed to Mr. Houston were fully settled.

Total borrowings$119,217 $(8,123)$111,094 
(a) Includes paid-in-kind interest on the 2019 Term Loan of $3.3 million.
Extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan
On March 12, 2021 (the “Extinguishment Date”), we finalized a voluntary repayment of the remaining outstanding principal balance of the 2019 Term Loan. A total of approximately $43.7 million was repaid to the lender throughout the first quarter of 2021 to satisfy the outstanding borrowing obligation. The extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan resulted in an approximately $2.1 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was recognized within (Loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As a result of repaying the outstanding balance prior to its contractual maturity, an approximately $4.4 million in unamortized DFC and discount were included in the computation of the gain on the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan.
The holder of the 2019 Term Loan held approximately 3.5 million unvested warrants that had a fair value of approximately $6.3 million as of the Extinguishment Date. Due to the extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan, all the unvested warrants were contractually terminated (the “Terminated Warrants”), and their respective fair value was included in the computation of the gain on extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan.
The fair value of the Terminated Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Full Repayment of the 2020 Unsecured Note
On March 31, 2021, we made the final contractually required amortization payment of $4.0 million under the terms of the 2020 Unsecured Note, thereby satisfying all financial obligations under the 2020 Unsecured Note.
Extinguishment of the 2018 Term Loan
On February 18, 2021, we voluntarily repaid approximately $43.0 million of the 2018 Term Loan outstanding principal balance. Then on April 23, 2021, we voluntarily repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of $17.0 million.
These voluntary repayments resulted in losses of approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which were recognized within (Loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Covenant Compliance
We maintained compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Term Loan through our final repayment on April 23, 2021.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Port Lease
On June 29, 2021, we exercised our lease option and entered into a non-cancellable lease for a tract of land that will be utilized for the construction of the Driftwood terminal. This non-cancellable lease became effective on July 1, 2021, and has an initial contractual term of 20 years. We have the ability, at our sole discretion, to exercise options and extend the lease for an additional 30 years.
As of June 30, 2021, our annual commitments in connection with the non-cancellable portion of this lease are as follows (in thousands):
2021$1,117 
20221,861 
20231,861 
20241,861 
20251,861 
Thereafter35,251 
Total commitment$43,812 
LNG Purchases
On April 23, 2019, we entered into a master LNG SPA and related confirmation notices with an unrelated third-party LNG merchant. Pursuant to this SPA, we committed to purchase one cargo of LNG per quarter through October 2022. The volume of each cargo is expected to range from 3.3 to 3.6 million MMBtu, and each cargo will be purchased under DES terms. The price of each cargo will be based on the JKM price in effect at the time of each purchase.
NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At-the-Market Program
    We maintain an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock from time to time on Nasdaq. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued 63.8 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market program for net proceeds of approximately $182.4 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had remaining availability under the at-the-market program to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to approximately $345.8 million. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
2019 Term Loan
During the first quarter of 2021, the lender of the 2019 Term Loan purchased approximately 6.0 million shares of our common stock for total proceeds of approximately $8.2 million. As discussed in Note 9, Borrowings, the 2019 Term Loan has been repaid in full and the lender no longer holds any warrants.
2020 Unsecured Note
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2020 Unsecured Note, we issued a warrant providing the lender with the right to purchase up to 20.0 million shares of our common stock at $1.542 per share (the “2020 Warrant”). The 2020 Warrant vested immediately and will expire in October 2025. The 2020 Warrant has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
Preferred Stock
    In March 2018, we entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with BDC Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC (“Bechtel Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which we sold to Bechtel Holdings approximately 6.1 million shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
    The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have dividend rights but do have a liquidation preference over holders of our common stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time after “Substantial Completion” of “Project 1,” each as defined in and pursuant to the LSTK EPC Agreement for the Driftwood LNG Phase 1 Liquefaction Facility, dated as of November 10, 2017, or at any time after March 21, 2028, we have the right to cause all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of our common stock on

a one-for-one basis. The Preferred Stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
NOTE 12 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have granted restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “Restricted Stock”), as well as unrestricted stock and stock options, to employees, directors and outside consultants (collectively, the “grantees”) under the Tellurian Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2016 Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Tellurian Investments Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Tellurian common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan is 40 million shares of common stock, and no further awards can be granted under the Legacy Plan.
    Upon the vesting of restricted stock, shares of common stock will be released to the grantee. Upon the vesting of restricted stock units, the units will be converted into either cash, stock, or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2021, there was no Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in cash.    
As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately 30.0 million shares of performance-based Restricted Stock outstanding, of which approximately 19.3 million shares will vest entirely at FID, as defined in the award agreements, and approximately 9.7 million shares will vest in one-third increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID. The remaining shares of Restricted Stock, totaling approximately 1.0 million shares, will vest based on other criteria. As of June 30, 2021, no expense had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted Stock.
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the recognized share-based compensation expenses related to all share-based awards totaled approximately $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $201.3. Further, the approximately 30.0 million shares of Restricted Stock, as well as approximately 11.2 million stock options outstanding, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including them in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES
    Due to our cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
    We experienced ownership changes as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in 2017, and an analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of our NOLs was performed at that time. It was determined that IRC Section 382 will not limit the use of our NOLs over the carryover period. We will continue to monitor trading activity in our shares that may cause an additional ownership change, which may ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.
NOTE 14 — LEASES
Finance Leases
    Our land leases are classified as financing leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 40 years, as well as to terminate the lease within five years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, and that our termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, included those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term for our financing leases was approximately fifty years. As none of our finance leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at June 30, 2021, was approximately 13%.
    As of June 30, 2021, our financing leases had a corresponding right of use asset of approximately $19.8 million, which is recognized within Property, plant and equipment, net, and a total lease liability of approximately $13.5 million, which is recognized in Other non-current liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our finance lease costs, which are associated with the interest on our lease liabilities, were approximately $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid approximately $0.8 million in required finance lease payments which are primarily presented within the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid approximately $1.8 million in required finance lease payments which are presented within the financing section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Operating Leases
    Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right of use assets and lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2021, our weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was approximately five years. As none of our operating leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate, which, on a weighted-average basis at June 30, 2021, was approximately 8%.
    As of June 30, 2021, our operating leases had a corresponding right of use asset of approximately $11.0 million, which is recognized within Other non-current assets, and a total lease liability of approximately $12.7 million which is recognized within Accrued and other liabilities (approximately $2.0 million) and Other non-current liabilities (approximately $10.7 million). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our operating lease costs were $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we paid approximately $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in required operating lease payments, which are presented within the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of July 30, 2021, we have remaining capacity under our at-the-market program to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $334.6 million.
Trade Finance Credit Line
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we entered into an uncommitted trade finance credit line for up to $30.0 million that is intended to be used for advances, guarantees or the issuances of letters of credit, or standby letters of credit, to finance the purchase and sale of LNG cargoes for ultimate resale in the normal course of business. This facility has not yet been utilized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
    The following discussion and analysis presents management’s view of our business, financial condition and overall performance and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. This information is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our past development activities, current financial condition and outlook for the future organized as follows:
Our Business
Overview of Significant Events
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Development Activities

Recent Accounting Standards
Our Business
    Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) intends to create value for shareholders by building a low-cost, global natural gas business, profitably delivering natural gas to customers worldwide (the “Business”). We are developing a portfolio of natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and related pipelines (the “Pipeline Network”). We refer to the Driftwood terminal, the Pipeline Network and required natural gas assets collectively as the “Driftwood Project.” Our existing natural gas assets consist of 9,704 net acres and interests in 72 producing wells located in the Haynesville Shale trend of northern Louisiana. Our Business may be developed in phases.
As part of our execution strategy, we will consider partnering with third parties across the natural gas value chain. We are also pursuing activities such as direct sales of LNG to global counterparties, the acquisition of additional upstream acreage, the drilling of new wells on our existing or newly acquired upstream acreage and trading LNG. As discussed in “Overview of Significant Events – LNG Sale and Purchase Agreements” below, we have recently entered into LNG SPAs with three purchasers, completing the planned sales for plants one and two of the Driftwood Project (“Phase 1”). We are currently focused on financing the construction of Phase 1.
We continue to evaluate, and discuss with potential partners, the scope and other aspects of our Business in light of the evolving economic environment, needs of potential partners and other factors. How we execute our Business will be based on a variety of factors, including the results of our continuing analysis, changing business conditions and market feedback.
Overview of Significant Events
Debt Reductions
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repaid a total of approximately $119.7 million in outstanding principal balance of our borrowing obligations and ended the quarter with zero debt obligations.
LNG Sale and Purchase Agreements
Driftwood LNG LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Driftwood LNG”), has entered into LNG SPAs with three purchasers for the total sale of 9.0 Mtpa from the Driftwood terminal. The LNG SPAs were entered into as follows:
On May 27, 2021, Driftwood LNG entered into an LNG SPA with Gunvor Singapore Pte Ltd (“Gunvor”) for the purchase of 3.0 Mtpa;
On June 2, 2021, Driftwood LNG entered into an LNG SPA with Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”) for the purchase of 3.0 Mtpa; and
On July 29, 2021, Driftwood LNG entered into two LNG SPAs with Shell NA LNG LLC (“Shell”) for the purchase of 3.0 Mtpa.
The price for LNG sold under the LNG SPAs with Gunvor and Vitol will be a blended average based on the JKM index price and the TTF futures contract price, in each case minus a transportation netback. The price for LNG sold under each LNG SPA with Shell will be based on the JKM index price or the TTF futures contract price, in each case minus a transportation netback. Each LNG SPA has a ten-year term from the date of first commercial delivery from the Driftwood terminal.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We are currently funding our operations, development activities and general working capital needs through our cash on hand. Our current capital resources consist of approximately $111.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021. We currently maintain an at-the-market equity offering program under which, as of the date of this filing, we have remaining availability to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $334.6 million. Since January 1, 2021, and through July 30, 2021, we have sold approximately 66.4 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market program for net proceeds of approximately $193.3 million.
As of June 30, 2021, we had contractual obligations associated with our finance and operating leases totaling $150.0 million, of which $5.9 million is scheduled to be paid within the next twelve months.
We are planning to generate proceeds from our at-the-market program and have determined that it is probable that such proceeds will satisfy our obligations and fund our working capital needs for at least twelve months following the issuance of the financial statements. We also continue to evaluate generating additional proceeds from various other potential financing transactions, such as issuances of equity, equity-linked and debt securities, or similar transactions to fund our obligations and working capital needs.
Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of the period$111,858 $91,781 
Net working capital$61,398 $(3,762)
    Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by approximately $16.6 million compared to the same period in 2020 due to an overall decrease in disbursements as a result of the successful reorganization in the first quarter of 2020.
    Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by approximately $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is predominantly driven by increased natural gas development activities.
    Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by approximately $3.5 million compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease primarily relates to the following:
Decrease of approximately $47.6 million in net borrowings proceeds due to the absence of these activities during the current period.
Increase of approximately $109.1 million in principal repayments of our borrowings compared to the prior period.
Increase of approximately $154.5 million in net proceeds from equity issuances and proceeds from warrant exercises compared to the prior period.

Capital Development Activities
    The activities we have proposed will require significant amounts of capital and are subject to risks and delays in completion. We have received all major regulatory approvals for the Driftwood Project and, as a result, our business success will depend to a significant extent upon our ability to obtain the funding necessary to construct assets on a commercially viable basis and to finance the costs of staffing, operating and expanding our company during that process.
We currently estimate the total cost of the Driftwood Project to be approximately $24.7 billion, with Phase 1 comprising approximately $10.6 billion, including owners’ costs, transaction costs and contingencies but excluding interest costs incurred during construction of the Driftwood terminal and other financing costs. We have entered into four LSTK EPC agreements currently totaling $15.5 billion, or $561 per tonne, with Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc. (“Bechtel”) for construction of the Driftwood terminal. The proposed Driftwood terminal will have a liquefaction capacity of up to approximately 27.6 Mtpa and will be situated on approximately 1,000 acres in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The proposed Driftwood terminal will include up to 20 liquefaction Trains, three full containment LNG storage tanks and three marine berths.
In addition, part of our strategy involves acquiring additional natural gas properties, including properties in the Haynesville shale trend. We intend to pursue potential acquisitions of such assets, or public or private companies that own such assets, in 2021. We would expect to use stock, cash on hand, or cash raised in financing transactions to complete an acquisition of this type.
We anticipate funding our more immediate liquidity requirements relative to the detailed engineering work and other developmental costs, natural gas development costs, and general and administrative costs through the use of cash on hand, proceeds from operations, and proceeds from completed and future issuances of securities by us. Consistent with our overall financing strategy, the Company has considered, and in some cases discussed with investors, various potential financing transactions, including issuances of debt, equity and equity-linked securities or similar transactions, to support its short- and medium-term capital requirements. The Company will continue to evaluate its cash needs and business outlook, and it may execute one or more transactions of this type in the future.
We currently expect that our long-term capital requirements will be financed by proceeds from future debt, equity and/or equity-linked transactions.

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Decrease of approximately $10.4 million in interest expense due to the lack of interest charges associated with our borrowing obligations, which have been fully repaid. See Note 9, Borrowings, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
The increases of approximately $19.0 million in total revenues and $23.0 million in cost of sales were primarily related to the purchase and sale of an LNG cargo during the current period.
Our consolidated net loss was approximately $57.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of approximately $169.6 million during the same period in 2020. The decrease in net loss of approximately $112.0 million is primarily a result of the following:
Decreases of approximately $81.1 million in impairment charges, approximately $6.4 million in severance and reorganization charges and approximately $7.4 million in related party charges due to the absence of such activities during the current period.
Decrease of approximately $10.9 million in interest expense due to the lack of interest charges associated with our borrowing obligations, which have been fully repaid. See Note 9, Borrowings, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Decrease of approximately $5.8 million in DD&A due to the lower net book value utilized in the calculation as a result of the impairment charge that occurred during the prior period.
The increases of approximately $19.5 million in total revenues and $22.5 million in cost of sales were primarily related to the purchase and sale of an LNG cargo during the current period.
