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:

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;

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;

Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
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
Tellurian is developing and plans to own and operate a portfolio of
natural gas, LNG marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes
an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”), an associated
pipeline (the “Driftwood pipeline”), other related pipelines, and
upstream natural gas assets. The Driftwood terminal and the
Driftwood pipeline are collectively referred to as the “Driftwood
Project.”
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim
financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and
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, 2021. The
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair
presentation of the results for the periods presented. All
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise
disclosed.
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.
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.
Liquidity
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been 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 that is sufficient to
cover our future operating costs and obligations as they become due
during the twelve months following the issuance of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has sufficient cash on hand and available liquidity to
satisfy its obligations and fund its working capital needs for at
least twelve months following the date of issuance of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has the ability to
generate additional proceeds from various other potential financing
transactions. We are currently focused on the financing and
construction of the Driftwood terminal and continuing to expand our
upstream activities.

Driftwood Terminal Construction in Progress
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company initiated
certain owner construction activities necessary to proceed under
our LSTK EPC agreement with Bechtel Energy Inc., formerly known as
Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc. (“Bechtel”), for Phase 1 of
the Driftwood terminal dated as of November 10, 2017 (the “Phase 1
EPC Agreement”). On March 24, 2022, the Company issued a limited
notice to proceed to Bechtel under the Phase 1 EPC Agreement and
commenced construction of Phase 1 of the Driftwood terminal on
April 4, 2022. As the Company commenced construction activities,
Deferred engineering costs and Permitting Costs of approximately
$110.0 million and $13.4 million, respectively, were transferred to
construction in progress as of March 31, 2022. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2022, we capitalized approximately
$115.4 million of directly identifiable project costs as
construction in progress.
Asset Acquisition
On August 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of
certain natural gas assets in the Haynesville Shale basin. The
purchase price of $125.0 million was subject to adjustments of
approximately $9.9 million, for an adjusted purchase price at
closing of approximately $134.9 million. The sellers may
receive an additional cash payment of $7.5 million if the
average NYMEX Henry Hub Gas Price for the contract delivery months
beginning with August 2022 through March 2023 exceeds a specific
threshold per MmBtu (the “Contingent Consideration”). See Note
6,
Financial Instruments,
for further information.
NOTE 4 — DEFERRED ENGINEERING COSTS
Deferred engineering costs related to the planned construction of
the Driftwood terminal were transferred to construction in progress
upon issuing the limited notice to proceed to Bechtel in March
2022. See Note 3,
Property, Plant and Equipment,
for further information.

Land Lease and Purchase Options
During the first quarter of 2022, we exercised the final land
purchase options related to the Driftwood terminal. Land purchase
options held by the Company as of September 30, 2022 are
related to the Driftwood pipeline and other related
pipelines.
Permitting Costs
Permitting costs primarily represented the purchase of wetland
credits in connection with our permit application to the USACE in
2017 and 2018. These wetland credits were transferred to
construction in progress upon issuing the limited notice to proceed
to Bechtel in March 2022. See Note 3,
Property, Plant and Equipment,
for further information. These wetland credits will be applied to
our permit in accordance with the Clean Water Act and the Rivers
and Harbors Act, which require us to mitigate the potential impact
to Louisiana wetlands that might be caused by the construction of
the Driftwood Project.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash as of September 30, 2022 and December 31,
2021, represents the cash collateralization of letters of credit
associated with finance leases.
Investments in unconsolidated entities
On February 24, 2022, the Company purchased 1.5 million
ordinary shares of an unaffiliated entity that provides renewable
energy services for a total cost of approximately
$6.1 million. This investment does not provide the Company
with a controlling financial interest in or significant influence
over the operating or financial decisions of the unaffiliated
entity. The Company’s investment was recorded at cost.
The Company issued a $5.0 million promissory note due June 14,
2024 (the “Promissory Note”) to an unaffiliated entity (“Borrower”)
engaged in the development of infrastructure projects in the energy
industry. The Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 6.00%,
which will be capitalized into the outstanding principal balance
annually.
NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Natural Gas Financial Instruments
The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is
to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability from commodity price
risk due to fluctuations in commodity prices. The Company uses
natural gas financial futures and option contracts to economically
hedge the commodity price risks associated with a portion of our
expected natural gas production. The Company’s open positions as of
September 30, 2022, had notional volumes of approximately 14.7
Bcf, with maturities extending through October 2023.
LNG Financial Instruments
During the three
months ended
December 31, 2021, we entered into LNG financial futures
contracts to reduce our exposure to commodity price fluctuations,
and to achieve more predictable cash flows relative to two LNG
cargos that we were committed to purchase from and sell to
unrelated third-party LNG merchants in the normal course of
business in January and April 2022. As of September 30, 2022,
there were no open LNG financial instrument positions.

Contingent Consideration
The purchase price of certain natural gas assets acquired in the
Haynesville Shale basin includes Contingent Consideration payable
to the sellers if natural gas commodity prices exceed a specific
threshold, refer to Note 3,
Property, Plant and Equipment,
for further information. The Contingent Consideration was
determined to be an embedded derivative that is recorded at fair
value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of the date
of the acquisition, the fair value of the Contingent Consideration
was approximately $3.9 million, which was recorded as part of
the basis in proved natural gas properties with a corresponding
embedded derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of the
Contingent Consideration are recognized in the period they occur
and included within Other expense, net on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s natural gas and LNG financial instruments are valued
using quoted prices in active exchange markets as of the balance
sheet date and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value
hierarchy.
The fair value of the Contingent Consideration was determined using
Monte Carlo simulations including inputs such as quoted future
natural gas price curves, natural gas price volatility, and
discount rates. These inputs are substantially observable in active
markets throughout the full term of the Contingent Consideration
arrangement and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the
valuation hierarchy.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2025
On June 3, 2022, we issued and sold $500.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due May
1, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes” or the “Notes”). Net proceeds from
the Convertible Notes were approximately $488.7 million after
deducting fees and expenses. The Convertible Notes have quarterly
interest payments due on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November
1 of each year and on the maturity date. Debt issuance costs of
approximately $11.5 million were capitalized and are being
amortized over the full term of the Notes using the effective
interest rate method.
The holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to convert the
Notes into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate
of 174.703 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent
to a conversion price of approximately $5.724 per share of common
stock) (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. Holders of the Convertible Notes may force the
Company to redeem the Notes for cash upon (i) a fundamental change
or (ii) an event of default.
The Company will force the holders of the Convertible Notes to
convert all of the Notes if the trading price of our common stock
closes above 200% of the Conversion Price for 20 consecutive
trading days and certain other conditions are satisfied. The
Company may provide written notice to each holder of the Notes
calling all of such holder’s Notes for a cash purchase price equal
to 120% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and
unpaid interest (the “Optional Redemption”), and each holder will
have the right to accept or reject such Optional
Redemption.
On each of May 1, 2023 and May 1, 2024, the holders of the
Convertible Notes may redeem up to $166.6 million of the
initial principal amount of the Notes at par, plus accrued and
unpaid interest (the “Redemption Amount”). The Company classified
the potential Redemption Amount in respect of May 1, 2023 as a
current borrowing on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 2022.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Our borrowing obligations under the Convertible Notes are
collateralized by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity
interests in Tellurian Production Holdings, LLC (“Tellurian
Production Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tellurian Inc.
Tellurian Production Holdings owns all of the Company’s upstream
natural gas assets described in Note 3,
Property, Plant and Equipment.
Upon the Company’s compliance with its obligations in respect of an
Optional Redemption (regardless of whether holders accept or reject
the redemption), the lien on the equity interests in Tellurian
Production Holdings will be automatically released. The Notes
contain a minimum cash balance requirement of $100.0 million
and non-financial covenants. As of September 30, 2022, we
remained in compliance with the minimum cash balance requirement
and all other covenants under the Notes.
As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the
Convertible Notes was approximately $453.3 million. The Level
3 fair value was estimated based on inputs that are observable in
the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with,
observable market data, including our stock price and inputs that
are not observable in the market.
Senior Notes due 2028
On November 10, 2021, we sold in a registered public offering
$50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes
due November 30, 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). Net proceeds from the
Senior Notes were approximately $47.5 million after deducting
fees. The underwriter was granted an option to purchase up to an
additional $7.5 million of the Senior Notes within 30 days. On
December 7, 2021, the underwriter exercised the option and
purchased an additional $6.5 million of the Senior Notes
resulting in net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million after
deducting fees. The Senior Notes have quarterly interest payments
due on January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year
and on the maturity date. As of September 30, 2022, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture
governing the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are traded on the NYSE
American under the symbol “TELZ,” and are classified as Level 1
within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2022, the
closing market price was $18.28 per Senior Note.
At-the-Market Debt Offering Program
On December 17, 2021, we entered into an at-the-market debt
offering program under which the Company may offer and sell from
time to time on the NYSE American up to an aggregate principal
amount of $200.0 million of additional Senior Notes. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold
approximately $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of
additional Senior Notes for total proceeds of approximately $1.1
million after fees and commissions under our at-the-market debt
offering program. The Company has not sold any Senior Notes under
the at-the-market debt offering program since January 2022 and is
restricted from doing so under an agreement entered into in
connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes.
Extinguishment of the 2019 Term Loan
On May 23, 2019, Driftwood Holdings LP, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, entered into a senior secured term loan agreement
(the “2019 Term Loan”) to borrow an aggregate principal amount of
$60.0 million. On March 12, 2021, 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 during 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,
which was recognized within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net, on
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
2018 Term Loan
On September 28, 2018, Tellurian Production Holdings entered into a
three-year senior secured term loan credit agreement (the “2018
Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million.
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
$0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
which were recognized within Gain on extinguishment of debt, net,
on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
Trade Finance Credit Line
On July 19, 2021, we entered into an uncommitted trade finance
credit line for up to $30.0 million that is intended to
finance the purchase of LNG cargos for ultimate resale in the
normal course of business. On December 7, 2021, the uncommitted
trade finance credit line was amended and increased to
$150.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, no amounts were
drawn under this credit line.

Related Party Contractor Service Fees and Expenses
The Company entered into a one-year independent contractor
agreement, effective January 1, 2022, with Mr. Martin Houston, who
serves as Vice Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of
Directors. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this agreement,
the Company pays Mr. Houston a monthly fee of $50.0 thousand
plus approved expenses.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company
paid Mr. Houston $150.0 thousand and $475.0 thousand,
respectively, for contractor service fees and expenses. As of
September 30, 2022, there were no balances due to Mr.
Houston.
NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At-the-Market Equity Offering Programs
We maintain multiple at-the-market equity offering programs
pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock from time
to time on the NYSE American. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, we issued 67.7 million shares of our
common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs for
net proceeds of approximately $299.7 million. As of
September 30, 2022, we had remaining availability under such
at-the-market programs to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of
up to approximately $323.7 million. The Company has not sold any
common stock under the at-the-market equity offering programs since
April 2022.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
2019 Term Loan
During the first quarter of 2021, the lender of the 2019 Term Loan
exercised warrants to purchase approximately 6.0 million
shares of our common stock for total proceeds of approximately
$8.2 million. As discussed in Note 8,
Borrowings,
the 2019 Term Loan has been repaid in full and the lender no longer
holds any warrants.
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, 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 Phase 1
EPC Agreement, 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 11 — 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 September 30, 2022, there was no
Restricted Stock that would be required to be settled in
cash.
As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately
28.0 million shares of primarily performance-based Restricted
Stock outstanding, of which approximately 15.9 million shares
will vest entirely at FID, as defined in the award agreements, and
approximately 11.2 million shares will vest in one-third
increments at FID and the first and second anniversaries of FID.
The remaining shares of primarily performance-based Restricted
Stock, totaling approximately 0.9 million shares, will vest
based on other criteria. As of September 30, 2022, no expense
had been recognized in connection with performance-based Restricted
Stock.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the
recognized share-based compensation expenses related to all
share-based awards totaled approximately $1.0 million and
$2.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022,
unrecognized compensation expenses, based on the grant date fair
value, for all share-based awards totaled approximately $184.3
million. Further, approximately 27.7 million shares of
primarily performance-based Restricted Stock, as well
as
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
approximately 11.1 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 12 — INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
On November 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the
adoption of the Tellurian Incentive Compensation Program (the
“Incentive Compensation Program” or “ICP”). The ICP allows the
Company to award short-term and long-term performance and
service-based incentive compensation to full-time employees of the
Company. ICP awards may be earned with respect to each calendar
year and are determined based on guidelines established by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as administrator
of the ICP.
Long-term incentive awards
Long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards under the ICP were granted in
January 2022 in the form of “tracking units,” at the discretion of
the Company’s Board of Directors (the “2021 LTI Award”). Each such
tracking unit has a value equal to one share of Tellurian common
stock and entitles the grantee to receive, upon vesting, a cash
payment equal to the closing price of our common stock on the
trading day prior to the vesting date. These tracking units will
vest in three equal tranches at grant date, and the first and
second anniversaries of the grant date. Non-vested tracking unit
awards as of September 30, 2022, and awards granted during the
period were as follows:

We recognize compensation expense for awards with graded vesting
schedules over the requisite service periods for each separately
vesting portion of the award as if each award was in substance
multiple awards. Compensation expense for the first tranche of the
2021 LTI Award that vested at the grant date was recognized over
the performance period when it was probable that the performance
condition was achieved. Compensation expense for the second and
third tranches of the 2021 LTI Award is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Compensation
expense for unvested tracking units is subsequently adjusted each
reporting period to reflect the estimated payout levels based on
changes in the Company’s stock price and actual forfeitures. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized
approximately $2.8 million and $17.1 million,
respectively, in compensation expense for the second and third
tranches of the 2021 LTI Award.
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
September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Accordingly, we have
not recorded a provision for federal, state or foreign income taxes
during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022.
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
Our land leases are classified as finance 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. Our office space
leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more
options to extend the lease term up to 10 years, at our sole
discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that
those
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right
of use assets and lease liabilities. As none of our leases provide
an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount
rate.

right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our Consolidated

NOTE 16 — DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED
INFORMATION
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company commenced
construction of the Driftwood terminal under the Phase 1 EPC
Agreement with Bechtel while continuing to increase its natural gas
presence in the Haynesville Shale basin in northern Louisiana and
expanding its natural gas marketing activities. The Company’s Chief
Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) determined to place additional
emphasis and visibility on operating cash flows generated by our
upstream and natural gas marketing business activities.
Consequently, we identified the Upstream, Midstream and Marketing
& Trading components as the Company’s operating
segments.
These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the
Company because (1) they are engaged in business activities from
which revenues are recognized and expenses are incurred, (2) their
operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CODM to
make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and
to assess its performance, and (3) they are segments for which
discrete financial information is available.
Factors used to identify these operating segments are based on the
nature of the business activities that are undertaken by each
component. The Upstream segment is organized and operates to
produce and gather natural gas. The Midstream segment is organized
to develop, construct and operate LNG terminals and pipelines. The
Marketing & Trading segment is organized and operates to
purchase and sell natural gas, market the Driftwood terminal’s LNG
production capacity and trade LNG. These operating segments
represent the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM
does not currently assess segment performance or allocate resources
based on a measure of total assets. Accordingly, a total asset
measure has not been provided for segment disclosure.
The remainder of our business is presented as “Corporate,” and
consists of corporate costs and intersegment
eliminations.

Our Business
Tellurian Inc. (“Tellurian,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”),
a Delaware corporation, is a Houston-based company that is
developing and plans to operate a portfolio of natural gas, LNG
marketing, and infrastructure assets that includes an LNG terminal
facility (the “Driftwood terminal”), an associated pipeline (the
“Driftwood pipeline”), other related pipelines, and upstream
natural gas assets (collectively referred to as the “Business”).
The Driftwood terminal and the Driftwood pipeline are collectively
referred to as the “Driftwood Project.” As of September 30,
2022, our existing natural gas assets consisted of 22,420 net acres
and interests in 131 producing wells located in the Haynesville
Shale basin of northern Louisiana. Our Business may be developed in
phases.
As part of our execution strategy, which includes increasing our
asset base, we will consider various commercial arrangements with
third parties across the natural gas value chain. We are also
pursuing activities such as direct sales of LNG to global
counterparties, trading of LNG, the acquisition of additional
upstream acreage and drilling of new wells on our existing or newly
acquired upstream acreage. We remain focused on the financing and
construction of the Driftwood Project and related pipelines and
continuing to expand our upstream activities.
We continue to evaluate the scope and other aspects of our Business
in light of the evolving economic environment, needs of potential
counterparties 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
Upstream Asset Acquisition
On August 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of
certain natural gas assets in the Haynesville Shale basin. The
purchase price of $125.0 million was subject to adjustments of
approximately $9.9 million, for an adjusted purchase price at
closing of approximately $134.9 million. The sellers may receive an
additional cash payment of $7.5 million if the average NYMEX Henry
Hub Gas Price for the contract delivery months beginning with
August 2022 through March 2023 exceeds a specific threshold per
MmBtu (the “Contingent Consideration”).
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 and cash generated from our
upstream natural gas sales. Our current capital resources consist
of approximately $607.5 million of cash and cash
equivalents as of September 30, 2022. We currently
maintain at-the-market debt and equity offering programs pursuant
to which we sell our Senior Notes and common stock from time to
time. As of the date of this filing, we have remaining availability
to raise aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $323.7
million under the at-the-market equity offering programs and are
contractually prohibited from issuing additional Senior Notes under
the debt at-the-market offering program.
As of September 30, 2022, we had total indebtedness of
approximately $557.7 million, of which approximately
$166.7 million is subject to redemption at the sole discretion
of holders of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes due
2025
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
within the next twelve months. We also had contractual obligations
associated with our finance and operating leases totaling
approximately $217.9 million, of which approximately
$7.8 million is scheduled to be paid within the next twelve
months.
The Company has sufficient cash on hand and available liquidity to
satisfy its obligations and fund its working capital needs for at
least twelve months following the date of issuance of the
consolidated financial statements. The Company has the ability to
generate additional proceeds from various other potential financing
transactions. We are currently focused on the financing and
construction of the Driftwood terminal and continuing to expand our
upstream activities.

Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $26.5 million due to
an overall increase in disbursements in the normal course of
business, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $361.7 million
compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due
to increased natural gas acquisition and development activities of
approximately $236.6 million in the current period, as compared to
approximately $23.4 million in the prior period. This increase is
also due to Driftwood Project construction costs of approximately
$117.8 million and Driftwood Project land purchases and land
improvements of approximately $19.4 million in the current
period.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $596.7 million
compared to the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due
to approximately $489.7 million in net proceeds from borrowing
issuances in the current period, as compared to approximately
$119.7 million in principal repayments of borrowings in the prior
period. The increase is also due to approximately $299.7 million in
net proceeds from equity issuances as compared to approximately
$309.1 million in the prior period.
Borrowings
As of September 30, 2022, we had total indebtedness of
approximately $557.7 million. See Note
8, Borrowings,
for further information.
Capital Development Activities
The activities we have proposed will require significant amounts of
capital and are subject to completion risks and delays. We have
received all regulatory approvals for the construction of Phase 1
of the Driftwood terminal 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 initiated certain owner
construction activities necessary to proceed under the Phase 1 EPC
Agreement with Bechtel and increased our upstream acquisition and
development activities. In March 2022, we issued a limited notice
to proceed to Bechtel under our Phase 1 EPC Agreement and commenced
the construction of Phase 1 of the Driftwood terminal in April
2022.
We currently estimate the total cost of the Driftwood Project as
well as related pipelines to be approximately $25.0 billion,
including owners’ costs, transaction costs and contingencies but
excluding interest costs incurred during construction and other
financing costs. The proposed Driftwood terminal will have a
liquefaction capacity of up to approximately 27.6 Mtpa and will be
situated on approximately 1,200 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.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Our strategy involves acquiring additional natural gas properties,
including properties in the Haynesville shale basin. We intend to
pursue potential acquisitions of such assets, or public or private
companies that own such assets. 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 for
the construction of the Driftwood terminal, natural gas activities,
and general and administrative expenses through the use of cash on
hand, proceeds from operations, and proceeds from completed and
future issuances of securities by us. Investments in the
construction of the Driftwood terminal and natural gas development
are and will continue to be significant, but the size of those
investments will depend on, among other things, commodity prices,
Driftwood Project financing developments and other liquidity
considerations, and our continuing analysis of strategic risks and
opportunities. 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.

The most significant changes affecting our results of operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same
period in 2021, on a consolidated basis and by segment, are the
following:
Upstream
•Increase
of approximately $65.5 million in Natural gas sales as a result of
higher realized natural gas prices and production volumes
attributable to the acquisition of proved natural gas properties
and newly drilled and completed wells during the third quarter of
2022.
•Increase
of approximately $5.7 million in Operating expenses as a result of
higher production volumes attributable to the acquisition of proved
natural gas properties and newly drilled and completed wells during
the third quarter of 2022.
•Increase
of approximately $9.1 million in DD&A primarily attributable to
a higher net book value utilized in the calculation of DD&A due
to the acquisition of proved natural gas assets, increased capital
expenditures and higher production volumes during the current
period.
Marketing & Trading
•Increase
of approximately $12.3 million in Other expense, net primarily
attributable to an approximately $12.5 million of realized loss on
the settlement of natural gas financial instruments, as compared to
the same period in 2021.
Midstream
•Increase
of approximately $4.1 million in Development expenses primarily
attributable to an increase in technical and engineering services
associated with pipeline development activities.
Tellurian Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Consolidated
•Increase
of approximately $27.0 million in General and administrative
expenses primarily attributable to a $9.3 million increase in
compensation expenses, a $3.8 million increase in professional
services, a $9.0 million increase in donations to a university to
advance global energy research and other expenses in the normal
course of business.
Primarily as a result of the foregoing, our consolidated Net loss
was approximately $14.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to a Net loss of approximately $15.9
million during the same period in 2021.
The most significant changes affecting our results of operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same
period in 2021, on a consolidated basis and by segment, are the
following:
Upstream
•Increase
of approximately $138.5 million in Natural gas sales as a result of
higher realized natural gas prices and production volumes
attributable to the acquisition of proved natural gas properties
and newly drilled and completed wells during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022.
•Increase
of approximately $10.9 million in Operating expenses as a result of
higher production volumes attributable to the acquisition of proved
natural gas properties and newly drilled and completed wells during
2022.
•Increase
of approximately $14.0 million in DD&A primarily attributable
to a higher net book value utilized in the calculation of DD&A
due to the acquisition of proved natural gas assets, increased
capital expenditures and higher production volumes during the
current period.
Marketing & Trading
•Increases
of approximately $101.2 million and approximately $108.5 million in
LNG sales and LNG cost of sales, respectively, as a result of
increased realized sales and purchase prices of an LNG cargo sold
during the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the realized price
of an LNG cargo sold during the second quarter of
2021.
•Increase
of approximately $34.0 million in Other expense, net primarily
attributable to an approximately $13.6 million unrealized loss on
financial instruments due to changes in the fair value of the
Company’s derivative instruments during the current period and
approximately $23.8 million of realized loss on the settlement of
natural gas financial instruments, as compared to the same period
in 2021. The losses on financial instruments were partially offset
by approximately $3.5 million of realized gain on the settlements
of LNG financial instruments in the current period.
Midstream
•Increase
of approximately $21.9 million in Development expenses primarily
attributable to approximately $6.2 million in the cost of land and
roads donated for public use in the state of Louisiana, an
approximately $3.6 million increase in technical and engineering
services associated with the Driftwood Project and pipeline
development activities, and an approximately $12.1 million increase
in compensation and other development expenses associated with the
Driftwood Project.
Consolidated
•Increase
of approximately $50.3 million in General and administrative
expenses primarily attributable to a $23.4 million increase in
compensation expenses, a $12.1 million increase in professional
services, a $9.0 million increase in donations to a university to
advance global energy research and other expenses in the normal
course of business.
Primarily as a result of the foregoing, our consolidated Net loss
was approximately $80.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2022, compared to a Net loss of approximately $73.5 million
during the same period in 2021.
Recent Accounting Standards
We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or
related disclosures.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There were no changes to the critical accounting policies made by
management in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Please refer to the Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates
section within Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 2 to

Results of Operations
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
The primary market risk relating to our financial instrument
contracts is the volatility in commodity market prices for our
natural gas production. We use financial instruments to reduce the
volatility of earnings and cash flow due to fluctuations in the
prices of natural gas. The market price risk is offset by the gain
or loss recognized upon the related sale of the production that is
financially protected. Refer to Note 6,
Financial Instruments,
of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report for additional details about our financial
instruments and their fair value.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As indicated in the certifications in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to
this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of
September 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, these officers
have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to them in a manner that allows for
timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective
in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. There were no changes during our last fiscal
quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed
in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, except for the risk
factors discussed below.
If the conditions precedent to our LNG sale and purchase agreement
(“LNG SPA”) cannot be satisfied or extended on acceptable terms, or
at all, such LNG SPA may be terminated.
In 2021, Driftwood LNG LLC (“Driftwood LNG”) entered into an LNG
SPA with each of Vitol Inc. (“Vitol”) and Gunvor Singapore Pte Ltd
(“Gunvor”) and two LNG SPAs with Shell NA LLC (“Shell”). On
September 23, 2022, we received a notice of termination from Shell
with respect to the two LNG SPAs with Shell, and we delivered a
notice of termination to Vitol regarding the LNG SPA with Vitol.
Conditions precedent to each party’s obligation to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the LNG SPA with Gunvor include (i)
Driftwood LNG having issued to Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc.
an unconditional full notice to proceed for the construction of the
first two plants of the Driftwood terminal and (ii) Driftwood LNG
or an affiliate thereof having secured the necessary financing
arrangements to construct such plants and having achieved financial
close under such arrangements. The LNG SPA with Gunvor has a
conditions precedent deadline of December 31, 2022. If the
conditions precedent to the LNG SPA with Gunvor are not satisfied
by such conditions precedent deadline, either party to the LNG SPA
can terminate such LNG SPA, subject to each LNG SPA’s notice
requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
satisfy or extend the conditions precedent deadline on acceptable
terms, or at all. The termination of the LNG SPA with Gunvor could
negatively affect our ability to secure additional equity and/or
debt financing to complete the Driftwood Project on acceptable
terms, or at all.
Our Acquisition (as defined below) may not achieve its intended
results and may result in us assuming unanticipated
liabilities.
On July 13, 2022, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement
(the “Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired on
August 18, 2022 certain natural gas assets in the Haynesville Shale
of Louisiana, with the expectation that the Acquisition would
result in various benefits, growth opportunities and synergies.
Achieving the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition is subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties. For example, under the
Acquisition Agreement, we had the opportunity to conduct customary
environmental and title due diligence. However, we may discover
title defects or adverse environmental or other conditions of which
we are currently unaware. Environmental, title and other problems
could reduce the value of the properties to us, and, depending on
the circumstances, we could have limited or no recourse with
respect to those problems. We have assumed substantially all of the
liabilities associated with the acquired properties and will be
entitled to indemnification in connection with those liabilities in
only limited circumstances and in limited amounts. We cannot assure
you that such potential remedies will be adequate for any
liabilities we incur, and such liabilities could be significant.
Also, it is uncertain whether our existing operations and the
acquired properties and assets can be integrated in an efficient
and effective manner.
As with other acquisitions, the success of the Acquisition depends
on, among other things, the accuracy of our assessment of the
reserves and drilling locations associated with the acquired
properties, future commodity prices and operating
costs and various other factors. These assessments are necessarily
inexact. As a result, we may not recover the purchase price for the
Acquisition from the sale of production from the properties or
recognize acceptable rates of return from such sales.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None that occurred during the three months ended September 30,
