Liquefied Natural Gas Companies
A study made by Energy Department of the United States released on 5th of December, 2012 has intensified the
debate on what America should do with its abundance of natural gas – this might lead to huge opportunities for natural gas companies.
Critics of exporting natural gas companies have argued that exporting the resource to global markets would harm the economy of the United States by raising natural gas and oil prices, natural gas companies.
But the company of NERA Economic Consulting study, done at the DOE's request, natural gas companies,
showed that the U.S. would get a positive economic boost from
exporting LNG-liquefied natural gas, even under all possible scenarios
in which exports are envisioned for natural gas companies.
"Across all these scenarios, natural gas companies, the United States was projected to gain net
economic benefits from allowing liquefied natural gas exports from natural gas companies. Furthermore, for everyone of
the market scenarios examined for natural gas companies, net economic benefits increased as the
level of liquefied natural gas exports increased," the study found. "In particular, natural gas companies,
scenarios with unlimited exports always had higher net economic benefits compared to corresponding cases with limited exports of natural gas companies"
This study could increase the possibilities of the U.S. Energy Department
approving permits for natural gas companies to build liquefied natural gas export
facilities. Only one natural gas company has ever been approved to build an liquefied natural gas
export terminal, and at least fifteen more LNG export projects, natural gas companies are waiting
for the green light.
Here's why natural gas companies are vying for a piece of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export market.
Liquefied Natural Gas Companies to Watch
Some natural gas companies in the United States are ahead of natural gas competitors in setting up liquefied natural gas-export facilities.
Investors that want to profit from liquefied natural gas companies exports must keep an eye on these:

liquefied natural gas. The Gorgon Project is the largest single-resource
project in Australia, natural gas company, with a 15 million-metric ton per-year liquefied natural gas facility. Chevron Corp. liquefied natural gas company has
