Liquefied Natural Gas Company

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.
