LNG

ThePainStalker

Keep in mind too that before the 90s/2000s, natural gas generated electricity was actually somewhat rare in the US and Europe. It really only ever emerged due to it being newly abundant (North Sea gas and especially the US shale gas revolution in the late 00s) along with the LNG revolution (which was arguably even more important for it). Before then, natural gas was mostly only for direct home and industry heating (which is the most efficient application of it by far). Granted, natural gas electricity generation has incredibly important advantages right now (its ability to be built relatively quickly with low CAPEX and with a high ramp rate is crucial in a renewable dominated grid system, it also has a highly favourable pipeline system that makes it much cheaper compared to coal or even electric lines in terms of energy density) and almost no other energy source as of yet really demonstrates the same ability to ramp up and down as quickly as natural gas generators can (since in the 20th century, most electricity was firm baseload nuclear and coal which are very poor at ramping up or down). Only hydro and geothermal perhaps could come close and both are structurally limited (geothermal may be much less so given recent advances). The point is that this “natural gas abundance” era around the world is quite new even compared to general fossil fuel consumption. This is definitely not going to last (the Permian and Marcellus basins already could exhaust their prime spots in the next 10 years, probably sooner given AI demand now) and it also hasn’t been remotely how natural gas was ever treated as an electricity source (it used to only ever be used for heating or for peaker plants due to its relative scarcity). I guess the only real hope for a replacement is if massive gold hydrogen deposits can be extracted (which I believe they can be) and relatedly, if geothermal is driven right down in cost and scalability (which I also believe will happen). There are potentially huge deposits of hydrogen in Oman, France and the Midwestern US. Still until that point in time, it’s pretty moronic to be wasting natural gas like this all things considered since hydrogen extraction is clearly not commercially viable yet. We really should also convert a lot of heating to heat pumps if possible for that reason too (regardless of climate reasons, conserving an excellent energy resource for better use cases that is depleting fast should be common sense).

The power draw is a major concern. Though like anything, it really depends on how much it is drawing and whatnot. It’s moreso the fact that these tech companies expect power demand at completely unsustainable timelines. Like, the rapid growth in power demand is unprecedented for any other industry at the speed of what data centers demand. And considering that they are 24/7 non-flexible loads too (meaning firm power generation), that means nuclear or geothermal (or maybe scarce hydro power but I’d rather not) are the only real solutions, both of which are very time consuming and expensive to build. Wind and solar are obviously not viable for them unless maybe the top up a small bit of demand. That’s why the data centers are rushing to natural gas as it’s the only power generation source that is both very quick to deploy and firm and dispatchable, nothing else comes close. The US is really “lucky” in the sense that it has bountiful natural gas (Europe cannot even hope to match the AI buildout simply because it has practically zero natural gas). But that will be quite a disaster for consumers and other industries if not regulated properly (planned data center capacity could become responsible for nearly 20% of all US natural gas consumption, which frankly is a terrible waste of what currently is and should be a scarce and high value energy resource that should be prioritised for heating and peaker plant power, not continuous baseload electricity for reckless AI developers to squander). I wouldn’t be surprised if Americans bear the consequences of this come the next winter or two as natural gas prices soar (that plus LNG ensures that they will) and as data centers accelerate the depletion of the shale gas basins potentially by another decade.

OldCartographer8711

America’s in a supply glut and the LNG terminals are at maximum capacity to export to Europe already, and with el nino theyre expecting warmer temperatures this winter for the most part so I’m sitting this one out! I wish you the best of luck though

The U.S. publicly threatened to sabotage Europe's collective Nord Stream project way before the conflict in Eastern Europe even started. Even famous investigative journalist Seymour Hersch said the obvious: it was the U.S. The project was built not just by Russia, but by Germany (Wintershall Dea, Uniper), France (Engie), Austria (OMV), and the UK/Netherlands (Shell). It was blown up by the U.S.  within the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden, causing serious environmental damage there. That sets a precedent, making all U.S. pipelines and U.S. LNG shipments fair game now too. Marred U.S. projects shouldn't be delivering anything to any foreign market either.

I wonder why Biden blew up the international Nordstream gas pipeline and sabotaged all peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia...

Its not diesel its even worse. Well technically they could use diesel. But most use whats basically an airplane turbine powered by LNG. Theese are just a tiny bit louder than a generator 😂. I mean i bet some use normal diesel generators but the real high pitch screaming 100db+ noise comes from theese turbine generators

lonewolf420

Na not enought gov't oversite for the dems to just let the grind out there own water/electricity, they are going to want unionized datacenter labor and gov't IT sustaining people and they are going to slam them on LNG Turbine energy generation force some silly stuff like Solar and Wind only for datacenters and watch how quickly companies offshore any future build plans so they are not slowed down to their competitors in China who DGAF about any of that. People esentially voted to offshore datacenters and skip the jobs growth for themselves because "too many evaporative cooling towers turning my water into clouds!" "datacenter noise whine/hum is the new 5g cooking our brains!" "Datacenters bad because I hate AI slop!" Not saying I want to live next to a Datacenter, but a ban is just chopping off your own foot because you think a pegleg spring foot just looks cooler and can make you run faster and people with real feet are annoying and foots naturally stink.

There are a few broad shipping and transport funds out there, but most of them lean heavily toward container lines and tankers, so you don't get much exposure to the niche stuff like RoRo or chemical carriers. If you're looking at a 5-10 year window, the cycle matters way more than the fund wrapper. Dry bulk and LNG have been swinging hard on charter rates, while RoRo has stayed surprisingly steady because of how concentrated that market is. I'd probably skip the broad fund and just pick two or three segments you understand well enough to hold through a down year.

jrex035

LNG is a great pickup option, even if the crisis ends soon (it won't) Qatari LNG facilities are out of action for years to come

Jonas42

Worth noting that each of the major segments (dry bulk, containers, tankers, LPG, LNG, car carriers, WTIV) operate with distinct supply and demand dynamics and don't typically move in step with one another. Investing in shipping can be a great way to beat broad market benchmarks, but only if you're willing to spend a *ton* of time learning about the sector and monitoring your investments. It's not for tourists.

Korean exports this year is almost equal to Japan even when you exclude semiconductors. China is still 3 or so years behind in HBM tech, and there's still a question whether they can match EUV scale base/logic die performances wit DUV technology. Given that we have just entered the era of HBM4 (which uses EUV-scale nodes for logic dies), the gap there might widen even further. It's also something to note that Samsung has their own foundry. If the rumors are true that Samsung will mass produce Exynos 2700 and the 5G modem on the 2nm node, they might pull up 2nm yields dramatically like they did with the 4nm node, catching up to TSMC. When we say "Korean shipbuilding" we really mean VLGCs and LNGCs. There's such a huge LNGC backlog around the world right now that Korean shpbuilders aren't worried for the next 5 years. Even then Canada is increasing their LNG output to the Pacific over the next few years which means that the demand will keep going

p_cool_guy

I bought em all in various amounts. They're all doing very well. Also NG, LNG (ticker) is back to yearly highs. Qatar buying US NG boosted.

GreatPlainsFarmer

It’s not going to be that serious. North American farm output will continue as normal. Even South America and Europe will be close to normal. Remember, only 10% of global fertilizer supply was affected at first. Even with the LNG curtailments, we’re still looking at 85% of normal fertilizer production continuing. It’s Africa and parts of Asia that will see reduced harvests. The places that can’t afford to bid up for fertilizer

NEXT LNG liquefier. They’re starting to commission the construction on the first train by next year. It’s a good hedge should Middle East or Russian stuff picks back up again too. Hanwha or whatever is heavily invested so waiting out more South Korea crashing until I load up. IMSR for SMR. Their cash pile is like 80% of their market cap rn 😂 solid project delivery stuff too with NG bridging while the SMR is being developed. Might go down to $2 but worth $10 at least if they get good catalyst news on the next rally.

Given the selloff, what does the near future look like for LNG? Earnings is in 13 days, does it keep pace until then, or is it subject to the same downwards pressures the rest of the market is seeing?

Hard agreed with you. It's gonna be choppy, but I'm particularly bullish on LNG. The crippled facilities in the ME are gonna take a long time to get back to where they were pre-war.

Federal-Watch

This is part of the reason I bought puts for October, but mostly that strike on the LNG tanker that was just fueling up inside the Gulf was a huge escalation compared to just hitting ships running the strait. Iranians followed that ship in there on satellites, waited for it to dock and start transfer and then hit it

sweart1

If I'm reading this correctly it doesn't represent the ships getting through that go silent while transiting. There are a fair number of ships going through but they have to offload their oil to ships waiting outside and shuttle back. The result is high transport costs, so even though a good amount of oil is getting through the cost of oil stays high In addition, there are rumors that some Gulf states are paying Iran hefty sums to allow their oil through. Add in oil pipelines and the Trump graph may not be wildly off... but it ignores (a) the costs including the unsustainable costs to US Navy escorts (b) refined products (diesel) not included (c) LNG not included to say nothing of fertilizer etc.

Affectionate-Idea690

EU’s underground gas storage is lower than last year (**72% full compared to 83%**), a normal winter is manageable, but a severe cold snap will force Europe to import massive amounts of expensive LNG to avoid shortages. poor europoors here let me send u a heating blanket

Datacenters are being cancelled as there's zero appetite for the bonds, energy supply, and heavy Chinese government lobbying to locals about fake stories about water consumption and noise. Plus there's literally zero turbines available, Tesla is building a turbine factory to make turbines for generating power from LNG at data Center sites. Any suppliers are very risky.

Well OP, you're in good company. UK passive evangelists @Monevator evidently tipping Persimmon and Berkeley Group from the comments on their naughty active 'Mogul' tier on Friday: https://monevator.com/their-first-home-the-next-buying-opportunity-members/ Can't say I'm feeling a warm glow when it comes to home builders here: - UK TFR 1.39 and falling. Population rise flattening out fast. London population down. Massive hostility to more immigration. All = fewer eventually buyers. - Planning system since 1947 prevents building at scale. - Crashes every 17 or so years in 1974, 1991, 2009 and arguably now. Central London prices (especially flats) falling like a brick (average Westminster selling price down £1.5 mn to £1.2 mn last year IIRC). Where London goes rest of UK tends to follow. - UK energy dependency means uniquely exposed to imported inflation (especially on LNG) and no sign rate cycle anywhere near topping. - Massive overhang of BTL flats being sold due to successive governments (from 2015 onwards) war on landlords. The numbers don't work. That gums up the entry tier on home selling and eventually effects reach up the housing ladder. - Grenfell / cladding remediation throwing more spanners in the works. What starts in flats doesn't stay in flats. There's no magic protective force field around new home builders. Then again, buy when there's blood in the streets and all that.....I your brave (spoiler alert, I ain't).

decollimate28

The US makes most of the worlds diesel, and 25% of that goes to Europe. The US is also the largest producer of natural gas and LNG. LNG shipments to Europe now represent 22% of Europes gas consumption. So no you didn’t quite get it right. Wouldn’t trade that thesis anyway.

kexportstars

Oil nearing $100 is always brutal for trade-dependent Asian manufacturing, but Korea's KOSPI holding up relatively well (down only 0.3%) usually comes down to sector divergence. Crude spikes crush domestic refiners' margins and hit petrochemical names immediately, while defense and shipbuilding often see offsetting tailwinds from Middle East security spend and LNG carrier demand. Also, whenever US 10-year yields spike to multi-decade highs, foreign capital tends to pull out of emerging market equities to park back in dollar debt. Watching the won-dollar exchange rate is basically the real tell here—if the won blows past historical resistance levels, tech and battery names usually get dumped regardless of company fundamentals.

jrex035

Sure, but still way below pre-war flows. Total oil + refined products are still somewhere around 6-7m bpd less than pre-war. So the crisis is still getting worse every day despite the relative improvement. Also important to highlight the extra cost associated with getting those barrels to market, somewhere around $25-30 per barrel higher than pre-war which has required Gulf state producers to offer these barrels at steep discounts. And that's not counting the cost of daily US escort missions. Also also, the amount of LNG, refined products, sulphur, aluminum, fertilizer, heliun, etc crossing the Strait is a fraction of pre-war levels which is a whole other problem altogether

Happy-n-Healthy

It's a good thing those Cruise Ships switched over from diesel to LNG or they'd be BK

mohelgamal

If you decide to deploy a gigawatt of energy today: \- Solar/battery will cost you $3 billion to start, then $10 million/year in maintaince and the project will be done in 2 years \- LNG will cost $3 billion for turbines, then $500 million/year for fuel, and the project will have to wait until 2029 when the turbines backlog is done \- nuclear will cost you $30 billion to start, $100 million/year running costs, and The project will not be finished until minimum 2035, that is assuming you find a county in the entire country that wouldn't outright refuse to allow the project to proceed. I know some people will take issue with this take, but to be honest, I think nuclear is going to be side stepped over by Solar/battery. it will have may be a couple of niche applications. but The idea that we will somehow get nuclear to be a widely used technology is just propaganda at this point. Almost all the "modern" nuclear reactor designs are like 20 years old, they were not commercially viable then, and they aren't viable now. It take way too long, cost way too much, Requires extensive mining for ore which is something most nuclear enthusiast seems to forget about it.

Before asking what stock should I buy, first ask what kind of investor am I? Your question suggests you want to be a momentum investor, that is, buy something not yet hot and make profit when it gets much hotter and is discovered by other people. Assuming that's what you want, don't spend time researching slow-moving, dividend-paying established companies. Don't spend time on struggling companies with turnaround stories that could take awhile to pay off, or never pay off. Ask the question, what are people really going to *need*, or else *want* so much they think they need it, but few investors realize it yet? Becoming aware of economic currents that inevitably must lead somewhere is one start. For example, Strait of Hormuz blocked, oil has to go the long way around, oil goes on ships, look into VLCCs (very large crude carriers). Late February/March 2026 was the time for this. For example, Pres. Trump gives a press conference saying he intends to get Greenland. If you think he just might do it, search "what natural resource companies invest in Greenland" and start reading. Learn about the geography, rare earths, gold, where the military bases will be built. And, since Pres. Trump got a Greenland deal last week, perhaps tomorrow, Monday, is the time to invest. One such stock I decided to buy is NextDecade Corp. (NEXT). I'm not telling you to buy it. I'm explaining how it could work. I believe LNG (liquefied natural gas) being exported from the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America must grow hugely to satisfy demand, and I read that this facility received approval to work 24/7 around the clock to complete and begin shipping. It's going to require work, and reading, and improving your knowledge of economics, and seeking out first sources and industry news, not the lazy stuff that passes for mass market journalism. It's going to require original thinking, and everyone else thinking you are nuts.

ToastSpangler

so you're talking about LNG/CNG shipping or the engines? i am much more familiar with LNG but both require specialized bunkering facilities, outside tankers you have the issue of vessel size - CNG is faar less dense than LNG, so for the same energy you need a huge tank, making it impossible to use on most oceanic liner vessels without wasting too much cargo capacity. LNG could eventually be used by all ships but right now it's not super common, and many ports don't have LNG bunkering facilities, so the ships have to be limited in their current lines/routes. Its not cheap to get an LNG bunker barge, and many ports don't have natural gas supplies either - oil/bunker fuel is much denser and easier for them basically, it will never fully replace traditional bunker fuel, but it could take a large part of the market for high capacity vessels, or vessels with known set routes

ToastSpangler

ok in theory - you're 100% right. in practice, i am not betting on it, and i work in supply chains and transportation we have tons of gas, it's way cleaner, supply chains are much safer (for us), HOWEVER all alternative energy fuel people shit on it like there's no tomorrow. there was no reason outside urban areas to switch to EVs over CNG (especially given CNG has far fewer design challenges and is easy to refuel), CNG consumer vehicles have existed and are loved (fiat multipla as a personal example, fantastic car, could run 400km off gasoline too if you preferred), but marketing and social media picked the sloppy china-dependent option LNG is huge - but for maritime shipping and powerplants. because there is literally no workable alternative. but on land people will do whatever mental gymnastics are needed to either keep gas/diesel, or to pivot to electric (which for trucks is insane vs CNG but again, here we are) you want to bet gas, bet LNG and operators using methane as feedstock for other chemical processes. CNG has too much social and political opposition just my two cents.

AJ_Grey

You could probably throw Baker Hughes (BKR) into the GE Family since they spun off in 2019. They do have some of the tech for LNG turbines and their recent purchase of Chart has helped with diversification from the oil patch.

GoonSquadCommand

RCL might be in a long term slump They thought they could insulate themselves from volatile oil prices by pivoting to LNG and now their main supplier is completely cut off Pair that with consumers being squeezed out of any discretionary spending it seems not even RCL can bounce off resistance

CantaloupeSea48

Clearly more oil/LNG is getting through the Straight than previously thought. Saudi Arabia is even putting more through as per news yesterday. Thus Fertilizers are probably getting through as well. People want to take some profit. ONLY reason oil is down so much.

Rock_or_Rol

IMSR for a volatile SMR play They have a MoU with RIOT for a data center. They’re on the DOE pilot project list with OKLO. They just got a deal with the army for a project announced today Ample cash reserves. Accumulating backlog. Very efficient salt reactor system with lower core replacement intervals than competitors and lower enrichment levels that give a supply chain advantage. They’re managing backlog accumulating and cash flow with an energy system that will use LNG during SMR construction. They submitted their reactor system to the NRC about 2 weeks ago. Possible upcoming catalysts, NRC approval, 🥭 subsidizing SMRs, selection with more data centers, more work with Westinghouse and breaking ground at Texas A&M/RIOT. Risks, salt is corrosive. Their system hinges on alloy material science. That and cash burn They’ll be at $20 a share once they break ground on the pilot project imo.

lazydictionary

Not much cheaper than heating oil since many places in NE get their power from natural gas power plants that rely on LNG deliveries.

Rekzero

I mean the modern world wouldn’t exist without fossil fuels, diesel, powers trucks and farm equipment, planes can’t fly without fossil fuels. LNG allows us to make fertilizer, which the world population could not be sustained without. It’s not propaganda it is just reality. I don’t think people have some deep affinity for burning fossil fuels, electric cars have only recently started getting cheap on the used car market. I think a lot of regular people will switch over to electric just for the savings. I recently switched over to electric because of the savings and the cars are getting very affordable too.

Oil transport stocks, especially those with ships that can go through the Panama Canal. I own DHT Holdings (DHT) and Dorian LPG (LPG). These have had a considerable run-up and normally I would have taken profit, but I have decided to keep them even at these high prices. IMO there is a major realigment in process of how oil gets produced, refined, and transported in the world and a lot of it will be going by ship. You might consider LNG stocks. I own NextDecade Corp (NEXT) a large liquefied natural gas facility in Brownsville, TX that will be shipping its first product by early 2027. Three months ago NEXT received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval for 24/7 continuous construction in order to complete the facility faster. I expect similar speed-up has been applied to other LNG facilities, as the need is pretty urgent for greater supply. IMO I would concentrate on stocks with facilities in the Gulf of America/Gulf of Mexico. Venezuela is going to become very important.

GailaMonster

With the current supply shock to oil, international markets are more exposed. Lots of other issues with America right now putting us at unique risk due to leadership deficiencies (to put it mildly), but we have LNG and a domestic oil supply. China really doesn’t…

The-Iron-Bird

helium one of most expensive components of LNG tmk, big bottleneck in lot of production chains including chip-production iirc

The-Iron-Bird

I don't generally mess with oil/gas stuff, only one I got on my radar is PSRHF they've tapped some new fields in minnesota or something with huge helium concentration. tmk LNG is generally considered commercially viable to extract for helium at concentration of .25% and they got fields with 8%+. going to be a real $ maker what with Qatar not pumping out anything of note while this war rages on need to look into their cash situation/how much dilution is still on the table though, see when right time to buy is

BeerAndOil

I had to open up the financials and see why TNZ is on a moon trip. 90% of their gas production is in the Netherlands and is sold on Dutch TTF future pricing at €77.65 today. We sell gas in alberta at the AECO hub for $1.31. Insane difference with nordstream blown up and LNG shipping disrupted.

WindHero

Yeah east coast LNG would be cool. Hopefully it gets done this time. But not holding my breath. The US has been building massive LNG export capacity on the gulf coast. They are capturing the Atlantic LNG market right now while we are decades away.

DudeInTheGarden

It creates a framework for expanding energy exports from Canada. Our LNG plants are on the west coast, and mostly ship to Asia. There has been talk about increasing our energy export capacity on the east coast, for shipping to Europe. And Europe wants to diversify their energy, just like we want to diversify our trade. Canada was too dependent on the US for trade and it bit us in the a$$. Europe was too dependent on Russia, and it bit them in the a$$. It's time for the reasonable countries of the world to kick the dysfunctional crack-heads out of the basement.

CarRamRob

Gas is unaffected? Have you seen LNG shipments? Maybe American gas is unaffected. That is not true whatsoever for the rest of the world where gas prices are spiking more than oil prices. I guess, if you are an American without the ability to se further that is true. Otherwise energy prices are rocketing up for everything.

SquatComrade

You really thought you could post dumb bull and not get fact checked in this day n age # 1. "The US has attained its highest energy exports ever." * **Verdict:** **TRUE** * **Details:** The U.S. has hit record high energy exports driven by booming crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of LNG and a top global crude producer. # 2. "Trump kicked China out of Panama and Venezuela..." * **Verdict:** **FALSE / EXAGGERATED** * **Details:** * **Panama:** China maintains significant economic presence in Panama (including port operations run by CK Hutchison Holdings). While U.S. administrations have exerted diplomatic pressure to limit Chinese infrastructure control, China was not "kicked out." * **Venezuela:** China remains a major creditor and purchaser of Venezuelan crude. Sanctions have complicated logistics, but Chinese state firms still operate in Venezuela’s energy sector. # 3. "Nobody imagines China taking Taiwan any more." * **Verdict:** **FALSE** * **Details:** Geopolitical analysts, intelligence agencies, and military planners still treat a potential Chinese blockade or invasion of Taiwan as one of the single most dangerous global flashpoints. China has not backed away from its stated goal of eventual unification. **4. "The US is tight with Malaysia for control of the Strait of Malacca."** * **Verdict:** **MISLEADING** * **Details:** Malaysia maintains a strictly non-aligned foreign policy and works closely with neighbors like Indonesia and Singapore regarding maritime security. It does not hand over "control" of the Strait to the U.S. while maintaining extensive economic ties with China. # 5. "It will take only maybe 2 years before the Strait of Hormuz is irrelevant..." * **Verdict:** **FALSE** * **Details:** Roughly **20 million barrels per day** (about 20% of global petroleum consumption) move through the Strait of Hormuz. Existing bypass infrastructure—such as Saudi Arabia's East-West Petroline and the UAE's Habshan-Fujairah pipeline—can only reroute about 6.5 to 8 million barrels per day combined. Building enough bypass pipelines to make the Strait irrelevant within two years is geographically and logistically impossible. # 6. "The Saudis and Sunni countries will horsewhip the Houthis and Shia." * **Verdict:** **UNLIKELY / OVERSIMPLIFIED** * **Details:** Saudi Arabia spent years fighting the Houthis in Yemen without a military victory, leading to an extended, fragile truce and ongoing negotiations. Regional dynamics are highly complex, and Sunni coalition victories over Iran-aligned groups are far from guaranteed. # Summary The poster correctly identifies strong **U.S. energy export growth**. However, the post relies on heavy hyperbole, inaccurate claims about global supply chains (Strait of Hormuz bypass capacity), and unrealistic geopolitical outcomes regarding China, Iran, and the Middle East.

RXrenesis8

And where does that LNG and the light sweet crude oil that most gasoline is refined from come from? *That* is why there's not a panic in the US markets. (IMO of course)

Stonk_Trader69420

LNG will be high in december, we'll be shipping alot to the europoors so they dont freeze

CarRamRob

While you are doing that, it’s worth noting you should check energy consumption. And this is a double whammy because it’s not just oil. It’s LNG as well. And all the refining/processing capability of the Gulf that is the middleman for a lot of products. Yes there is resiliencey, but demand is also sky high.

matazabubu

Oil is 8% at most in Japan, literally less than nuclear even after their panic shutdowns of most of their nukes. LNG, coal, and renewables are their major sources.

Don't have a huge position, but I'm holding LNG too. Hoping it'll really pop off in the winter

I'm with you. Been loading up on LNG for the past several months.

In theory Canada is in a better position to “produce more” because we have more land mass and less people. We essentially have the space to bring in as many people as we want and build as many production facilities as we want. The cold weather also helps us a lot with Data centers, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Plants and Similar Cryogenic/Process Facilities Typically it’s very expensive to keep these facilities cool. We just let nature do its thing. We save massively on water consumption and energy usage

anyone buying LNG here?

I get it. Without getting into the details, what followed (not directly related but indirectly so) was the worst year and a half of my life that almost ended in my death. So, thats why when I saw what might have been...and how things would have been so different, brought out emotions in me. Kind of like your life passing before you sort of thing? That feeling when I saw what LNG would become is not so strong anymore but...I can't forget it:)

LNG. At the time all it had going for it was a dream to export frozen natural gas to Asia. No terminals built.

There will not be an incoming energy crisis. This whole situation is going to be short-term pain, but not matter in the mid - long term ( > 6 months, maybe even less) There's lot's of scary headlines and bears coming out claiming a big crash is coming because of the Strait of Hormuz. Maybe the market will crash eventually but it will not be due to oil and the the Strait of Hormuz. This situation will only impact the Markets in the short-term. We all know that currently the strait accounts for the flow of around 20% of global oil and LNG. Iran is effectively holding this pipeline hostage and succeeding with many tanker attacks which would theoretically greatly impact the oil markets and broader economy. Markets are reacting significantly right now for now, but... The United States as well as China (Using the top two oil consuming Countries in the world by a large margin as an example) have shown great resilience so far to the energy crisis. The States is a net exporter of petroleum products and LNG and produces most their oil domestically while not reliant on Middle-East oil, and China is expected to use over 42% of their energy from renewable sources by end of 2026. China also has the largest supply of oil reserves made for these emergency situations (more than the initially estimated 1.5 billion barrels). China is a Country that can easily oil conservation rules that its' citizens will abide by, and can make this stockpile last over a year. The general assumption is if the situation progresses oil prices / the stock market / and Global economy will get worse. I do not believe this is true. Currently there are energy pipelines being built to bypass the SoH. 60% of oil going through Hormuz is expected to be bypassed by end or 2028 (one of the pipeline examples [https://reuters.com/business/energy/uae-accelerate-oil-pipeline-project-help-bypass-hormuz-2026-05-15/](https://t.co/LaqB8DsCsK)). This was estimated long before the Venezuela deal as well, which will also slowly support oil production from a source outside the Middle East. You might think we won't get any Venezuela oil for another 5-10 years while pipelines and drilling gets put into place. However Venezuela has 30-50 million barrels of sanctioned oil ready to go. As part of the Venezuela deal the States will get access to this ready oil immediately (pending refining). This oil once refined can be distributed immediately (Refining is a very quick process for companies in the States). Not only that but Venezuela already has brownfield and fully operational oil operations that will be used and restarted and expected to start producing within 1-2 years while the States build out greenfield operations in Venezuela. Also for Greenfield operations it's not like the States needs to wait 7-10 years and even then these projects are done in increments so smaller amounts of oil will be ready to be extracted after a few years which accelerates as infrastructure comes fully online. Also don't forget 80% of global oil supply is still operating business as usual. Not only that but more and more oil are making their way through the Strait despite increasing attacks: [https://cnn.com/2026/09/02/politics/latest-us-strikes-against-iran-marked-a-shift-in-strategy?Date=20260902&Profile=CNN&utm\_content=1788390517&utm\_medium=social&utm\_source=twitter](https://t.co/v7qtzZqkPe) Maybe you're thinking sure, but that's only 60%, well... if the SoH remains closed based on the IEA long-term report, we forecast Non OPEC Countries to scale production to account for another 20-30% of the blocked SoH oil by 2028/2029 ([https://eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=64565](https://t.co/7pXy7qFv6T)). There are also other Countries like Canada and mentioned Venezuela I believe that can ramp up global oil supplies in the case where SoH is indefinitely closed (however this is speculative, so I won't get into it). I also believe if the Russia & Ukraine conflict resolves in the next two years that would also slowly help supply energy (but again speculative). As for the missing 20% LNG, Canada is sitting on massive Natural Gas deposits and is already expediting pipelines to supply more LNG into the world albeit by 2028 ([https://reuters.com/business/energy/ceraweek-iran-war-makes-second-phase-lng-canada-more-likely-tc-energy-ceo-says-2026-03-23/](https://t.co/WqMBCLnyWS)). The United States is also expected to ramp up it's exports of LNG if the SoH issue prolongs along with other Countries. In fact lessening our reliance on the Strait or Hormuz actually brings more certainty to the Stock market, Global Economy and oil markets, as the economy have had so many issues with some form of reliance on Iran in the past for energy. Not only that but oil exchanges via the Oman Route have slowly be increasing as time goes on despite these Iran attacks. 18 Million barrels of protected oil was transferred via the Oman route this Tuesday, and 24 million barrels of protected oil was transferred via the Oman route this Thursday (https://www.iranintl.com/en/202609053492). All of this puts extreme pressure on Iran. Iran is in a tough spot, if they do not negotiate soon and the world moves away from reliance on the SoH, they will be in an extremely bad position for Iran all while having a lot of their existing infrastructure and economy destroyed requiring them decades to rebuild. If they do negotiate, then the Global Economy improves faster and oil prices come down faster. **TLDR (I bet most of you aren't gonna read that whole thing anyways)** Iran's negotiating power decreases as time goes on as the World builds out alternatives to the SoH, which are already underway. If Iran does not come to the table not only will their Countries infrastructure be damaged that will take decades to fix but the world will have greatly reduced reliance on them geopolitically. Long-term less reliance on Iran brings more certainty to the Global Economy and the Oil markets as the world have less reliance on them and can be more aggressive with keeping Iran's potential Nuclear program at bay. If Iran does negotiate then the oil market and Global Economy will be business as usual as well.

Gonna be hilarious when oil bulls realize this was the last high of the year Realize OGs know LNG is the real commodity to own for fall/winter

wingsbc

It would be a real kick in the US knackers if Carney announces a slew of really big trade deals with other countries in the next couple of weeks for LNG, Potash, Oil, Aluminum, Precious Minerals etc.

LNG tickers usually dropped with the peace deals before. This time noone is falling for it.

Power is a major bottleneck right now, there isn't enough power available in our energy grids to power all of their data centers under construction, like not even close. But the companies think they can get around it by using power not from the grid. They've been hooking up modified jet engines and powering them with diesel and LNG. That's why people complain about these data centers. If they were hooked up to the grid, they'd be whisper quiet and could potentially run on green energy, but instead there's 20 jet engines constantly running in the parking lot.
