U.S. the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas, Following T. Boone Pickens into the Energy Patch / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Money_Morning
G.S. Early writes:
An iconic Southwestern energy patch player, T. Boone Pickens has built a legacy over the decades that proves the old Texas saying: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."
In the wild days of the 1980s, made famous by a generation of traders who emulated the likes of Gordon Gekko, few could ever match the Pickens eye for the big deal.

Generational Low for Natural Gas / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Natural gas is in the midst of the establishment of a generational low, when everything appears extremely bleak fundamentally. This is a classic commodity capitulation period. From my perspective, the extended falling wedge type pattern once again is in a position to do serious damage to the well-entrenched shorts -- that is, if the price structure finds a way to hurdle 2.015-2.030 . . . 6.60 in the ProShares Ultra DJ-UBS Natural Gas (BOIL).

Super-Cooled Natural Gas is Red Hot in International Markets / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Elliot_H_Gue
Natural gas transforms into a liquid when it’s cooled to minus 260 degrees, enabling exporters to load the liquefied commodity onto specialized carriers for shipment to an import terminal.LNG frees gas from the physical constraints of the global pipeline system. Before the widespread commercialization of LNG technology, natural gas located far offshore or in remote areas was considered stranded and had no economic value because producers couldn’t deliver output to consumers. LNG allows natural gas produced in Australia or offshore West Africa to high-demand markets such as Europe and Asia.

Natural Gas Fracking Boom Turns Sour / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Andrew_McKillop
Exxon Mobil's CEO Rex Tillerson, unveiling bad news on Exxon's intense program to develop shale and stranded gas resources, said March 8th that some shale formations in Europe and China are impervious to drilling techniques that opened vast reserves of US natural gas and identified potential shale oil reserves, from Texas and Pennsylvania to North Dakota. He concluded that new methods and techniques will need to be invented to tap many of the shale fields that energy companies and governments across the world, with a few exceptions hope eventually will yield a bonanza of gas and then oil.

Germany Marches East - Russia Moves West, Putins Energy Diplomacy / Politics / Natural Gas

ITS THE GAS, STUPID
LUBMIN, Germany, Nov 8, 2011 — Chancellor Angela Merkel and outgoing president Dmitry Medvedev met in the village of Lubmin on Germany's Baltic coast to inaugurate the 7.4 billion euro natural gas pipeline that links Germany directly with Siberia's vast gas reserves. The 1220-kilometre Nord Stream pipeline, claimed as the world's longest continuous underwater pipeline, will in its first year bring about 27.5 billion cubic metres of gas, but by end-2013 will double in capacity. French prime minister Francois Fillon and his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte also attended the Lubmin ceremony in a sign of the political importance of Europe's newest energy link: the keywords used by all these European political leaders were "strengthening the security of European energy supplies".
