After Six Decades, the U.S. Is About to Hit a Major Energy Milestone

Editor's Note: As one of the globe's leading energy consultants, Dr. Kent Moors' lengthy client list ranges from major energy companies to banks to and high-ranking government officials. Now he's sharing his 40 years of experience with investors just like you in Oil & Energy Investor. To access Kent's latest briefings, reports, and recommendations, absolutely free of charge, just click here.

In 2005, I was at a meeting of energy experts close to Dominion Energy Inc.'s (NYSE: D) liquefied natural energy (LNG) terminal in Cove Point, Maryland.

At the meeting, it was unanimously concluded that at least 15% of U.S. natural gas demand would be met by LNG imports within the next decade.

In those days, nearly 70% of the U.S crude demand was projected to be met by imports.

At that time, American oil production was not even 7 million barrels a day, with well over 60% of total volume coming from "stripper wells" - each providing less than 10 barrels daily but many more barrels of water than oil.

Back then, we were aware of the potential lurking in shale and tight oil and gas...

But nobody could have foreseen (myself included) the largesse LNG would provide.

Well, a great deal has changed since then...

Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that the United States would become a net exporter of crude oil and natural gas by 2022, which would mark the first year that U.S. energy exports surpassed imports since 1957, when Dwight Eisenhower was president.

And that is a very big deal.

Here's why...

The Energy Market's Dramatic Transformation

Understanding why the United States is on pace to export more energy than it imports boils down to two events that have dramatically transformed export prospects.

The first being when lawmakers ended the 40-year ban on U.S. oil exports back in December 2015.

At the time, excess supply was wreaking havoc on the energy sector as a whole. There was just too much American oil sitting around in storage, with no one around to buy it.

The second event was the LNG revolution.

The growth in U.S. LNG exports has dramatically transformed the global energy markets.

The Saudis have invested $100 billion into one type of fuel, and I’m not talking about oil. This universal fuel is slated for a global takeover. Here's how you can take part...

As I said above, just over a decade ago, the United States was expected to become a growing LNG importer, not exporter - likely to be dependent on Russian, Middle Eastern, and North African gas.

Instead, the U.S. has quickly become a dominant force in the LNG market by offering cheaper and more flexible cargos, and by being a more politically palpable supplier.

Fact is, both of these events have significant implications for investors because they bring into focus some companies likely to profit - a trend that should be continuing for some time.

America's Energy Dominance

The crude export totals coming out of the United States have been nothing short of staggering.
