This year looks to be the best ever for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal stocks.

LNG Terminal Stocks

LNG terminal stocks refer to the companies building facilities to export LNG from the United States to areas where natural gas prices three or four times higher - like Asia.

This massive new LNG industry comes from the United States' abundance of natural gas resources. It has triggered a race among energy companies to turn former import terminals into export facilities.

In fact, Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors calls the coming increase in LNG traffic is the "single most decisive change in worldwide energy transfers this decade."

Why Britain is Looking to U.S. for 20 Years' Worth of LNG

The $15.1 billion-plus deal between Houston-based Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE: LNG) and Centrica, a British energy firm, marks the first time Britain has ever imported natural gas from the U.S.

The deal has big implications for companies involved in the flourishing U.S. shale gas industry, in which gas is extracted through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

You see, fracking has led to an abundance of natural gas and will go a long way toward making the U.S. a net exporter of energy instead of a net importer in the coming years.

That, of course, will be a big boon to natural gas companies that export LNG.
