12. View from the Casino
• Beginner’s Luck:
o First movers in LNG terminal construction benefit
• Gambler’s Conceit:
o Demand for natural gas will go up forever and there is unlimited demand
for LNG
• Stacked Deck:
o Some LNG terminal investors/companies are better situated than others
• House Loses:
o Prices at Henry Hub will rise with exports
• Count Cards:
o There will be a tipping point with these LNG investments, and the
economics will justify a volume far below 34 bcf/d. Analysts need to keep
track of the impact of each new increment of export capacity
