Are you worried about leasing your land to gas companies or do you not own enough land to lease? Don’t worry, there’s still a few ways you can profit from the natural gas boom.

Erin E. Arvedlund, columnists for the Philadelphia Inquirer, posted a column, this week, about how to profit from the shale gas boom, without leasing your land.

His advice? Invest in natural gas, though in the short term, it may be a rollercoaster ride. Arvedlund took his advice from Goldman Sachs.

Read it:

The fundamental case for investing in natural gas, according to Goldman, is not a good one if you solely consider the current price. A boom in production of late has led to a temporary but money-losing oversupply, but there is the prospect of a more balanced market next year and beyond. Though there is a glut of natural gas in this country, even with utilities cranking because of the heat wave, Goldman sees an upside to prices in 2013, saying natural gas could rise to $4 in the next year.

Goldman also recommends investing in companies that deal in natural gas infrastructure.

Natural gas is at an all time low, right now, but in the future companies could profit from processing the gas and not just drilling for it.
