At Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana, U.S. shale gas will soon be exported.
Bloomberg reports that a fleet of tugboats first intended for natural gas imports seven years ago finally have a purpose: they will be used for U.S. liquid natural gas exports. U.S. shale drillers are producing 80 billion cubic feet of natural gas each day, so the country will likely become a key exporter.
The Energy Atlantic, a tanker that will transport the liquid natural gas, was expected to get to Sabine Pass Jan. 12.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
