Natural Gas Stocks

Natural gas stocks are companies that mine and distribute natural gasses. These fossil energy sources are formed deep underground and can only be extracted through advanced mining equipment. The industry includes oil and gas exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and stocks such as Cheniere Energy and Tellurian. Most companies in the sector are engaged in the mining and refining of liquefied natural gas and hydrocarbon exploration.
