How Cheniere Energy Plans to Survive the Oil and Gas Downturn

Founded nearly 40 years ago, Cheniere Energy (NYSEMKT: LNG) is one of the largest American liquefied natural gas (LNG) producers and exporters. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in slowing energy demand and has interfered with LNG supply lines and project schedules, Cheniere Energy thinks it can survive this oil and gas downturn. In its quarterly earnings call on April 30, Cheniere noted that Asia's LNG imports increased 7% year-over-year in the quarter, Europe's increased by 25% year-over-year, and U.S. deliveries to Europe increased by 40% quarter-over-quarter.
