Enron Global LNG
Enron Global LNG is positioning itself to be a creator and leader of a global 
wholesale LNG market.  The rising prices of natural gas in the United States 
and concerns over future energy supplies have created a bullish outlook for 
LNG in the U.S. and around the globe.   LNG has played a major role in 
serving energy needs in many parts of the world, but its place in the U.S. 
energy picture has been limited. An LNG market that spans the globe can 
supply vast amounts of otherwise stranded gas to the world,s growing appetite 
for cleaner burning fuels.   Enron Global LNG sees great opportunity for 
Enron,s wholesale energy business model to help shape yet another energy 
market.
