Natural gas and associated investment opportunities are garnering a lot of attention from a very broad audience, according to Brad D. Nelson, managing director in the energy investment banking group at Stephens Inc. "We believe this momentum has been building for a long time as natural gas has evolved from a local to a global commodity. We also believe the interest, demand and need for natural gas was occurring well before the Ukraine-Russia crisis." Nelson said. "Pre-COVID, the acronym of the decade was ESG. Post-COVID, ESG is and will continue to be front and center for the conventional energy industry. More importantly, ESG is a factor in capital allocators' decision-making. As we all know, natural gas is much cleaner and more environmentally friendly than oil and other conventional energy sources."
