I don't mean to say that Asia is the only market but it is a sizable market. Look at the deal announced yesterday in which the Japan companies are taking an equity position in both Cheniere's export terminal and distribution chain

OTOH, Cheinere is already diverting their imported gas to Europe.

The gulf coast doesn't have a lock on the asian market. Alaska wants part of it. Canada wants to get their natural gas to the pacific, possibly to WA since they have announced an export terminal there.

I don’t see our export volume in petroleum to be significant over the next couple decades.

In LNG export, competing with Russia and Australia along with transportation distance will keep Europe as a more profitable customer.
