These three LNG plays are worthy investments, Jim Cramer says

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Tuesday picked three liquified natural gas stocks investors should consider purchasing.

Here is Cramer’s list of three LNG stocks he believes investors should be eyeing, starting with his favorite:

$Sempra Energy(SRE.US)$
Sempra Energy is “not a pure play, but does have a nice LNG export business,” Cramer said.

“I like it long-term, as it’s the single best growth utility around with a terrific liquefied natural gas kicker. … If you’re looking for ways to play Europe’s demand for liquefied natural gas, I like Sempra Energy the best,” he said, adding that the business is “consistent” and its stock is still cheap relative to the company’s earnings.

$Cheniere Energy(LNG.US)$
“It’s the safest pure play in the industry. … Analysts expect Cheniere’s sales and earnings to peak this year. If you believe the LNG business can stay strong beyond 2022, then you’ve got my blessing to buy this one, but otherwise it’s possible the good news is already baked in and we are in, suddenly, a not great stock market,” Cramer said.

$Tellurian(TELL.US)$
“Given that the stock has basically doubled since the end of last year, I think that you can afford to be patient here. Just wait for a better entry point,” Cramer said.
