Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of liquefied natural gas player Cheniere Energy (NYSE: LNG) have popped today by upward of 13% after the company announced a big contract win.

So what: Cheniere subsidiary Sabine Pass Liquefaction and Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals have inked a lump-sum turnkey contract for engineering, procurement, and construction of the first two liquefaction trains at the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana. The total contract price is pegged at $3.9 billion, and total expected costs for the project before financing are expected to be between $4.5 billion and $5 billion.

Now what: Sabine Liquefaction is planning on constructing liquefaction facilities capable of producing 9 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas in the first part of its project, while selling 7 million tonnes per annum of the production through long-term sales and purchase agreements. Bechtel will develop and construct two liquefaction trains using its proven technology, since the two companies have worked together in the past.
