Natural gas tycoon Charif Souki says the retail investors he aims to reach with a series of YouTube videos are “extremely important and extremely sophisticated.”

Souki, the chairman and founder of Tellurian Inc., said in a Bloomberg Television interview on Wednesday that the company realized in March of last year it had about 40,000 retail shareholders and needed a way to communicate with them effectively. Houston-based Tellurian is trying to line up financial backers to build a $15.5 billion liquefied natural gas export terminal in Louisiana.
