Abstract
The current study contributes to the current debate on the energy-growth literature spillovers between crude prices, oil prices, and natural gas liquid composite prices. To this end, the recent novel Diebold and Yilmaz (2012) spillover index is utilized for daily realized data from January 2009 to October 31, 2019. The Diebold and Yilmaz index is employed given its uniqueness to highlight the following directional spillovers, total spillovers, pairwise spillover, and net spillover for the outlined variables. Further empirical investigation to accounts for both secular and cyclical properties is examined within the sampled framework. The study empirical results show a total spillover effect of 13.80% such that the contribution of shock from others is highest for liquefied natural gas (NGLC) price (43.2). The contribution of shocks to Brent price (7.5) and WTI price (3.0) was also received from others. Interestingly, the Brent price is observed to contribute the highest shock to others (41.4) considering the global adoption of the Brent crude oil as against the WTI which also contributes a shock of 12.9 to others. Based on these findings, several policy prescriptions were presented in the concluding section.

Notes
- 1.
Shale gas refers to natural gas that is trapped within shale formations. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has allowed access to large volumes of shale gas that were previously uneconomical to produce, and it has rejuvenated the natural gas industry, especially in the USA. It offers liquefaction developers a competitive advantage due to its competitive prices. Thanks to cheaper unconventional gas, the US gas prices have become more competitive resulting in significant LNG exports and liquefaction capacity hikes.

Energy reserves are estimated quantities of energy sources that analysis of geologic and engineering data demonstrates with reasonable certainty are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions.
