Solid Energy Dividend Stocks

In today's low-yield environment investors are scrambling to make up the paltry income found in bonds and are increasingly looking to higher-yielding stocks. In some cases investors are taking on too much risk for the reward of a few extra dollars of income. However, in the case of these three stocks to follow, investors can get their desired income by investing in companies with a secure future. That's why these three stocks are some the best dividend payers in the energy sector today:

BreitBurn Energy Partners (NASDAQ: BBEP) - The oil and gas producer is structured like an MLP that most income investors have become well acquainted with these days. Hi-Crush Partners (NYSE: HCLP) - The company mines the sand that's used as a fracking proppant; in so doing, it's one of the many companies piggybacking on the shale boom. Seadrill (NYSE: SDRL) - With a dividend of just over 8.5% you'd think that Seadrill was an MLP, but it's not.The energy industry is one of the best places to look for income in this yield-starved market. These three companies are among the best dividend stocks in my opinion. All provide revenue that's secured for the next several years by contracts, which should go a long way in keeping those payouts coming.
