去年俄罗斯天然气产量同比猛增7.9%

    中国石化新闻网讯 据OGJ网站1月2日莫斯科报道，在欧洲销量不断增加以及国内需求不断上升的驱动下，俄罗斯去年天然气产量升至有史以来的最高水平。

    俄罗斯政府有关部门周二在莫斯科公布的最新统计数据显示，俄罗斯去年的天然气产量同比猛增了7.9%，打破了2011年创下的最高纪录。随着包括进军中国和新液化天然气厂计划的管道项目的建成投产，俄罗斯可能会缩小与美国的差距。9年前，美国超越俄罗斯成为这种燃料全球生产的榜首。

    俄罗斯总统普京上个月曾表示，被认为是全球领先能源大国的俄罗斯需要加强其在全球天然气市场上的地位。已经是世界上最大天然气出口国的俄罗斯时下正在努力借助从波罗的海伸展到太平洋沿岸的新LNG厂提高产量，这将使俄罗斯再次成为全球这种超冷燃料的最大生产国之一。全球LNG生产大国还包括卡塔尔和澳大利亚。

    Russia natural gas output jumps to record in expansion drive

    Russia’s natural gas production rose to its highest ever last year, driven by increasing sales to Europe and rising domestic demand.

    Government data published Tuesday showed that output jumped 7.9% to beat a 2011 record. With a pipeline of projects including plans to expand into China and new liquefied natural gas plants, the country may close the gap on the U.S., which leapfrogged Russia to the top spot in global production of the fuel nine years ago.

    Russia needs to strengthen its position in the global gas market as it’s considered a leading global energy power, President Vladimir Putin said last month. Already the world’s largest exporter of the fuel, the nation is working to boost output with new LNG plants stretching from the Baltic region to the Pacific coast. That will pit the country against the biggest producers of the super-chilled fuel, including Qatar and Australia.
