中国2月LNG进口量从1月历史最高纪录下降

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社3月23日北京报道，由于中国上个月迎来了其传统的春节黄金周，随着来自工业用户的需求增长放缓，中国2月份液化天然气（LNG）进口量从1月份创下的历史最高纪录下降。

周五来自中国海关总署的统计数据显示，世界第二大经济体2月份购买了399万吨LNG，同比增加了69%，但比1月份创下的历史最高纪录518万吨大幅减少了119万吨。

不过，中国今年前两个月LNG进口量达到了915万吨，同比增加了58%。

随着中国冬季取暖季节在3月中旬结束，更温暖的天气将继续抑制中国的LNG进口。

China Feb LNG imports eased on slower industrial demand growth, New Year holiday

China's liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports fell in February from a record high in January, with growth in demand from industrial users easing as the country enjoyed its traditional week-long Lunar New Year holiday last month.

The world's number 2 economy brought in 3.99 million tonnes of LNG in February, up 69 percent from a year ago, but well down from the previous month's 5.18 million tonnes, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Friday.

Still, for the first two months for the year, LNG arrivals climbed 58 percent from the same period a year earlier to 9.15 million tonnes.

Warmer weather will continue to dampen LNG imports, with China's winter heating season having come to a close in mid-March.
