APPEA表示限制LNG出口不会降低天然气价格

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气9月3日报道称，代表澳大利亚石油和天然气勘探和生产行业的国家机构 APPEA表示，联邦工党关于永久控制澳大利亚液化天然气出口的建议不会降低长期国内天然气价格。

APPEA在周一的一份声明中表示，更多的监管和政治不确定性有可能阻碍对新天然气供应的投资，随着时间的推移，这意味着需要更高的价格。

“与制造商一样，天然气生产商在艰难的全球市场中竞争，并了解保持竞争力的压力。然而，试图调节价 格并不能解决实际问题 - 维多利亚州和新南威尔士州生产天然气的成本上升以及当地供应紧张。”APPEA 首席执行官罗伯茨在声明中表示。

APPEA says restricting LNG exports will not lower gas prices

The Federal Labor Party’s proposal for permanent controls on Australia’s LNG exports will not lower long-term domestic gas prices, according to APPEA, the national body representing Australia’s oil and gas exploration and production industry.

APPEA said in a statement on Monday that more regulation and political uncertainty risks deterring investment in new gas supply which, over time, will mean higher prices.

“Like manufacturers, gas producers compete in a tough global market and understand the pressures to stay competitive. However, trying to regulate prices does not tackle the real problems – the rising cost of producing gas and tightening local supply in Victoria and New South Wales,”APPEA Chief Executive Malcolm Roberts said in the statement.
