新兴市场促使全球LNG市场供应趋紧

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯10月9日消息，Energy Intelligence公司天然气研究经理伊恩?内森表示：“尽管中国一直处于全球液化天然气（LNG）需求市场的最前沿，但新的LNG进口国继续代表着一个重要的需求集团。” 内森周二在伦敦举行的年度石油与货币会议上表示：“这些蓬勃发展的LNG市场包括埃及、巴基斯坦、新加坡、马来西亚、波兰和挪威。”他补充称，这些新兴LNG进口国的需求增长帮助“恢复了对天然气和LNG市场持久性的信心”，并预计明年全球LNG市场将进一步收紧。不过，内森警告称：“一些国家的经济重点转移到煤炭和核电计划上，可能会削弱对天然气需求的支持。”

DJ Emerging Markets Driving Tightening LNG Market

While China has been at the forefront of demand for liquefied natural gas, new LNG importers "continue to represent a significant demand bloc," said Ian Nathan, manager for natural gas research at Energy Intelligence. These burgeoning LNG markets include Egypt, Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia, Poland and Norway, Mr. Nathan says at the start of the annual Oil & Money conference in London Tuesday. This demand growth has helped "revive confidence in gas and LNG market durability," he adds, predicting greater market tightening next year. However, Mr. Nathan warned that "economic priorities in some countries could undermine support for gas demand," potentially shifting the focus back to coal and nuclear plans.
