中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月14日西班牙港口报道，特立尼达和多巴哥总理Keith Rowley星期二呼吁天然气出口国论坛（GECF）制定并实施天然气价格指数，以确保成员国在碳氢化合物销售中获得足够的回报。 随着越来越多的天然气供应通过LNG进口供应给消费国，生产商旨在通过鼓励他们认为公平的价格来确保出口收入。 Rowley在西班牙港举行的第20届GECF部长级会议开幕式上表示：“现在比以往任何时候都更需要这样一个全球参考价格，以保护生产者和消费者。” 英国石油公司的《世界能源统计评论》显示，受欧洲、中东、非洲和亚太地区需求增长的推动，去年天然气消耗量增长了3%，达到3.67万亿立方米。 但产量却以更高的速度增长，突显出买方市场继续阻止实行以美国亨利中心为指标的价格（即目前价格未增长到生产者可以接受的水平）。 亨利中心的价格最近已从过去四年的每百万英热单位3美元以下的水平回升到11月份的每百万英热单位4美元以上。但美国能源信息管理局上周预测，到2019年，美国天然气价格的下行压力平均为每百万英热单位2.98美元。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Producer Trinidad calls for global gas pricing index Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Keith Rowley on Tuesday called on the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) to develop and implement a gas pricing index to ensure members receive adequate returns on the sale of the hydrocarbon. As gas supplies become increasingly available for consuming countries through Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) imports, producers aim to secure revenue from exports by encouraging what they consider to be fair pricing. “Now more than ever, the need for such a global reference price is evident, in order to protect both producers and consumers alike,” Rowley said at the opening of GECF’s 20th Ministerial Meeting in Port of Spain. Natural gas consumption grew 3 percent to 3.67 trillion cubic meters last year, pushed by bigger demand in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, according to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy. But production increased at a higher rate, underlining a buyers’ market that continues stopping prices indexed to the U.S. Henry Hub from growing to levels acceptable to producers. Prices at the Henry Hub have recently recovered from levels below $3 per million British Thermal Unit (BTU) in the last four years to surpass $4 per million BTU in November. But the U.S. Energy Information Administration last week forecast downward pressure on prices to an average of $2.98 per million BTU in 2019.
