中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社伦敦12月19日消息，美国液化天然气（LNG）出口产能在2019年接近翻番，这将推动超冷燃料对美国天然气市场的影响，在经历了数年的沉寂后，美国天然气市场在2018年大幅波动。 自2016年美国开始增加出口以来，液化天然气出口一直是美国天然气需求增长最快的来源，并且随着几个出口终端投入服务，预计未来几年液化天然气交付量将扩大。 美国天然气期货市场也感受到了它的影响，由于需求以及低库存和美国天气异常寒冷，11月美国天然气期货市场经历了9年来最长时间的的极端波动。 目前，液化天然气仅占国内天然气总需求的一小部分。但分析人士表示，随着该国开放更多出口终端以满足海外日益增长的需求，预计价格还会有更多起伏。 Con Edison Energy的批发能源服务总经理Tom DiCapua表示：“随着液化天然气出口量的增加，未来的天然气价格将会上涨。”该公司是一家能源管理服务供应商，其中包括为几家公司拥有的发电厂购买天然气。 美国路易斯安那州Henry Hub基准价格在11月触及每百万英热单位4.929美元，达到四年半以来的最高价。这也远高于2013-17财年的3.25美元/ 百万英热单位的五年平均水平。 曹海斌 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Rising LNG demand to exert more pull on U.S. natural gas prices U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity is on the brink of doubling in 2019, which will boost the super-cooled fuel’s influence on the U.S. natural gas market, where volatility surged in 2018 after several years of slumber. LNG exports have been the fastest growing source of U.S. natural gas demand since the country started ramping up exports in 2016, and is expected to expand deliveries in coming years as several more export terminals enter service. Its imprint is being felt in the U.S. gas futures market, which in November experienced its longest stretch of extreme volatility in nine years due to demand, low inventories and unseasonably cold U.S. weather. LNG currently accounts for just a small amount of overall domestic gas demand. But as the country opens more facilities for export to meet growing needs abroad, analysts said more ups and downs in prices are expected. “As LNG exports increase, so will future gas prices,” said Tom DiCapua, managing director of wholesale energy services at Con Edison Energy, a provider of energy management services, including the purchase of gas, for power plants owned by several companies. Prices at the U.S. Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana hit $4.929 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) in November - their highest in four-and-a-half years. That was also well above the five-year average from 2013-17 of $3.25/mmBtu.
