美国5月液化天然气出口持续下滑

    中国石化新闻网讯 据7月16日Offshore Energy消息：尽管运输量持续下降，但美国液化天然气出口价格出现反弹。

    根据美国能源部数据，5月出口的液化天然气平均价格达到5.23美元/百万英热。相比4月的4.49美元/百万英热，略有回升。

    今年5月，美国液化天然气出口设施共装运57批货物，总计1822亿立方英尺。比4月出口量下降13.4％，货物减少5批。

    然而与2019年同期相比，销量增加25.9％。需要注意的是，美国液化天然气出口设施在2019年5月总共装运46批货物。

    Cheniere的Sabine Pass设施在5月共装运25批货物，其次是Cameron LNG设施有10批。科珀斯克里斯蒂和弗里波特液化天然气工厂分别装运了8批，而科夫角设施则装运了6批。厄尔巴岛工厂在5月没有运送任何货物。

    5月吸收美国液化天然气出口总量49.1％的前五名进口商是西班牙(293亿立方英尺)、韩国(209亿立方英尺)、中国(145亿立方英尺)、日本(137亿立方英尺)和智利(111亿立方英尺)。

    韩国仍然是美国液化天然气的最大进口国，共收到227批货物，总量为7877亿立方英尺。相当于总出口的16.1％。

    自2016年2月美国开始出口国内生产的液化天然气以来，总共有1503批货物抵达35个国家的目的地。5月底出口总量超过4.9万亿立方英尺。

    此外，同期有458批ISO集装箱货物离开美国，增加了13亿立方英尺的液化天然气，使目的地数量增加到38个。

    U.S. LNG exports’ slide continues in May

    U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports have experienced a recovery in price despite a continued drop in cargoes shipped.

    According to the data from the United States Department of Energy, the average price of LNG exported in May reached $5.23 per mmBtu. This is a jump from $4.49 per mmBtu during April.

    In May, U.S. LNG export facilities shipped a total of 57 cargoes totaling 182.2 Billion cubic feet of LNG. This is a 13.4 per cent drop from volumes exported in April 2020 and 5 fewer cargoes.

    However, when compared to the corresponding month in 2019, this is a 25.9 per cent increase in volume. To remind, U.S. LNG export facilities shipped a total od 46 cargoes in May 2019.

    Cheniere’s Sabine Pass facility shipped a total of 25 cargoes in May, followed by the Cameron LNG facility with 10 cargoes. Corpus Christi and Freeport LNG plants shipped 8 cargoes each with the Cove Point facility shipping 6 cargoes. Elba Island plant has not shipped any cargoes in May.

    The top five importers, absorbing 49.1 per cent of total U.S. LNG exports in May were Spain (29.3 Bcf), South Korea (20.9 Bcf), China (14.5 Bcf), Japan (13.7 Bcf), and Chile (11.1 Bcf).

    South Korea remains the top importer of U.S. LNG with 227 cargoes received totaling 787.7 Bcf. This corresponds to 16.1 per cent of total U.S. LNG exports.

    China has jumped the United Kingdom and is now the fifth highest U.S. LNG importer overall with 79 cargoes totaling 271.3 Bcf.

    Since the United States started exporting domestically-produced LNG in February 2016, a total of 1,503 cargoes reached destinations in 35 countries. The total volume exported stood at over 4.9 Tcf at the end of May.

    Additionally, 458 cargoes on ISO containers departed the United States during the same period adding further 1.3 Billion cubic feet of LNG also bumping the number of destinations to 38.
