中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网12月12日里约热内卢/新加坡报道,据贸易消息人士称,亚洲液化天然气(LNG)现货价格本周上涨至2018年9月以来的最高水平,由于供暖需求旺盛、供应紧张和运费上涨。 据消息人士称,1月交付至东北亚的液化天然气平均价格约为每百万英国热量单位11.10美元,较前一周上涨3.00美元。2月份交货的价格估计约为每百万英国热量单位10.50美元。 来自Refinitiv Eikon的天气数据显示,未来两周,北京、东京和首尔的气温预计将低于平均水平,这将增加取暖的天然气需求。 据消息人士称,随着经济复苏,中国进口的增加,以及运输能力的缺乏,也有推高了价格。 伦敦一名贸易商表示:“中国的液化天然气进口在11月触及一年来高点,并将进一步增加,从而推高需求。” 据消息人士称,巴基斯坦液化天然气公司(Pakistan LNG)最近招标购买6批1月现货,但只满足了一半的需求,这表明供应情况有多紧张。 全球四大天然气出口国中的两个,澳大利亚和马来西亚的生产问题,以及巴拿马运河的延误(美国通过该运河运送部分液化天然气),都加剧了供应的紧张。 据贸易商称,随着美国天然气产量创下新高,预计明年1月下半月天然气价格将企稳。目前美国天然气价格低于3美元,这使出口有利可图。 自6月份以来,亚洲LNG价格已上涨逾5倍,当时由于新冠疫情导致需求下降,导致亚洲LNG价格跌破2.00美元/百万英热。 郝芬 译自 能源世界网 原文如下: Asian LNG prices rise to over two-year high driven by heating demand Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) rose this week to the highest since Sept. 2018 due to high demand for heating, a supply crunch and increasing freight rates, trade sources said. The average LNG price for January delivery into northeast Asia was estimated at around $11.10 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), up $3.00 from the previous week, the sources said. Prices for February delivery were estimated at around $10.50 per mmBtu. Temperatures in Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul are expected to be lower than average over the next two weeks, weather data from Refinitiv Eikon showed, increasing gas demand for heating. The rise in imports in China, as the economy recovers, and the lack of shipping availability is also helping to push prices up, the sources said. "LNG imports by China hit a one-year high in November and are set to increase further, raising demand" a London-based trader said. A recent tender by Pakistan LNG to buy six spot cargoes for January only garnered interest for half of the requirements, showing how tight the supply situation is, sources said. Production issues in Australia and Malaysia, two of the top four largest exporters, and delays in the Panama Canal, through which U.S. ships part of its liquefied gas, are adding to tighter supply. Prices are expected to stabilize in the second half of January with record volumes coming from the U.S, where natural gas prices are below $3, making exports profitable, traders said. LNG prices in Asia have increased by more than a five-fold since June, when lower demand due to the coronavirus pandemic drove them below $2.00/mmBtu. |
