中国石化新闻网讯 据1月8日offshore energy消息：美国液化天然气出口在12月创下新记录，平均每天98亿立方英尺。出口降幅是夏季的三倍多。 近几个月来，有几个因素促成这一结果，其中包括亚洲主要市场冬季寒冷导致液化天然气需求增加。此外，由于澳大利亚、马来西亚、卡塔尔、挪威、尼日利亚和特立尼达和多巴哥的液化天然气出口设施意外中断，液化天然气供应减少。这导致亚洲和欧洲天然气价格上涨，吸引了更多来自美国的灵活液化天然气供应。 从2020年4月到7月，亚洲和欧洲的天然气和液化天然气价格已降至历史低点。但在8月开始回升，到12月已经比夏季的低水平翻了两番多。全球价格上涨和定期合同出口减少导致灵活的液化天然气出口量增加，特别是来自美国的液化天然气。根据美国能源部液化天然气报告和环境影响评估数据，自2020年6月以来，美国50%以上的液化天然气出口流向亚洲国家，约30%流向欧洲国家，其余出口流向中东、非洲和拉丁美洲国家。 美国能源信息署(EIA)预计，今年冬天美国LNG出口量将保持历史最高水平。在2020年12月的《短期能源展望》中，EIA预测，2021年第一季度美国液化天然气出口量平均为95亿立方英尺/天，今年的年出口量为85亿立方英尺/天，比2020年增长30%。 冯娟 摘译自 offshore energy 原文如下： U.S. LNG exports set a record in December U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas set a new record in December, averaging 9.8 billion cubic feet per day. The results in December were more than three times higher than the reduced export levels of last summer. Citing Bloomberg Finance’s shipping data, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that a new record was set, after a record-breaking November 2020. Several factors have contributed to such results in recent months, including increased LNG demand due to colder winter in key Asian markets. Also, supplies of LNG decreased because of unplanned outages at LNG export facilities in Australia, Malaysia, Qatar, Norway, Nigeria, and Trinidad and Tobago. This led to higher prices in Asia and Europe, attracting higher volumes of flexible LNG supplies from the United States. From April to July 2020, natural gas and LNG prices in Asia and Europe have declined to all-time lows. Prices began to recover in August, and by December, prices have more than quadrupled compared to the low levels of the summer. Higher global prices and reduced exports under term contracts resulted in higher export volumes of flexible LNG, especially from the United States. Since June 2020, more than 50 per cent of U.S. LNG exports went to countries in Asia, about 30 per cent to countries in Europe, and the remaining volumes to countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s LNG Reports and EIA’s data for November 2020. EIA expects U.S. LNG exports to remain at record-high levels this winter. In the December 2020 Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA forecasts that U.S. LNG exports will average 9.5 Bcf/d in the first quarter of 2021 and 8.5 Bcf/d on an annual basis this year, a 30% increase from 2020. |
