中国石化新闻网讯 据《世界能源新闻》休斯敦报道，美国最大的液化天然气（LNG）生产商钱尼尔能源公司2月24日上调了其调整后的全年收益预期，预计随着COVID-19疫苗接种促进经济复苏，全球对这种清洁燃料的需求将增加。 去年，为遏制疫情而实施的封锁措施大幅降低了能源需求，并降低了天然气价格。但随着亚洲(尤其是中国)的经济复苏，这种燃烧清洁的燃料销售也开始回升。 钱尼尔能源公司首席商务官Anatol Feygin在与分析师的网络直播中表示，“由于新冠病毒疫苗的分发和全球经济活动的继续加强，我们预计全球LNG需求将继续改善。”“我们认为，未来几十年，全球LNG需求还会继续增长。” 由于库存减少、冬季气候寒冷、生产中断和运输延误，亚洲LNG价格1月份飙升至创纪录高位。 钱尼尔能源公司首席执行官杰克·富斯科说，随着国际油价上涨，美国LNG货物的利润空间扩大，客户拒绝收货的情况已基本停止。福斯科说，尽管2月21日晚上停电导致科珀斯克里斯蒂LNG厂的业务中断，但美国德克萨斯州最近的寒冷天气和风暴没有造成实质性影响。该公司与州和地方官员、供应商和客户密切合作，以减轻运营影响，其位于路易斯安那州的萨宾帕斯LNG厂满足了市场需求。 钱尼尔能源公司把调整后息税折旧及摊销前收益的预估上调至41-44亿美元，此前曾预估为39-42亿美元。 钱尼尔能源公司还表示，该公司计划从2022年起向客户提供与每批LNG货物相关的温室气体排放数据。 李峻 编译自 世界能源新闻 原文如下： Cheniere Expects Rising LNG Demand with Vaccine Rollout Cheniere Energy Inc, the top U.S. liquefied natural gas producer, on Wednesday raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast, predicting higher demand for the fuel as COVID-19 vaccinations boost economic recovery. Lockdown measures implemented to curb the pandemic slashed demand for energy and hurt prices for natural gas in 2020. But with economic recovery in Asia, particularly in China, fuel sales have picked up. "We expect continued LNG demand improvements as COVID vaccines are distributed and global economic activity continues to strengthen," Chief Commercial Officer Anatol Feygin said in a webcast with analysts. "We think there are decades and decades of LNG growth ahead of us." LNG prices in Asia surged to record highs in January due to low stocks, a cold winter, production outages and shipping delays. The refusal of customers to take delivery has largely ceased with expanded margins on U.S. cargoes as gas prices internationally rose, Chief Executive Jack Fusco said. The recent frigid weather and storm in Texas resulted in no material impact, despite a power outage that took Corpus Christi operations out on Sunday night, Fusco said. The company worked closely with state and local officials, suppliers and customers to mitigate operational impacts, and its Sabine Pass, Louisiana, plant covered demand from its customers. Cheniere raised its forecast for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to between $4.1 and $4.4 billion, from its prior estimate of $3.9 and $4.2 billion. Cheniere also said it plans to provide greenhouse gas emissions data associated with each LNG cargo to customers beginning in 2022. |
