　　中国石化新闻网讯 据能源之声网站10月5日报道 由于对供应的担忧加剧，欧洲能源价格飙升至创纪录水平，英国天然气期货价格首次突破300便士/撒姆的门槛。

　　全球燃料短缺正在扰乱全球天然气市场，因为经济体正在摆脱新冠疫情。

　　不断飙升的成本正威胁着通胀，并开始对工业生产构成压力，欧洲一些公司被迫减产。随着冬季的临近，人们对欧洲天然气储存水平的担忧日益加剧，这有助于推高价格。

　　交易商Energi Danmark周二表示：“由于担心冬季供应减少，市场的紧张情绪仍在持续。”

　　据国际文传电讯社报道，俄罗斯周二表示，随着化石燃料开采投资的减少，欧洲能源市场将出现有些混乱。

　　欧洲的天然气库存处于十多年来的最低季节水平，国内生产落后于需求，而来自最畅销的俄罗斯的供应有限，全球液化天然气竞争继续加剧。

　　根据价格报告机构标准普尔的数据，北亚液化天然气现货价格也延续了涨势，周二达到创纪录的39.67美元/百万英热单位，原因是产量受到限制，终端用户在天气变冷之前努力储备。

　　UK natural gas reaches highest ever price

　　European energy prices soared to fresh records amid worsening fears over supply, with UK natural gas futures exceeding the threshold of 300 pence a therm for the first time ever.

　　Global fuel shortages are disrupting natural gas markets from the UK, as economies emerge from the pandemic.

　　Surging costs are threatening to raise inflation and starting to weigh on industrial production, with some companies in Europe forced to cut output. Concerns over gas storage levels in Europe are building as winter approaches, helping drive prices ever higher.

　　“The fiercely nervous sentiment on the market continues due to fears of reduced supply during the winter,” trader Energi Danmark said Tuesday.

　　Russia said on Tuesday there’s “hysteria and some confusion” on European energy markets amid reduced investments into fossil-fuel extraction, according to Interfax news agency.

　　Europe’s gas stockpiles are at their lowest seasonal level in more than a decade, with domestic production lagging behind demand, while supplies from top seller Russia are limited and global competition for liquefied natural gas continues to intensify.

　　North Asia spot LNG prices also extended their rally, reaching a record $39.67 per million British thermal units on Tuesday, according to price reporting agency , amid output constraints and efforts by end-users to stockpile ahead of colder weather.
