据管道&天然气杂志网2月14日休斯敦报道，据Refinitiv称，上周末，对美国液化天然气出口工厂的供应量接近创纪录水平，因为船只首次停靠在所有7个出口终端进行装载。
上周五，全球风投公司（Venture Global）获得了联邦能源监管机构的许可，可以在其位于路易斯安那州Calcasieu Pass出口工厂的第一艘调试船上装载液化天然气。根据Refinitiv的数据，Yiannis油轮很可能是第一艘从该设施装载货物的船只。
上周六，向液化天然气厂供应的原料气达到132亿立方英尺/天，这是自1月20日钱尼尔能源公司的液化天然气生产线全部6条液化天然气生产线达到133亿立方英尺/天的历史高点以来的最高水平。路易斯安那州的萨宾帕斯几乎满负荷运转。
最近几周，由于可能切断对欧洲其他地区的天然气供应，公用事业公司争抢货物，对欧洲的液化天然气出口创下历史新高。
在过去的6个月里，萨宾的第6条生产线(760亿立方英尺/天)在11月左右开始生产超冷燃料，全球风投Calcasieu的第1条生产线(1.8亿立方英尺/天)在1月份开始生产LNG后，美国LNG出口能力增加了约0.9亿立方英尺/天，达到124亿立方英尺/天。
根据Refinitiv和国际天然气联盟（International Gas Union）的数据显示，按产能计算，这使美国成为世界上最大的液化天然气出口国，超过澳大利亚和卡塔尔，并有望在2022年成为最大的液化天然气出口国。
这一增长很可能会持续下去，因为今年可能会有几个拟议的美国液化天然气项目获得财务批准，包括路易斯安那州的全球风投和Tellurian Inc（TELL.A）工厂，以及得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂的一个钱尼尔项目。
根据专注于能源的投资银行Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.的分析师表示，随着6号生产线已投入使用，美国LNG产能接近充分利用，钱尼尔可能会在今年晚些时候增加产能。

Feed to U.S. LNG Plants Soars as 7th Terminal Loads First Cargo
Supplies to U.S. liquefied natural gas export plants reached near record levels over the weekend as vessels docked for loading at all seven export terminals for the first time, according to Refinitiv.
Venture Global received permission on Friday from federal energy regulators to load LNG on the first commissioning vessel at its Calcasieu Pass export plant in Louisiana. The Yiannis tanker will likely be the first vessel to pick up a cargo from the facility, according to data from Refinitiv.
On Saturday, feed gas to the LNG plants reached 13.2 Bcf/d, the highest since hitting an all-time high of 13.3 Bcf/d on Jan. 20 when all six liquefaction trains at Cheniere Energy's LNG. A Sabine Pass in Louisiana were operating near full capacity.
This comes as LNG exports to Europe have been at record highs in recent weeks as utilities scramble for cargoes, which could cut off gas supplies to the rest of Europe.
Over the past six months, U.S. LNG export capacity has increased about 0.9 Bcf/d to 12.4 Bcf/d after the sixth train (76,000 MMcf/d) at Sabine started producing the super-chilled fuel around November and the first trains (0.18 Bcf/d) at Venture Global Calcasieu started producing LNG in January.
That makes the United States the biggest LNG exporter in the world by capacity, topping Australia and Qatar, and puts the country on track to become the biggest exporter by volume in 2022, according to data from Refinitiv and the International Gas Union.
That growth will likely continue with several proposed U.S. LNG projects likely to get financial approval this year including Venture Global and Tellurian Inc (TELL.A) plants, both in Louisiana, and a Cheniere project in Corpus Christi, Texas.
With Train 6 now in service and U.S. LNG production capacity nearing full utilization, Cheniere could look to increase production capacity later this year, according to analysts at the energy-focused boutique investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.
