欧洲仍是美国液化天然气的最大市场

据油价网2月16日消息称，欧洲已连续三个月成为美国液化天然气的最大市场。据路透社报道，Refinitiv的数据显示，在2021年12月和2022年1月之后，大部分美国液化天然气也将在本月继续流入欧洲。

根据Refinitiv的数据，自2月初以来，美国至少有50%的液化天然气已运往欧洲，总量为356万吨。数据显示，这与美国12月中旬进入欧洲的液化天然气进口量相当。

由于来自欧洲和亚洲的强劲需求，美国液化天然气出口总量正以创纪录的速度增长。根据彭博社本周早些时候的报道，该国所有7个出口码头都在装载或停靠液化天然气油轮，每天流入液化生产线的天然气流量达到创纪录的133亿立方英尺。

报告估计，美国多达三分之二的液化天然气计划运往欧洲。

Kpler分析师Reid l 'Anson对路透表示:“由于美国在其中扮演了关键角色，欧洲的液化天然气进口量仍然非常强劲。”他补充称，2月份美国向欧洲进口的液化天然气总量可能接近1月份的创纪录水平。

美国液化天然气出口正飙升至创纪录水平，随着更多出口产能上线，预计将继续飙升。

Europe Remains Biggest Market For U.S. LNG

Europe has remained the biggest market for U.S. liquefied natural gas for three months in a row. According to Reuters, Refinitiv data suggests that most U.S. LNG will continue flowing into Europe this month as well, after December and January.

According to the Refinitiv data, at least 50 percent of American liquefied natural gas since the start of February has been shipped to Europe, with the total at 3.56 million tons. This, the data shows, is similar to the mid-month level of U.S. LNG imports into Europe in December.

Total U.S. LNG exports are running at record rates thanks to strong demand not just from Europe but from Asia, too. According to a Bloomberg report from earlier this week, LNG tankers were being loaded or docked at all seven export terminals in the country, with flows of natural gas into liquefaction trains at a record high of 13.3 billion cu ft daily.

The report included estimates that as much as two-thirds of U.S. liquefied natural gas was scheduled to be delivered to Europe.

“Volumes into Europe remain extremely strong with the U.S. playing a key role,” Kpler analyst Reid l’Anson told Reuters, adding that the February total may near January record-breaking amounts of U.S. LNG imported into Europe.

U.S. LNG exports are soaring to record levels and are expected to continue to surge as more export capacity comes online.
