EIA:美国去年满足欧洲超四分之一的LNG需求

据管道新闻网2月22日消息称，美国能源情报署(EIA)周二表示，美国去年成为欧洲最大的液化天然气来源。

美国今年超过澳大利亚和卡塔尔，成为世界上产能最大的液化天然气出口国，原因是美国开发了新的液化天然气加工厂，并从页岩储层中获得了丰富的天然气。

EIA称，去年欧盟成员国和英国进口的液化天然气中，26%来自美国，24%来自卡塔尔，20%来自俄罗斯。

根据EIA的数据，2022年1月，向欧盟成员国和英国出口的液化天然气从2021年11月的34亿立方英尺/天增长了91%，达到65亿立方英尺/天，是迄今为止从美国运往欧洲的液化天然气最多的月份。

切尼尔能源公司是美国最大的液化天然气出口商。

欧洲对美国液化天然气的需求源于欧洲天然气供应短缺，原因是产量下降和管道流入减少。随着需求的激增，美国生产的天然气与欧洲交易中心的天然气之间的价差已经扩大。

近几个月来，荷兰天然气交易中心的天然气现货价格创下了历史新高。根据EIA的数据，从2021年9月到2022年2月的第一周，现货价格平均为28.52美元/百万英热单位(MMBtu)。

US Met More Than Quarter of European LNG Demand Last Year – EIA

The United States last year became Europe's largest source of LNG, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Tuesday.

The United States this year became the world's largest LNG exporter by capacity, exceeding Australia and Qatar, because of its development of new LNG processing plants and ample natural gas from shale reservoirs.

Of LNG imported by European Union member countries and the United Kingdom last year, 26% came from the United States, 24% from Qatar and 20% from Russia, the EIA said.

Exports of LNG to European Union member countries and the U.K. jumped 91% to 6.5 Bcf/d in January 2022 from 3.4 Bcf/d in November 2021, the most LNG shipped to Europe from the United States on a monthly basis to date, according to the EIA.

Cheniere Energy is the largest U.S. exporter of LNG.

Europe's demand for U.S. LNG stems from gas supply shortages in Europe due to lower production and reduced pipeline inflows. The price difference between natural gas produced in the United States and prices at European trading hubs has widened as demand jumped.

In recent months, the natural gas spot price at the exchange hub in the Netherlands has traded at all-time highs. Spot prices averaged $28.52 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) from September 2021 through the first week of February 2022, according to the EIA.
