据管道&天然气杂志网8月15日报道,根据周一的官方数据显示,随着天然气供应中断,欧洲的天然气价格和需求飙升,挪威7月天然气出口创下1284亿克朗(约合132.6亿美元)的历史新高。
挪威统计局表示,天然气收入是去年7月的四倍,而天然气销售量增长了5.7%,达到102亿立方米。
2月底,冲突爆发,随后欧洲进口天然气减少,导致欧洲天然气价格飙升。
挪威统计局在一份声明中表示,向欧洲输送天然气的管道的维护和运力下降,导致7月份天然气价格升至创纪录水平。其补充道,高油价是出口价值异常高的主要原因。
西欧最大的石油和天然气供应国挪威已经调整了天然气产量,以出售更多天然气用于出口,而不是将天然气重新注入地下以开采更多的石油。
挪威气候部长Espen Barth Eide在出口数据公布前接受路透采访时表示,欧洲仍在继续(其能源部门)脱碳,但他们首先想摆脱的是天然气瓶颈。
这意味着短期内欧洲对挪威天然气的需求会增加,但长期来看需求会减少,因为欧洲需要赶上减排目标。
据挪威统计局称,7月份天然气出口收入较3月份创下的纪录高出14.3%,挪威石油出口额较去年同期增长52.1%,至487亿克朗。
此外,挪威7月份通过国际电缆向英国和德国等国家出口了价值48亿克朗的电力。
出口需求和挪威水电站蓄能量处于历史低位,已将国内电价推至历史高位,引发限制出口的呼声。
挪威石油和能源部长特尔杰·阿斯兰表示,政府将在今年秋季提出一项关于强制性的水库蓄水和电力出口水平的建议。

Norway's July Natural Gas Exports Hit Record High as Demand, Prices Soar
Norwegian natural gas exports hit a record high of 128.4 billion crowns ($13.26 billion) in July as prices and demand in Europe surged amid disruption of Russian supplies, official data showed on Monday.
Natural gas revenues were four times higher than for July last year, while the volume of gas sold rose by 5.7% to 10.2 billion cubic meters, Norway's statistics office said.
European gas prices spiked following the war at the end of February and a subsequent drop in Europe's imports of gas.
"Maintenance and lower capacity on the 1 pipeline, which transports gas to Europe, has contributed to pushing gas prices up to a record level in July," Norway's statistics office said in a statement.
"High gas prices are the main reason for the exceptionally high export value," it added.
Norway, western Europe's largest oil and gas supplier, has adjusted its gas production to sell more gas for exports, instead of re-injecting it back into the ground to pump more oil.
"Europe continues to decarbonize (its energy sector), but the first thing that they want to get rid of is gas," Norway's Climate Minister Espen Barth Eide told Reuters in an interview prior to the release of the export data.
The war , meant there will be more demand for Norwegian gas in Europe in the short run, but there will be less demand in the long run as Europe will need to catch up with its emission reduction targets.
July gas export revenues exceeded the previous record, set in March, by 14.3%, the statistics office said, adding that the value of Norwegian oil exports also rose 52.1% from a year ago to 48.7 billion crowns.
In addition, Norway in July exported 4.8 billion crowns worth of electricity via international cables, including to Britain and Germany.
Demand for exports and historically low levels of Norwegian hydropower plant reservoirs have pushed domestic power prices to record highs, prompting calls to restrict exports.
Norwegian Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland said the government would come up with a proposal on the mandatory level of reservoir filling and power exports in the autumn.
