石油设备网讯 据石油和天然气5月14日华盛顿报道,国际天然气联盟(IGU) 5月13日在巴塞罗那发布2019年天然气批发价格调查报告时表示,美国Henry hub定价的液化天然气出口持续增长,加上现货液化天然气运输量普遍上升,导致2018年全球液化天然气进口总额同比增幅创下历史新高。
报告称,2018年全球液化天然气进口达到4160亿立方米(bcm),占全球天然气总消费量3.39万亿立方米的11%。IGU表示,与2017年的920亿美元和2016年的620亿美元相比,今年的年增长率分别接近40%和103.2%。报告指出,这主要是受美国Henry Hub出口持续增长和液化天然气现货进口总体增长的推动。
调查显示,2018年全球液化天然气进口总量中,现货液化天然气占比略高于30%,达到1260亿立方米,比2017年的920亿立方米高出近40%,比2016年的700亿立方米高出80%。
在2018年,天然气竞 争占到欧洲的液化天然气进口量的50%以上,而2017年为33%,而中国和印度次大陆的天然气竞争从24%上升到30.5%。它指出,亚太地区的进口商(主要是日本,韩国)从18%到24%。
美国液化天然气(LNG)月度出口在1月份达到近1260亿立方英尺的峰值,2月份回落至近1029亿立方英尺。EIA的数据显示,自2014年初以来,夏季的成交量看上去最为强劲,但直到2016年才开始显著增长。2016年1月,成交量为26万立方米,2月升至2019万立方米,3月升至43553万立方米。

IGU: Global LNG imports rose 40% in 2018 vs. 2017
Continued growth in US Henry Hub-priced LNG exports and a general rise in spot LNG cargoes led to the highest year-to-year increase ever in total global LNG imports during 2018, the International Gas Union (IGU) said as it released its 2019 Wholesale Gas Price Survey on May 13 in Barcelona.
Worldwide LNG imports in 2018 reached 416 billion cu m (bcm), or 11% of the 3,390 bcm of total worldwide gas consumption, it reported. The year-to-year growth was nearly 40% from 2017’s 92 bcm and 103.2% from 2016’s 62 bcm, IGU said. It was driven mainly by the continued rise in US Henry Hub exports and general growth in spot LNG imports, it noted.
Spot LNG cargoes were slightly more than a 30% share of global LNG import volumes in 2018, totaling 126 bcm, which was nearly 40% more than 2017’s 92 bcm and 80% above 2016’s 70 bcm, the survey said.
Gas-on-gas competition accounted for more than 50% of LNG imports into Europe in 2018 compared with 33% in 2017, while the gas-on-gas competition in the China and Indian subcontinent rose from 24% to 30.5% and for the Asia Pacific importers (mainly Japan, South Korea) from 18% to 24%, it indicated.
Monthly US LNG exports peaked at nearly 126 bcf in January before retreating to almost 102.9 bcf in February, the most recent month listed at the US Energy Information Administration’s web site. Volumes looked strongest in the summertime since the beginning of 2014 but did not start to grow markedly until 2016 when they jumped from 26 MMcf in January to 2,019 MMcf in February and 43,553 MMcf in March, EIA’s figures show.
