美国液化天然气出口仍处于低位

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网8月7日消息 在截至8月14日的一周内，美国液化天然气出口增加，但由于Covid-19流感大流行继续打压全球价格和需求，出口量仍维持在较低水平。

    美国能源信息署（EIA）在其天然气月报中表示，在8月6日至8月12日的一周内，美国5个液化天然气终端共发运了8批液化天然气货物。

    总运载量达290亿立方英尺。

    相比之下，前一周共5艘液化天然气船，总运载量为180亿立方英尺。

    桑普拉投建的卡梅伦液化天然气设施在本周内运送了三批货物，Dominion的Cove Point设施在本周内运送了两批货物。

    切尼尔的Sabine Pass和Corpus Christi以及自由港终端分别装运了一批货物。

    EIA数据显示，这周美国液化天然气出口工厂的天然气交付量从前一周的38亿立方英尺/天增加到44亿立方英尺/天。

    此外，亨利中心现货价格从上周三的2.18美元/每百万英热单位跌至本周三的2.06美元/每百万英热单位。

    EIA本周早些时候表示，由于价格低廉以及对需求的影响，预计美国液化天然气出口在未来两个月内将保持在较低水平。

    EIA估计，买家在6月份取消了46批美国液化天然气货物，7月份取消了约50批货物。

    受影响最大的液化天然气终端是路易斯安那州的Sabine Pass和德克萨斯州的Corpus Christi以及自由港液化天然气终端，7月份产能利用率分别为33%、28%和6%。

    US weekly LNG exports still low

    US LNG exports increased in the week ending August 12 but they still remain at low levels as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to weigh on global prices and demand.

    The Energy Information Agency agency said in its weekly gas natural gas report that five US terminals dispatched eight LNG cargoes during the week August 6-August 12.

    The total capacity of the LNG vessels carrying these cargoes is 29 billion cubic feet.

    This compares to five LNG ships with a combined capacity of 18 billion cubic feet the week before.

    The Sempra-led Cameron LNG facility shipped three cargoes while the Dominion Cove Point facility dispatched two shipments in the week under review.

    Cheniere’s terminals Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi, and the Freeport facility shipped one cargo, each.

    Natural gas deliveries to US LNG export plants increased to 4.4 billion cubic feet during the week under review from the 3.8 Bcf/d recorded the week before, EIA data shows.

    Furthermore, the Henry Hub spot price dropped from $2.18 per million British thermal units last Wednesday to $2.06/MMBtu recorded this Wednesday.

    EIA said earlier this week the agency expects US LNG exports to remain at low levels during the next two months due to low prices and the Covid effects on demand.

    The agency estimates that buyers cancelled 46 US LNG cargoes in June and about 50 cargoes in July.

    The most affected LNG terminals were Sabine Pass in Louisiana and Corpus Christi and Freeport in Texas, where the utilization of liquefaction capacity in July averaged 33%, 28%, and 6%, respectively, it said.
