???? 據(jù)天然氣加工 2021年3月26日休斯敦報(bào)道,美國(guó)天然氣生產(chǎn)商越來(lái)越依賴向歐洲和亞洲出口液化天然氣(LNG),以吸收其日益增長(zhǎng)的天然氣產(chǎn)量,并防止國(guó)內(nèi)天然氣價(jià)格因供應(yīng)過(guò)剩而暴跌。
????根據(jù)美國(guó)能源信息署(EIA)公布的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù),2015年至2020年,美國(guó)天然氣產(chǎn)量(平均每年4.3%)的增幅約為消費(fèi)量(2.3%)的增幅的兩倍。
????部分過(guò)剩的天然氣被用來(lái)替代以前的進(jìn)口天然氣,其余的則通過(guò)管道或以LNG形式出口到美洲、歐洲、中東和亞洲市場(chǎng)。
????美國(guó)的LNG年出口量已從2015年的不足10億立方米激增至2020年的近670億立方米,并迅速趕上對(duì)加拿大和墨西哥的管道天然氣出口量。
????去年,美國(guó)LNG出口占國(guó)內(nèi)天然氣總產(chǎn)量的7%以上,到年底這一比例首次達(dá)到了10%。
????美國(guó)LNG出口市場(chǎng)增長(zhǎng)最快的是歐洲和亞洲市場(chǎng),而美洲和中東市場(chǎng)增長(zhǎng)較小。
????在2016年到2020年之間,美國(guó)對(duì)亞洲的LNG年出口量增加了220億立方米,而對(duì)歐洲的LNG年出口量增加了200億立方米。
????在國(guó)際市場(chǎng)上,美國(guó)天然氣與來(lái)自卡塔爾、澳大利亞和俄羅斯的LNG競(jìng)爭(zhēng);從俄羅斯和中亞到歐洲和東亞的管道天然氣;以及用于發(fā)電和取暖的煤和其它燃料。
????因此,確保進(jìn)入出口市場(chǎng)已成為美國(guó)天然氣行業(yè)和美國(guó)外交官的首要任務(wù)。
????美國(guó)LNG出口有助于其他國(guó)家和地區(qū)的能源安全,同時(shí)在美國(guó)可以提供更多就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。

????U.S. gas industry increasingly relies on LNG exports
????U.S. gas producers have become increasingly reliant on LNG exports to Europe and Asia to absorb their growing output and prevent domestic prices from plunging as a result of oversupply.
????Between 2015 and 2020, U.S. gas production grew roughly twice as fast (4.3% per year on average) as consumption (2.3% per year), according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
????Some of the excess has been used to replace previous imports, but the rest has been exported by pipeline or as LNG, to markets in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
????LNG exports surged to almost 67 billion cubic metres in 2020, up from less than 1 billion cubic metres in 2015, and were rapidly catching up with pipeline exports to Canada and Mexico.
????Outbound LNG shipments accounted for more than 7% of all domestic gas production last year, and by the end of the year the proportion had reached 10% for the first time.
????The fastest growth for U.S. LNG has been to markets in Europe and Asia, with smaller increases to the Americas and the Middle East.
????Between 2016 and 2020, annual exports to Asia increased by 22 billion cubic metres, while shipments to Europe rose by 20 billion cubic metres.
????In international markets, U.S. gas competes with LNG from Qatar, Australia and Russia; pipeline gas from Russia and Central Asia to Europe and East Asia; and coal and other fuels used for power generation and heating.
????As a result, securing access to export markets has become a top priority for the gas industry as well as U.S. diplomats.
????LNG exports contribute to energy security in allied countries while providing employment in the United States.
