现在是投资天然气行业的好时机

未来几年， 世界天然气需求增长很快， 尤其是中国，印度等亚洲市场， 中国煤改气市场前景巨大，天然气 年需求量以近20%的速度增长。 美国天然气产量上升， 出口量也大量快速增长， 下文说2022年美国天然气一半 将会出口。中国开始大量进口美国天然气。

US on course to become world’s largest exporter of natural gas: IEA

• The U.S. is challenging Qatar and Australia as leading exporter of natural gas.
• The industrial sector will replace power companies as the biggest natural gas customer.
• Three new LNG terminals are being built on Texas coastline.

Global gas demand is expected to grow by 1.6 percent a year for the next five years, with consumption on track to hit almost 4,000 billion cubic meters by 2022. China is projected to account for almost 40 percent of growth.

"The U.S. shale revolution shows no sign of running out of steam and its effects are now amplified by a second revolution of rising LNG supplies," IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement Thursday.

 

"Also, the rising number of LNG consuming countries, from 15 in 2005 to 39 this year, shows that LNG attracts many new customers, especially in the emerging world," Birol added.

The U.S. is already the world's largest producer of natural gas. The IEA estimated that by 2022 the country's production will be 890 bcm, more than a fifth of global gas output.

The IEA said the United States will challenge Qatar and Australia as the highest exporter by 2022 with more than half of the natural gas produced to be converted to liquefied natural gas for export.

In a bid to increase export demand, three major LNG terminals under construction on the Texan coast will double the number of U.S. ports currently in use.

Industry driving demand

Future demand will be driven by the industrial sector, according to the IEA, as its traditional use in power generation is trimmed by a growing mix of renewables and coal.

The report added that increased liquefaction capacity is coming into a market already well supplied, and the glut is driving down prices to interest new countries such as Pakistan, Thailand and Jordan.

But it warned that disruption to traditional routes of energy supply was a likely outcome of cheaper, export LNG, and highlighted the current diplomatic standoff involving Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

"Even in a well-supplied market, recent events remind us that gas security remains a critical issue," Birol said

• 液化气出口不是那么容易的，建厂需要时间和投资。最乐观估计18年上半年增加0.75bcf lng出口，下半年再增加0.75。再看产 -ca_lowhand- ♂ (0 bytes) () 12/30/2017 postreply 16:50:15
