中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源咨詢網休斯敦4月5日消息,受供應過剩的影響,周四美國乙烯現貨價格創下15美分-15.25美分/磅(FD美國墨西哥灣)的歷史新低。 這個價格創下自標準普爾全球普氏能源咨詢公司2004年7月開始評價美國墨西哥灣乙烯現貨市場以來的最低價格。 前一個最低價格是在2008年12月4日創下的,當時的價格為15.375美分/磅。 受北美頁巖氣繁榮的刺激,2019年前美國乙烯產能將增加逾35%。 在過去的一年中,美國新增了逾350萬噸/年的乙烯產能,包括西方化學公司和墨西哥化學公司的合資公司Ingleside、陶氏杜邦公司和雪佛龍菲利浦斯化學公司開啟了位于得克薩斯州的新建裂解裝置。 另外今年美國將有400萬噸/年的新建乙烯產能計劃投產,而且2019年及以后將有更多的新增乙烯產能投產。 據標準普爾全球普氏分析公司的估計,未來十年北美乙烯產量預計將從2017年時的大約3370萬噸增加至2026年時的近4865萬噸。 唐紹紅 摘譯自 PLATTS 原文如下: US spot ethylene at record low of 15-15.25 cents/lb on glut US spot ethylene hit a record low Thursday, assessed at 15-15.25 cents/lb FD USG, amid a glut in supply. The assessment is the lowest since S&P Global Platts began assessing spot ethylene markets in the US Gulf Coast in July 2004. The previous all-time low assessment was 15.375 cents/lb on December 4, 2008. Fueled by the shale gas boom in North America, the US ethylene market stands to see a more than 35% increase in production capacity by 2019. More than 3.5 million mt/year of new capacity has been added in the last 12 months, with players including Ingleside — a joint venture between Occidental Chemicals and Mexichem — DowDupont, and Chevron Phillips Chemical starting new crackers in Texas. Another 4 million mt/year of new ethylene capacity is slated to come online this year, with more expansions slated for 2019 and beyond. North America’s ethylene production during the next decade is expected to climb from approximately 33.7 million mt in 2017 to nearly 48.65 million mt in 2026, according to estimates from S&P Global Platts Analytics.
