石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據今日油價12月24日報道，2018年11月，中國液化天然氣(LNG)進口量較去年同期增長48.5%，原因是中國部分地區從煤炭轉向天然氣取暖。 據路透社報道，中國海關總署的數據顯示，中國上個月的液化天然氣進口量達到599萬噸，打破了2018年1月之前供暖季節518萬噸的紀錄。 海關數據顯示，今年前11個月，中國LNG進口量同比增長43.6%，達到4752萬噸，輕松打破2017年全年3813萬噸的進口紀錄。 這個冬季，中國決心避免再一次嚴重的天然氣供應短缺。與過去冬季相比，他們處理供應的方式要好得多——國內天然氣產量正在上升，國家正在推進天然氣管道基礎設施和連通性，考慮到需求預期，煤制氣轉換更為慎重和溫和。 中國天然氣進口正在飆升，但為應對今年冬天的需求，中國提前開始采購，以避免最后一刻的搶購潮，以及2017-2018年冬季的重演。 今年，天氣也對中國政府有利。從供暖季節開始到12月中旬的一個月前，天氣較為溫和，這導致人們預計，中國在12月至2月期間不會再出現供應短缺。 過去一周，亞洲2月份的液化天然氣價格較前一周略有上漲，這是因為越來越多的LNG船舶可供使用，加之亞洲部分地區冬季氣溫略有下降，運費降低。據接受路透社采訪的交易員表示，亞洲整體需求依然低迷，價格上漲將是短暫的。如果亞洲的天氣轉冷至少3周，則亞洲LNG的價格將會持續上漲。 孔麗煒 摘譯自今日油價 原文如下： China’s LNG Imports Jump To Record High In November Chinese liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports soared by 48.5 percent in November 2018, compared to the same month last year, as China continues to have parts of the country switch to natural gas from coal for heating. China’s LNG imports last month reached 5.99 million tons, beating the previous record of 5.18 million tons from January 2018 in the previous heating season, according to data from China’s General Administration of Customs, as carried by Reuters. LNG imports into China in the first eleven months of this year jumped by 43.6 percent compared to January-November 2017, to 47.52 million tons and on course to easily beat the full-year LNG import record of 38.13 million tons from 2017, according to the customs data. This winter season, Chinese authorities are determined to avoid another severe natural gas supply shortage. And they are handling supplies much better than past winter—domestic natural gas production is rising, state energy giants are boosting gas pipeline infrastructure and connectivity, and the coal-to-gas switch is more measured and moderate, taking into account expectations of demand. Chinese natural gas imports are soaring, but procurement for this winter’s demand started early to avoid a last-minute rush and a repeat of the 2017-2018 winter. This year, weather is also in favor of Chinese authorities. Milder weather a month into the heating season through mid-December has led to expectations that China won’t see another supply crunch between December and February. Over the past week, LNG prices for February delivery in Asia rose slightly compared to the previous week, due to lower shipping rates as more LNG ships have become available and thanks to a slight drop in winter temperatures in some parts of Asia. According to traders who spoke to Reuters, Asian demand as a whole remains subdued, and price rises would be short-lived. A sustainable increase in Asian LNG prices would come if the weather in Asia turns cold for at least three weeks. ?
