中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)2023年4月21日?qǐng)?bào)道，路透社報(bào)道說，由于需求疲軟，本月全球液化天然氣庫存量增加，并指出全球液化天然氣需求將在今年夏季復(fù)蘇。
路透社的報(bào)道還指出，根據(jù)大宗商品數(shù)據(jù)提供商Kpler公布的數(shù)據(jù)，截至4月20日，全球浮式儲(chǔ)存的液化天然氣量為55萬噸，幾乎是去年同期的兩倍。
液化天然氣庫存增加的主要原因是亞洲主要液化天然氣進(jìn)口國(guó)的需求下降。
Kpler分析師對(duì)路透社表示，目前全球范圍內(nèi)的浮式液化天然氣交易量有所增加，而這一增長(zhǎng)來自亞洲…… 反映出主要消費(fèi)國(guó)日本和韓國(guó)對(duì)液化天然氣的需求不溫不火。
亞洲大型石化巨頭全球液化天然氣及新能源業(yè)務(wù)人士Yaoyu Zhang表示，液化天然氣需求將取決于現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格。
與此同時(shí)，日本正在尋求長(zhǎng)期液化天然氣供應(yīng)，作為確保長(zhǎng)期供應(yīng)的努力的一部分，日本最大的大宗商品交易商之一的三井物產(chǎn)最近收購(gòu)了得克薩斯州的天然氣生產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)，可以使用位于墨西哥灣沿岸的液化天然氣設(shè)施。
據(jù)《天然氣世界》網(wǎng)站最近報(bào)道，在韓國(guó)，對(duì)啟用核電的重新考慮正在威脅著對(duì)液化天然氣的長(zhǎng)期需求。韓國(guó)將一半的液化天然氣供應(yīng)用于發(fā)電。
能源經(jīng)濟(jì)與金融分析研究所（IEEFA）在最近的一份報(bào)告中指出，在暖冬和價(jià)格高企的背景下，今年第一季度亞洲對(duì)液化天然氣的需求繼續(xù)下降。值得注意的是，IEEFA指出，即使價(jià)格明顯下跌，亞洲對(duì)液化天然氣的需求仍然疲軟。

Global LNG Inventories Rise On Weak Demand
Global inventories of liquefied natural gas have increased this month driven by weaker demand, Reuters has reported, noting demand is about to recover in the summer.
At 550,000 ton as of April 20, per Kpler data, LNG in floating storage around the world is almost twice as much as it was this time last year, the report also noted.
The increase in inventories is driven chiefly by lower demand from the three biggest LNG importers in the world:Japan, and South Korea.
"There are currently more floating volumes on a global level and the increase is coming out of Asia... Reflecting tepid demand from major consumers Japan, and South Korea," a Kpler analyst told Reuters.
According to Yaoyu Zhang, general manager of global LNG and new energies at the state major of the Asian Petrochemical giant, LNG demand would depend on spot prices.
Japan, meanwhile, is looking for long-term supply and as part of efforts to secure that, Mitsui, one of the largest commodity traders in the country, recently bought gas-producing assets in Texas with access to LNG facilities on the Gulf Coast.
In South Korea, a reconsideration of nuclear energy is threatening long-term demand for LNG, Natural Gas World reported recently. South Korea uses half of its LNG supply for power generation.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis noted in a recent report Asian demand for LNG has continued declining during the first quarter of the year on the back of a mild winter and high prices. Notably, even when prices fell palpably, demand remained weak, the IEEFA noted.
