美国以创纪录的速度出口液化天然气

据油价网2月15日消息称，随着欧洲天然气价格飙升和地缘政治紧张局势加剧，美国这些天以创纪录的速度出口液化天然气。

据彭博社报道，周六，美国7个液化天然气出口设施的每一艘液化天然气船都在装货或停靠，导致创纪录的133亿立方英尺的天然气流向美国液化天然气出口终端。

据彭博社报道，这是所有七个液化天然气出口终端首次出现油轮同时装载或停靠装载天然气的情况。

此外，彭博社的估计显示，超过三分之二的液化天然气货物从美国运往欧洲。

创纪录的美国液化天然气出口受到欧洲高昂的天然气价格以及俄罗斯和乌克兰之间以及西方和俄罗斯在乌克兰问题上日益紧张的刺激。

美国液化天然气出口正飙升至创纪录水平，随着更多出口产能上线，预计将继续飙升。美国能源信息署12月表示，随着越来越多的美国液化天然气出口项目投入使用，到2022年底，美国7个液化天然气出口设施和44条液化生产线的名义产能将增至114亿立方英尺/天，峰值产能将增至139亿立方英尺/天。这将超过世界另外两个主要液化天然气出口国卡塔尔和澳大利亚各自的产能。

U.S. Exports LNG At A Record Pace

The U.S. is exporting liquefied natural gas at a record pace these days, as gas prices and geopolitical tensions in Europe rise amid the energy crisis .

LNG tankers were loading or being docked at each of the seven LNG export facilities in the United States on Saturday, leading to a record 13.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas flows to U.S. LNG export terminals, Bloomberg reports.

This is the first time that all seven LNG export terminals have seen tankers loading or docked for loading gas at the same time, according to Bloomberg.

In addition, more than two-thirds of all LNG cargoes traveling out of the United States are headed to Europe, Bloomberg’s estimates show.

The record U.S. LNG exports are incentivized by high natural gas prices in Europe and the growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and the West and Russia over Ukraine.

U.S. LNG exports are soaring to record levels and are expected to continue to surge as more export capacity comes online. Thanks to a growing number of U.S. LNG export projects coming into service, by the end of 2022, U.S. nominal capacity will increase to 11.4 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) and peak capacity to 13.9 Bcf/d across 7 LNG export facilities and 44 liquefaction trains, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in December. That will be more than the respective capacities of Qatar and Australia, the other two major LNG exporters in the world.
