美國(guó)今年天然氣產(chǎn)需量將從去年紀(jì)錄高位下滑

據(jù)天然氣加工&液化天然氣2020年9 月9日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國(guó)能源信息署(EIA)日前在其最新一期的短期能源展望(STEO)報(bào)告中表示，由于新冠肺炎疫情導(dǎo)致的封鎖降低了經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)和能源價(jià)格，今年美國(guó)天然氣產(chǎn)量和需求量將從去年的創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄高位下滑。

EIA預(yù)計(jì)，美國(guó)今年和明年的干氣日產(chǎn)量將從去年創(chuàng)最高紀(jì)錄的922.1億立方英尺分別下降到 898.8億立方英尺和865.9億立方英尺。

EIA還預(yù)計(jì)，美國(guó)今年和明年天然氣日消費(fèi)量將從去年創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的849.7億立方英尺分別降至826.8 億立方英尺和791.4 億立方英尺。

這將是美國(guó)自2017年以來天然氣消費(fèi)量首次出現(xiàn)年度下降，也是自2006年以來天然氣需求量首次連續(xù)兩年下降。

EIA預(yù)計(jì)，今年美國(guó)LNG日出口量將達(dá)到62.7億立方英尺，2021年將達(dá)到87.3億立方英尺，均高于去年創(chuàng)下的49.8億立方英尺的最高紀(jì)錄，也高于8月份預(yù)測(cè)的今年55.4億立方英尺和明年72.8億立方英尺。

U.S. natgas output, demand to fall in 2020 from peaks due to coronavirus

U.S. natural gas production and demand will drop in 2020 from record highs last year as coronavirus lockdowns cut economic activity and energy prices, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short Term Energy Outlook (STEO).

The EIA projected dry gas production will drop to 89.88 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) in 2020 and 86.59 bcfd in 2021 from the all-time high of 92.21 bcfd in 2019.

It also projected gas consumption would fall to 82.68 bcfd in 2020 and 79.14 bcfd in 2021, from a record 84.97 bcfd in 2019.

That would be the first annual decline in consumption since 2017 and the first time demand has fallen for two consecutive years since 2006.

The agency forecast U.S. liquefied natural gas exports would reach 6.27 bcfd in 2020 and 8.73 bcfd in 2021, up from a record 4.98 bcfd in 2019. That is higher than its August forecasts of 5.54 bcfd in 2020 and 7.28 bcfd in 2021.
