去年全球LNG出口量达到3.62亿吨

中国石化新闻网讯 据海事新闻2月26日消息称，根据Flex LNG的数据，在2019年第四季度，现货LNG运费继续上涨，M EGI/X-DF液化天然气运输船的平均报告整体运价上涨66%，从每天7.48万美元增至每天12.38万美元

Flex LNG表示，由于北亚地区为冬季做准备的需求增加，以及持续的浮动储存，天然气运价稳步上涨。

然而，由于亚洲和欧洲之间的天然气价格差较低，以及欧洲在再气化和储存方面的基础设施容量更大，交易模式和液化天然气价格继续有利于欧洲作为增加未承诺液化天然气量的主要目的地。

据业内人士透露，2019年全年全球液化天然气出口量达到3.62亿吨，同比增长约11%。

事实证明，2019年液化天然气最终投资决定（FID）达创纪录的一年的预测是正确的，在2019年批准了每年约7100万吨液化天然气，因为年底前尼日利亚液化天然气7号生产线达成了FID，总产能为770万吨/年。

然而，全球液化产能的急剧增加尚未结束，因为几个大型新建和待重新开发的项目也有望在2020年和2021年获得FID。

据报道，2019年第四季度交付了4艘液化天然气运输船，使全年交付数量达到38艘液化天然气运输船和3艘浮式储存和再气化装置

据报道，在2019年第四季度，有14个液化天然气船的新订单。截至本季度末，全球LNG运输量超过12.5万立方米的现役船舶有510艘(不包括FSRU)。

Global LNG Exports Reach 362MT in 2019

During the fourth quarter of 2019, spot LNG freight rates continued to strengthen with average reported headline rates for MEGI/X-DF LNG carriers increasing by 66% from $74,800 per day to $123,800 per day, according to Flex LNG.

Rates increased steadily due to higher demand preparing for winter in Northern Asia, as well as continued floating storage, Flex LNG said.

Trading patterns and LNG pricing however, continue to favor Europe as the main destination for incremental uncommitted LNG volumes due to the low spread in gas prices between Asia and Europe, as well as greater infrastructure capacity in Europe for regasification and storage.

According to industry sources, global LNG exports reached 362 million tonnes for the full year of 2019, which represents year on year growth of approximately 11%.

The forecast of a record year for LNG Final Investment Decision (FIDs) in 2019 proved to be true with approximately 71 million metric tonne per annum (“mmtpa”) sanctioned in 2019, as FID was reached on Nigeria LNG Train 7 with a total capacity of 7.7 mmtpa before year-end.

However, the sharp increase in global liquefaction capacity is far from over yet, as several large greenfield and brownfield projects are also expected to take FID in 2020 and 2021.

Four LNG carriers were reported delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019, bringing the year count to 38 LNG carriers and three floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs).

During the fourth quarter 2019, fourteen new orders for LNG carriers were reported. By the end of the quarter, there were 510 active vessels above 125,000 cbm in the global LNG carrier fleet, excluding FSRUs.
