據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)站5月19日消息 美國3月增加了液化天然氣出口，歐洲國家仍然是最大客戶。

根據(jù)能源部的報告，3月美國液化天然氣項目共出口2441億立方英尺液化天然氣。

能源部表示，這一數(shù)字比2020年2月增長8.2%，美國2月共出口2256億立方英尺液化天然氣，與2019年3月相比增加了86.7%。

美國液化天然氣的出口量在歐洲國家有所下降，不過，韓國在3月份已經(jīng)占據(jù)了進(jìn)口量的首位。

3月韓國共進(jìn)口273億立方英尺液化天然氣，其次是西班牙、法國和英國，進(jìn)口量分別為251、236和204億立方英尺。此外，日本也躋身前五，3月共進(jìn)口189億立方英尺液化天然氣。

就液化天然氣貨物而言，美國液化天然氣項目3月份共出口75批貨物，2020年2月和2019年3月分別為68和38批。

錢尼爾的Sabine Pass設(shè)施再次運(yùn)送了大部分貨物，共30批。卡梅倫液化天然氣項目和自由港液化天然氣項目各運(yùn)送了13批貨物，其中錢尼爾的科珀斯克里斯蒂工廠又運(yùn)送了12批貨物。Dominion位于馬里蘭州的Cove Point工廠出口了7批貨物，而厄爾巴島液化和出口項目在3月份沒有裝運(yùn)任何貨物。

能源部補(bǔ)充稱，3月份液化天然氣出口均價達(dá)到4.66美元/每百萬英熱單位，低于2月份的4.85美元/每百萬英熱單位。

United States bump LNG exports in March

The United States increased the liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in March with European countries remaining the top customers.

According to a report by the Department of Energy, U.S. LNG projects exported a total of 244.1 Billion cubic feet of LNG in March.

As a result, this is an 8.2 per cent increase over February 2020 figures. To remind, the U.S. exported a total of 225.6 Bcf of LNG in February. Comparing to March 2019, this is an 86.7 per cent jump, DoE said.

As noted, a large portion of U.S. LNG export volumes landed in European countries, although, South Korea has taken over the top importer spot during the month of March.

South Korea imported a total of 27.3 Bcf. It is followed by Spain, France and the United Kingdom with, 25.1 Bcf, 23.6 Bcf and 20.4 Bcf of LNG, respectively. Additionally, Japan rounded off the top five list of U.S. LNG importers, with 18.9 Bcf of LNG imported during the month under review.

Speaking of LNG cargoes, United States LNG projects exported a total of 75 cargoes in March. This compares to 68 cargoes in February 2020 and 38 cargoes in March 2019.

Cheniere’s Sabine Pass facility again shipped the majority of cargoes, a total of 30. Cameron LNG and Freeport LNG projects shipped 13 cargoes each with Cheniere’s Corpus Christi facility adding another 12 cargoes to the total. Dominion’s Cove Point plant in Maryland exported seven cargoes while the Elba Island liquefaction and export project hasn’t shipped any cargoes in March.

The Department of Energy added that the average price of LNG exported in March reached $4.66 per mmBtu. This is a drop from $4.85 per mmBtu during February.
