全球LNG价格随现货供应泛滥而下跌

据天然气加工新闻网11月29日伦敦路透社报道，由于需求疲软，随着新的供货报价持续涌入市场，亚洲液化天然气(LNG)现货价格本周下滑。

一月份交付东北亚 的LNG均价估计为每百万英热单位约5.60美元，比上周每百万英热单位下跌0.10美元。

市场消息人士称，由于天然气库存高，亚洲和欧洲的采购活动都受到限制。 但是供货报价充足。

一位液化天然气贸易商表示，这是一个缓慢的过程。 “目前，我认为价格不会在12月份开始上涨的原因。”

澳大利亚的两个项目正在销售货物。澳大利亚太平洋液化天然气（APLNG）每月提供一批货物，以便在2020年装载。

Ichthys液化天然气工厂已提供今年12到明年4月之间的五批货物。

消息人士称，澳大利亚生产商伍德赛德能源公司（Woodside Energy）正在出售来自Pluto LNG12月下旬的一批货物。

在减产一个多月后，另一个澳大利亚项目Gorgon有望在周五结束其计划中的生产线维护。

消息人士称，尼日利亚液化天然气结束了12月两批货物的竞标，而俄罗斯的诺瓦泰克可能已向现货市场提供了多达四批货物。

在需求方面，韩国能源部宣布该国将在今年12月至明年2月之间闲置多达四分之一的燃煤发电厂，这并没有阻止价格下跌。

一位业内消息人士称，目前，因为韩国天然气公司(Kogas)今年秋天早些时候购买了十几批用于冬季的货物，关闭的影响预计将是有限的。不过，未来的冬季采购将取决于天气。

来自墨西哥的一些需求，墨西哥的国家电力公司CFE正在寻找1月和2月交付的五批货物。

市场消息人士称，印度古吉拉特邦石油公司(GSPC)正在寻求12月下旬的货物，而信实工业已购买了1月上半月交付的货物。

巴基斯坦液化天然气宣布，商品贸易商Gunvor提交了1月份交付的五分之四货物的最低出价。剩余的货物将由DXT商品提供。

一位LNG贸易商称，在欧洲，完成了12月底至2月初的几笔交易，价格比荷兰天然气基准价格每百万英热单位低0.40美元。
