中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网5月24日报道,美国能源信息署(EIA)周三表示,到2050年,美国液化天然气出口的增加将提高该国国内天然气价格。
在《2023年年度能源展望》的补充中,EIA研究了三种不同液化天然气出口水平的情况下对亨利枢纽中心天然气价格的影响。

EIA表示,在国际价格较低的情况下,2050年,美国可能每天出口153亿立方英尺的液化天然气,预计亨利枢纽中心的价格为每百万英热单位3.3美元。
相反,在国际价格上涨和出口设施发展加快的情况下,EIA预计2050年液化天然气出口量为482亿桶/天,亨利枢纽中心价格为4.30美元。
周三,美国天然气期货NGc1的交易价格约为每百万英热单位2.40美元,而分析师预测,2023年路易斯安那州亨利枢纽中心基准均价为3.23美元,为2020年以来的最低水平,2024年将升至3.71美元。
该机构预测,到本世纪30年代初,无论是通过管道还是液化天然气,天然气出口总量都将成为美国天然气需求的最大组成部分。
EIA称,美国液化天然气出口设施目前的运营能力为114亿立方英尺/天,另有73亿立方英尺/天的产能正在建设中,另有183亿立方英尺/天的产能已批准,但正在等待最终的投资决定。
其补充道,2022年上半年,美国成为世界上最大的液化天然气出口国,日均出口量近112亿立方英尺,占干天然气产量的12%。

Higher LNG Exports to Drive Up US Natural Gas Prices, EIA Projects
Increasing exports of U.S. LNG through 2050 will raise domestic prices for natural gas, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday.
In a supplement to its Annual Energy Outlook 2023, the EIA studied the impact on natural gas prices at the Henry Hub in three scenarios with varying levels of LNG exports.
The EIA said in the case of lower international prices, the U.S. may export 15.3 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of LNG in 2050, projecting Henry Hub prices at $3.30 per million British thermal units (MMBtu).
In the opposite case of higher international prices together with faster development of export facilities, the EIA saw 48.2 bcfd of LNG exports and Henry Hub prices at $4.30 in 2050.
U.S. natural gas futures NGc1 were trading about $2.40 per MMBtu on Wednesday, while analysts forecast prices at the Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana averaging $3.23 in 2023, their lowest since 2020, before rising to $3.71 in 2024.
The agency forecast that overall gas exports, both by pipeline or as LNG, will become the largest component of U.S. natural gas demand by the early 2030s.
U.S. LNG exports facilities currently have an operating capacity of 11.4 bcfd, with an additional 7.3 bcfd under construction and another 18.3 bcfd capacity approved but awaiting a final investment decision, the EIA said.
The U.S. became the world"s largest LNG exporter in the first half of 2022, averaging nearly 11.2 bcfd of exports that made up 12% of dry natural gas production, it added.
