據(jù)天然氣加工新聞網(wǎng)2022年4月18日報道，美國最大的液化天然氣出口商切尼爾能源公司4月18日表示，美國天然氣價格飆升反映了過去投資不足導(dǎo)致的“需求沖擊”，由于歐洲尋求減少對天然氣的依賴，高氣價將刺激更多天然氣生產(chǎn)，令消費者受益。 

4月14日，美國主要中心的天然氣交易價格達(dá)到7.30美元/百萬英熱單位，今年以來已上漲96%，達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的13年高點。 這一價格使得消耗大量天然氣的公司呼吁限制新建液化天然氣工廠。  

切尼爾能源公司執(zhí)行副總裁阿納托爾· 費金在該公司的薩賓帕斯液化天然氣出口終端接受采訪時表示：“在經(jīng)歷了相對較長一段時間的投資不足之后，我們現(xiàn)在正在經(jīng)歷對行業(yè)的需求沖擊?！?/p>

費金補充稱：“我們認(rèn)為資源就在那里，我們具有吸引資源并將其引入正確市場的能力，最終將導(dǎo)致國內(nèi)天然氣價格更具吸引力?！?nbsp;

費金表示，其現(xiàn)有的路易斯安那州和得克薩斯州的LNG年總產(chǎn)能可達(dá)到4500萬噸，有充足的未使用空間，可以用于未來的擴建。

錢尼爾能源公司表示，由于軍事沖突，買家紛紛避開生產(chǎn)大國天然氣，歐洲對液化天然氣的需求激增，但這并未改變錢尼爾能源公司對亞洲市場的關(guān)注。  

費金說：“我們認(rèn)為，最終推動能源需求、天然氣和液化天然氣增長的將是亞洲。這些20年以上的長期購買天然氣協(xié)議大多是與亞洲買家簽訂的?！?nbsp;

Cheniere Energy exec says surging U.S. natgas prices will spur production

Cheniere Energy said surging U.S. natural gas prices reflect past underinvestment followed by "a demand shock" as Europe seeks to wean itself from the big produce country’s gas, and that high prices will spur more production that will benefit consumers. 

Gas traded at the main U.S. hub hit $7.30 per million British thermal units (MMBtus) on Thursday, up 96% this year to a 13-year high on record demand. Those prices has companies that consume lots of natural gas calling for curbs on new LNG plants.

"What we are going through now is a demand shock to the industry that came after a relatively long period of underinvestment," Executive Vice President Anatol Feygin said in an interview at Cheniere's Sabine Pass LNG export terminal.

"We think the resource is there and our ability to attract that resource and bring it into the right markets will ultimately result in a more attractive domestic gas price," he added.

Feygin said its existing Louisiana and Texas operations, which together can supply up to 45 MMtpy, have ample unused space that could allow for future expansions.

The spike in LNG demand from Europe, has not changed Cheniere's focus on its Asia markets, he said.

"Ultimately the driver of growth for energy demand, for natural gas and LNG, we think is going to continue to be Asia. The plurality of those long-term, 20 plus year agreements have been with Asian counterparties,” Feygin said.
