據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)12月3日消息稱，今年，美國成為世界上最大的液化天然氣(LNG)出口國，向歐洲和亞洲急需能源的買家提供的天然氣數(shù)量激增。今年，五家開發(fā)商簽署了20多份長期協(xié)議，向歐洲和亞洲急需能源的買家提供超過3000萬噸/年的液化天然氣。正如能源分析機(jī)構(gòu)RBN energy所指出的，第一波液化天然氣出口擴(kuò)張基本上進(jìn)展順利，這要?dú)w功于美國48個(gè)州天然氣供應(yīng)的快速增長，以及一系列管道建設(shè)市場的逆轉(zhuǎn)和擴(kuò)張，使低成本的馬塞勒斯-尤蒂卡天然氣供應(yīng)能夠抵達(dá)墨西哥灣沿岸市場。但隨著液化天然氣需求已經(jīng)很高，并將以瘋狂的速度增長，最大的問題是美國能以多快的速度提高產(chǎn)量，以滿足未來的需求?
美國多家天然氣生產(chǎn)商簽署的長期承購協(xié)議并不缺乏。
今年6月，德國公用事業(yè)公司EnBW宣布與總部位于美國的出口商Venture Global簽署了一份為期20年的大量液化天然氣供應(yīng)協(xié)議。同月，雪佛龍公司與Venture Global和Tellurian Inc.簽署了年產(chǎn)400萬噸的液化天然氣承購協(xié)議。Tellurian公司與大宗商品貿(mào)易商維多集團(tuán)簽署了液化天然氣買賣協(xié)議（SPA）。7月，Cheniere Energy與泰國國有能源公司PTT簽署了承購協(xié)議。去年9月，澳大利亞能源巨頭伍德賽德能源集團(tuán)最終敲定了從美國聯(lián)邦液化天然氣供應(yīng)的承購協(xié)議。

U.S. LNG Is Booming, But Who Supplies The Gas?
This year, the United States became the world's biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter as deliveries to energy-starved buyers in Europe and Asia surged. In the current year, five developers have signed over 20 long-term deals to supply more than 30 million metric tons/year of LNG to energy-starved buyers in Europe and Asia. As energy analysts RBN Energy notes, the first wave of LNG export expansion has mostly gone smoothly thanks to fast-rising natural gas supplies in the Lower 48 and a slew of pipeline reversals and expansions that allowed low-cost Marcellus-Utica gas supplies to reach Gulf Coast markets. But with LNG demand already high and set to grow at a frenetic pace, the big question becomes how quickly can the United States ramp up production to meet future demand?
There’s been no shortage of long-term offtake deals signed by multiple U.S. gas producers.
In June, German utility EnBW announced that it had signed a 20-year deal for a substantial supply of LNG from U.S.-based exporter Venture Global. In the same month,Chevron Inc. (NYSE: CVX) signed a 4mtpa LNG offtake deal with Venture Global and Tellurian Inc. (NYSE: TELL) signed an LNG sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with commodity trader Vitol. In July, Cheniere Energy (NYSE: LNG) signed an offtake deal with Thailand's state-owned energy company PTT. Finally, in September, Australian energy giant Woodside Energy Group Ltd finalized offtake agreements for U.S. supply from Commonwealth LNG.
