???? 据今日油价网站2月18日消息 美国能源信息署（EIA）周四表示，2022年美国出口的液化天然气将超过美国每年通过管道出口的天然气总量。

????在去年年底从全球能源需求暴跌和天然气价格低迷的新冠疫情复苏之后，液化天然气出口今年将保持强劲势头。

????EIA预计，2021年和明年的液化天然气平均出口量分别为85亿立方英尺/日和92亿立方英尺/日，而2021年和2022年的平均管道总出口量分别为88亿立方英尺/日和89亿立方英尺/日。EIA称，2021年第一季度和第四季度，液化天然气出口量将高于管道天然气出口量，2022年的年出口量也将高于管道天然气出口量。

????在去年春夏的大部分时间里，美国的液化天然气出口量都较低，由于全球各地需求低迷，液化天然气出口量甚至创下了26个月来的最低水平。当全球对天然气的需求因新冠疫情而大幅下降时，买家开始取消美国液化天然气的货物装载，因为从欧洲到亚洲储存的天然气在经历了一个温和的冬季之后非常充裕，加之冠状病毒摧毁了许多先前预期的需求。

????U.S. LNG Exports Set To Exceed Pipeline Gas Exports Next Year

????Exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) out of the United States are set to exceed America’s gross natural gas exports via pipeline on an annual basis in 2022, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Thursday.

????LNG exports are set to remain strong this year, after recovering at the end of last year from the pandemic-inflicted slump in global energy demand and depressed gas prices.

????EIA expects LNG exports to average 8.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2021 and 9.2 Bcf/d next year, compared with expectations of average gross pipeline exports of 8.8 Bcf/d in 2021 and 8.9 Bcf/d in 2022. LNG exports are set to be higher than natural gas exports by pipeline in the first and fourth quarters of 2021 and on an annual basis in 2022, the EIA said.

????For most of the spring and summer of last year, American LNG exports were low, and they even hit their lowest volume in 26 months during the summer due to depressed demand with lockdowns all over the world. When demand for natural gas across the world plunged due to the pandemic, buyers began to cancel cargo loadings of U.S. LNG, as gas in storage from Europe to Asia was abundant after a milder winter and the coronavirus that wiped out a lot of previously expected demand.
