2020年代中期全球LNG市場將現(xiàn)供應(yīng)短缺
中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)道瓊斯3月9日消息，BMI研究公司警告稱，液化天然氣（LNG）需求的快速增長，可能會讓全球LNG市場在本世紀20年代中期陷入供應(yīng)短缺的困境，因為缺乏對新產(chǎn)能的投資阻礙了近年來的供應(yīng)激增。BMI研究公司預計，今年全球LNG市場將出現(xiàn)輕微的供應(yīng)過剩，2019年供應(yīng)過剩程度將大幅增加，2022年全球LNG供應(yīng)過剩的情況將達到頂峰，然后供應(yīng)將開始趨緊。盡管在北美、撒哈拉以南非洲、俄羅斯、卡塔爾和巴布亞新幾內(nèi)亞都有大量的計劃中的LNG項目，可以填補預期的供應(yīng)缺口，但BMI表示，很多項目將難以在當前的市場條件下做出最終投資決定。

LNG Supply Crunch Looms in Mid-2020s
Rapid growth in demand for liquefied natural gas threatens to tip the global market into a deficit in the mid-2020s as a lack of investment in new production capacity chokes off supply that has surged in recent years, BMI Research warns. The market is set for a small surplus this year that will grow significantly in 2019 before peaking in 2022 and then tightening, it forecasts. And while there is a big pipeline of LNG projects in North America, sub-Saharan Africa, Russia, Qatar and Papua New Guinea that could plug the expected supply gap, BMI says many will struggle to make it to a final investment decision in the current market conditions.
