據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)2月14日休斯敦報(bào)道，據(jù)Refinitiv稱(chēng)，上周末，對(duì)美國(guó)液化天然氣出口工廠的供應(yīng)量接近創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄水平，因?yàn)榇皇状瓮？吭谒?個(gè)出口終端進(jìn)行裝載。
上周五，全球風(fēng)投公司（Venture Global）獲得了聯(lián)邦能源監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的許可，可以在其位于路易斯安那州Calcasieu Pass出口工廠的第一艘調(diào)試船上裝載液化天然氣。根據(jù)Refinitiv的數(shù)據(jù)，Yiannis油輪很可能是第一艘從該設(shè)施裝載貨物的船只。
上周六，向液化天然氣廠供應(yīng)的原料氣達(dá)到132億立方英尺/天，這是自1月20日錢(qián)尼爾能源公司的液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線全部6條液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線達(dá)到133億立方英尺/天的歷史高點(diǎn)以來(lái)的最高水平。路易斯安那州的薩賓帕斯幾乎滿(mǎn)負(fù)荷運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。
最近幾周，由于可能切斷對(duì)歐洲其他地區(qū)的天然氣供應(yīng)，公用事業(yè)公司爭(zhēng)搶貨物，對(duì)歐洲的液化天然氣出口創(chuàng)下歷史新高。
在過(guò)去的6個(gè)月里，薩賓的第6條生產(chǎn)線(760億立方英尺/天)在11月左右開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)超冷燃料，全球風(fēng)投Calcasieu的第1條生產(chǎn)線(1.8億立方英尺/天)在1月份開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)LNG后，美國(guó)LNG出口能力增加了約0.9億立方英尺/天，達(dá)到124億立方英尺/天。
根據(jù)Refinitiv和國(guó)際天然氣聯(lián)盟（International Gas Union）的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，按產(chǎn)能計(jì)算，這使美國(guó)成為世界上最大的液化天然氣出口國(guó)，超過(guò)澳大利亞和卡塔爾，并有望在2022年成為最大的液化天然氣出口國(guó)。
這一增長(zhǎng)很可能會(huì)持續(xù)下去，因?yàn)榻衲昕赡軙?huì)有幾個(gè)擬議的美國(guó)液化天然氣項(xiàng)目獲得財(cái)務(wù)批準(zhǔn)，包括路易斯安那州的全球風(fēng)投和Tellurian Inc（TELL.A）工廠，以及得克薩斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂的一個(gè)錢(qián)尼爾項(xiàng)目。
根據(jù)專(zhuān)注于能源的投資銀行Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.的分析師表示，隨著6號(hào)生產(chǎn)線已投入使用，美國(guó)LNG產(chǎn)能接近充分利用，錢(qián)尼爾可能會(huì)在今年晚些時(shí)候增加產(chǎn)能。

Feed to U.S. LNG Plants Soars as 7th Terminal Loads First Cargo
Supplies to U.S. liquefied natural gas export plants reached near record levels over the weekend as vessels docked for loading at all seven export terminals for the first time, according to Refinitiv.
Venture Global received permission on Friday from federal energy regulators to load LNG on the first commissioning vessel at its Calcasieu Pass export plant in Louisiana. The Yiannis tanker will likely be the first vessel to pick up a cargo from the facility, according to data from Refinitiv.
On Saturday, feed gas to the LNG plants reached 13.2 Bcf/d, the highest since hitting an all-time high of 13.3 Bcf/d on Jan. 20 when all six liquefaction trains at Cheniere Energy's LNG. A Sabine Pass in Louisiana were operating near full capacity.
This comes as LNG exports to Europe have been at record highs in recent weeks as utilities scramble for cargoes, which could cut off gas supplies to the rest of Europe.
Over the past six months, U.S. LNG export capacity has increased about 0.9 Bcf/d to 12.4 Bcf/d after the sixth train (76,000 MMcf/d) at Sabine started producing the super-chilled fuel around November and the first trains (0.18 Bcf/d) at Venture Global Calcasieu started producing LNG in January.
That makes the United States the biggest LNG exporter in the world by capacity, topping Australia and Qatar, and puts the country on track to become the biggest exporter by volume in 2022, according to data from Refinitiv and the International Gas Union.
That growth will likely continue with several proposed U.S. LNG projects likely to get financial approval this year including Venture Global and Tellurian Inc (TELL.A) plants, both in Louisiana, and a Cheniere project in Corpus Christi, Texas.
With Train 6 now in service and U.S. LNG production capacity nearing full utilization, Cheniere could look to increase production capacity later this year, according to analysts at the energy-focused boutique investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.
