据油价网7月30日消息：据英国《金融时报》报道，由于天然气供应趋紧、欧洲产量下降以及俄罗斯出口减少，整个欧洲和亚洲的天然气价格都在上涨，并指出供应紧张可能在未来几周加剧。
报告指出，在欧洲，天然气价格首次达到40欧元/兆瓦时，英国天然气价格达到16年来的最高水平。这相当于每百万英热单位14美元。在亚洲，天然气价格已达到每百万英热15美元。
分析师表示，价格形势可能会进一步恶化。
ICIS的Tom Marzec-Manser告诉英国《金融时报》：“令人惊讶的是，市场没有出现更多担忧。就额外供应而言，全球范围内没有太多选择。俄罗斯确实是唯一可自由支配的供应来源，但我们不知道何时会开始额外的供应。因此，从日本到巴西，世界各地的交易员也开始关注欧洲的价格。”
全球天然气需求强劲反弹。经济复苏并不是唯一的因素。例如，据英国《金融时报》报道，在巴西，液化天然气进口量创历史新高，因为干旱降低了该国的水电产能。在欧洲，漫长的冬季使得储气设施空空如也，而且还没有得到补充。在亚洲，强劲的经济复苏加上夏季的季节性需求高峰进一步推高了价格。
对一些人来说，这是个好消息：美国液化天然气出口在今年上半年创下历史新高，平均每天96亿立方英尺。EIA估计，2021年1月至5月，亚洲仍是美国液化天然气出口的最大目的地，占美国液化天然气出口总量的46%。紧随其后的是欧洲，占美国液化天然气出口的37%。

Natural Gas Deficit Causes Prices To Soar
Natural gas prices are rising across Europe and Asia due to tighter supply of the commodity, lower production in Europe, and lower exports from Russia, the Financial Times reports, noting the supply crunch may intensify in the coming weeks.
In Europe, the report notes, prices for natural gas have hit 40 euros per mWh for the first time ever, with UK gas prices at the highest in 16 years. This is equal to approximately $14 per million British thermal units. In Asia, gas prices have hit $15 per mmBtu.
The price situation may worsen still, according to analysts.
“If anything it’s surprising there hasn’t been more concern,” Tom Marzec-Manser at ICIS told the FT. “In terms of additional supply there aren’t many options on the table globally. Russia is really the only discretionary source of supplies out there but we don’t know when additional deliveries might start. So traders around the world, from Japan to Brazil, are starting to watch European prices too.”
Demand for natural gas has been on a strong rebound globally. And the economic recovery has not been the only factor. In Brazil, for instance, LNG imports hit the highest ever because droughts have reduced the country’s hydropower capacity, according to the FT. in Europe, the long winter emptied gas storage facilities, and they have yet to be replenished. In Asia, the strong economic recovery has coupled with a seasonal peak in demand during the summer to push prices higher still.
For some, this has been good news: U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas reached a record high during the first half of the year, at an average of 9.6 billion cu ft daily. Asia remained the top destination for U.S. LNG exports from January through May in 2021, accounting for 46 percent, the EIA has estimated. Asia was followed by Europe with a 37-percent share of American LNG exports.
