据能源网3月6日报道，Cheniere能源预计今年将向亚洲运送更多液化天然气（LNG），2022年欧洲客户占据了其货物的最大份额。
该公司首席运营官科里·格林达尔（Corey Grindal）在CERAWeek能源会议上表示，去年，这家美国最大的液化天然气出口商共运送了638批货物，其中70%多一点的运往欧洲。
据官员们称，Cheniere去年批准了其位于得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂的液化工厂的扩建，并寻求联邦监管机构对其路易斯安那州萨宾帕斯（Sabine Pass）工厂的扩建进行早期环境审查。
该公司和其他公司在美国墨西哥湾沿岸的液化天然气工厂的建设给现有的天然气运输和储存基础设施带来了压力。格林达尔表示，在包括路易斯安那州在内的一些州，有必要继续扩建基础设施。
Cheniere首席执行长福斯科(Jack Fusco)表示，该公司略高于50%的客户是欧洲公司，这确保了该公司将继续在亚洲和欧洲市场之间保持平衡。并补充道，如果包括切尼尔在内的生产商继续与客户签订长期合同，产能大国天然气重返市场的数量并不重要。切尼尔的长期客户已经从12家增加到30家。
高管们表示，欧洲正在建立长期进口液化天然气的基础设施，减少对管道天然气的依赖。
然而，美国将需要进一步开发以满足未来的需求。
Fusco称，该国需要进行许可证改革。他指的是通常会导致液化天然气产能扩建延迟和瓶颈的繁文缛节。
该公司拟议的扩建将使每年LNG产能增加3000万吨。
Cheniere正在研究联邦能源监管委员会(FERC，Federal Energy Regulatory Commission)对其竞争对手自由港液化天然气公司(Freeport LNG)的要求，以重启其在得克萨斯州遭到火灾破坏的设施。高管们表示，监测的目的是确保其设施符合FERC的所有标准。

CERAWeek 2023: Asia demand to drive Cheniere’s LNG shipments this year – Reuters
Cheniere Energy (LNG.A) expects to ship more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Asia this year, after European customers took the lion’s share of its 2022 cargoes, an official said on Monday.
The top U.S. exporter of LNG shipped a total of 638 cargoes last year, with slightly over 70% delivered to Europe, Chief Operating Officer Corey Grindal said at the CERAWeek energy conference.
Cheniere last year gave the financial go ahead for an expansion of its Corpus Christi, Texas, liquefaction plant and has sought an early environmental review with federal regulators for an expansion at its Sabine Pass, Lousiana, facility, officials said.
Construction of its and others LNG plants along the U.S. Gulf Coast is stressing existing gas transportation and storage infrastructure. In states including Louisiana, there is a need to continue to expand the infrastructure, Grindal said.
A little more than 50% of Cheniere’s customers are European firms, which ensures it will continue to have a balance between Asia and European markets, Chief Executive Jack Fusco said.
It doesn’t matter how much the largger producer's gas returns to the market, if producers including Cheniere continue signing customers to long-term contracts, Fusco added. Cheniere has expanded to 30 long-term customers from 12.
Europe is putting the infrastructure in place to import LNG for the long-term, reducing its reliance on pipeline gas, the executives said.
However, the U.S. will need additional development to meet future demand.
“A permitting reform in the country needs to happen,” said CEO Fusco, referring to red tape that often causes delays and bottlenecks to expanding LNG capacity.
The company’s proposed expansions would add 30 million tonnes per year of LNG production capacity combined.
Cheniere is studying the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s requirements for rival Freeport LNG to restart its fire-damaged Texas facility. The monitoring is intended to ensure its facilities meet all FERC standards, the executives said.
