据油价网2023年4月21日报道，路透社报道说，由于需求疲软，本月全球液化天然气库存量增加，并指出全球液化天然气需求将在今年夏季复苏。
路透社的报道还指出，根据大宗商品数据提供商Kpler公布的数据，截至4月20日，全球浮式储存的液化天然气量为55万吨，几乎是去年同期的两倍。
液化天然气库存增加的主要原因是亚洲主要液化天然气进口国的需求下降。
Kpler分析师对路透社表示，目前全球范围内的浮式液化天然气交易量有所增加，而这一增长来自亚洲…… 反映出主要消费国日本和韩国对液化天然气的需求不温不火。
亚洲大型石化巨头全球液化天然气及新能源业务人士Yaoyu Zhang表示，液化天然气需求将取决于现货价格。
与此同时，日本正在寻求长期液化天然气供应，作为确保长期供应的努力的一部分，日本最大的大宗商品交易商之一的三井物产最近收购了得克萨斯州的天然气生产资产，可以使用位于墨西哥湾沿岸的液化天然气设施。
据《天然气世界》网站最近报道，在韩国，对启用核电的重新考虑正在威胁着对液化天然气的长期需求。韩国将一半的液化天然气供应用于发电。
能源经济与金融分析研究所（IEEFA）在最近的一份报告中指出，在暖冬和价格高企的背景下，今年第一季度亚洲对液化天然气的需求继续下降。值得注意的是，IEEFA指出，即使价格明显下跌，亚洲对液化天然气的需求仍然疲软。

Global LNG Inventories Rise On Weak Demand
Global inventories of liquefied natural gas have increased this month driven by weaker demand, Reuters has reported, noting demand is about to recover in the summer.
At 550,000 ton as of April 20, per Kpler data, LNG in floating storage around the world is almost twice as much as it was this time last year, the report also noted.
The increase in inventories is driven chiefly by lower demand from the three biggest LNG importers in the world:Japan, and South Korea.
"There are currently more floating volumes on a global level and the increase is coming out of Asia... Reflecting tepid demand from major consumers Japan, and South Korea," a Kpler analyst told Reuters.
According to Yaoyu Zhang, general manager of global LNG and new energies at the state major of the Asian Petrochemical giant, LNG demand would depend on spot prices.
Japan, meanwhile, is looking for long-term supply and as part of efforts to secure that, Mitsui, one of the largest commodity traders in the country, recently bought gas-producing assets in Texas with access to LNG facilities on the Gulf Coast.
In South Korea, a reconsideration of nuclear energy is threatening long-term demand for LNG, Natural Gas World reported recently. South Korea uses half of its LNG supply for power generation.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis noted in a recent report Asian demand for LNG has continued declining during the first quarter of the year on the back of a mild winter and high prices. Notably, even when prices fell palpably, demand remained weak, the IEEFA noted.
