-- 伍德麦肯兹(Wood Mackenzie)的分析师在周二的一份报告中指出,受主要地区管道输送能力瓶颈的制约,预计今年夏季美国天然气产量仅会小幅增长。 他们表示,美国本土48州的产量将主要由几个产气盆地支撑,包括二叠纪盆地、海恩斯维尔页岩、鹰滩页岩和马塞勒斯/尤蒂卡页岩。其中,预计只有鹰滩页岩在短期内能够实现显著的增量增长。 季节性价格波动也可能对供应造成压力。与往年夏季一样,相对疲软的价格可能会促使生产商减产,尤其是在阿巴拉契亚地区和加拿大西部部分地区。不过,分析师预计,随着管道输送能力的缓解,产量将在今年晚些时候有所回升。 液化天然气(LNG)项目的发展通常会因飓风等潜在干扰而带来下行风险,但在2026年,这些项目将起到一定的平衡作用。 切尼尔能源公司(Cheniere Energy)位于科珀斯克里斯蒂的LNG工厂正在进行扩建,其中6号生产线正在进行测试,预计将于5月投产;7号生产线预计将于夏末秋初投产。 与此同时,金山口LNG工厂也在加速产能提升,1号生产线预计将于6月达到每日8亿立方英尺的产能,并计划在今年晚些时候增加产能。 墨西哥的天然气需求预计将出现结构性增长,这主要受国内和美国市场发电需求的驱动。 尽管科斯塔阿祖尔液化天然气项目(Energia Costa Azul Liquefaction project)目前仍在延期,但预计该项目仍将显著提升原料气需求。不过,分析师也指出了一些风险,包括项目延期、国内消费与出口之间的竞争以及天气相关的需求波动。 美国国内需求依然强劲,部分原因是受房屋结构性趋势的支撑。面积更大、层高更高的房屋增加了供暖需求,导致季节性需求波动更大。 与此同时,电力消费的稳步增长继续支撑着天然气发电,使其成为电网的关键稳定器。 在全球范围内,供应担忧进一步支撑了价格。卡塔尔拉斯拉凡工业城出口基础设施的损坏预计将对液化天然气产量产生长期影响,全面恢复可能需要数年时间。 分析人士表示,此次中断可能有助于为美国液化天然气出口设定价格底线,同时降低新开发项目的财务风险。 更广泛的地缘政治背景预计也将强化能源安全的重要性,这可能会增强美国对能源密集型产业的吸引力,并支撑长期需求增长。
