据世界天然气6月22日消息：全球领先的数据分析公司GlobalData称，预计到2025年，北美将成为全球液化天然气(LNG)液化产能增长的领头羊，贡献率约为63%。前苏联地区位居第二，占18%，其次是中东，占10%。
GlobalData的最新报告《2021-2025年液化天然气液化终端的全球产能和资本支出展望》显示，2021年至2025年期间，北美新建和扩建项目每年将增加2.06亿吨。
GlobalData石油和天然气分析师Bhargavi Gandham评论道：“美国主要在2025年及以后推动液化产能的增加。尽管Covid-19引发了美国一些项目的推迟和项目延期，但它有望超越澳大利亚和卡塔尔，成为拥有巨大页岩气储量的全球领先国家。加拿大也依赖其丰富的天然气资源来增加出口液化能力。”
在这些国家中，美国预计将占全球LNG新增产能的46%。它将成为北美贡献最大的国家，预计LNG液化能力为1.26亿吨/年。独联体地区的最大贡献者将是俄罗斯，新增产能3760万吨/年，卡塔尔将以3200万吨/年成为中东地区的明星。
各地区最大的项目分别包括美国的Plaquemines，到2025年产能将达到2000万吨/年；俄罗斯Arctic-2 Floating将达到1980万吨/年；以及卡塔尔Ras Laffan North油田扩张计划，到2025年达到3200万吨/年。

North America dominates global LNG liquefaction capacity additions
North America is expected to lead the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction capacity additions by 2025, contributing around 63%, says GlobalData, a leading data, and analytics company. The Former Soviet Union (FSU) region is a distant second place, with 18%, followed by the Middle East at 10%.
GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Global Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook for LNG Liquefaction Terminals, 2021–2025’, reveals that North America’s new-build and expansion projects will see additions of 206 mtpa (million tonnes per annum) between 2021 and 2025.
Bhargavi Gandham, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “In North America, the US primarily drives liquefaction capacity additions by 2025 and beyond. Though Covid-19 triggered project delays and postponement of a few projects in the US, it is align="justify"> Among the countries, the US is expected to account for 46% of global LNG liquefaction capacity additions. It will be the highest contributing country in North America, an expected LNG liquefaction capacity of 126mtpa. The FSU’s highest contributor will be Russia with 37.6mtpa of additions, and Qatar will be the star for the Middle East at 32mtpa.
The largest projects in each region include Plaquemines in the US, with a capacity of 20 mtpa by 2025; Arctic-2 Floating in Russia, with 19.8 mtpa by 2025; and Ras Laffan North Field Expansion in Qatar, with 32 mtpa by 2025.
