中国石化新闻网讯 据油气新闻网1月11日报道，根据数据和分析公司GlobalData的数据显示，荷兰皇家壳牌公司(Shell)在2022年主导了主要采购公司签署的全球长期液化天然气进口合同量，合同量为670万吨/年。
GlobalData的报告《2022年按地区、合同和公司划分的长期液化天然气合同审查分析》显示，壳牌在2022年签署的最大的长期合同是与墨西哥太平洋有限责任公司签订的260万吨/年天然气采购合同。而雪佛龙(Chevron)和埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)分别签署了300万吨/年液化天然气的进口合同。
GlobalData石油和天然气分析师Himani Pant Pandey评论道，由于脱碳努力以及天然气作为能源转型的桥梁燃料的作用，能源公司对长期液化天然气需求持乐观态度。长期合同的签署还有助于企业对冲液化天然气价格波动的风险，并确保供应有保障。
在卖方公司中，全球风投LNG公司（Venture Global LNG）签署的长期LNG合同数量最高，总计1100万吨/年。Energy Transfer Partners LP和NextDecade Corporation紧随其后，分别为790万吨/年和630万吨/年。
Himani总结道，来自美国的公司，如全球风投LNG公司，在2022年主导了长期液化天然气合同的签署，因为该国正在见证液化能力的显著增加，为出口创造了充足的机会。

Shell leads global long-term LNG contract volumes in 2022
Royal Dutch Shell (Shell) dominated the global long-term LNG import contract volumes signed by key purchasing companies in 2022, with a contracted capacity of 6.7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company.
GlobalData’s report, “Long-Term LNG Contracts Review Analytics by Region, Contracts and Companies, 2022,” reveals that the biggest long-term contract signed by Shell in 2022 was with Mexico Pacific Limited LLC to procure 2.6 mtpa of natural gas. While Chevron and ExxonMobil entered into contracts to import 3.0 mtpa of LNG each.
Himani Pant Pandey, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Energy companies are bullish about long-term LNG demand due to decarbonisation efforts and the role of natural gas as a bridge fuel for the energy transition. The signing of long-term contracts also helps companies to hedge against volatile LNG prices and ensures guaranteed supply.”
Among the seller companies, Venture Global LNG signed the highest long-term LNG contract volumes with a total of 11.0 mtpa. Energy Transfer Partners LP and NextDecade Corporation follow with 7.9 mtpa and 6.3 mtpa, respectively.
Himani concludes: “Companies from the US such as the Venture Global LNG have led the signing of the long-term LNG contracts in 2022, as the country is witnessing significant liquefaction capacity additions creating ample opportunities for exports.”
