據世界天然氣網2月25日消息 美國能源信息管理署（EIA）報告稱，本周液化天然氣出口船只數量減少了5艘。

在2月17日至23日這一周的最新短期能源展望中，EIA報告稱共有18艘液化天然氣船離開美國。

其中6艘來自Sabine Pass，5艘來自科珀斯克里斯蒂，4艘來自卡梅倫，3艘來自弗里波特，這些船只液化天然氣總承載量為670億立方英尺。

本周液化天然氣貨物裝載量可能受到大霧和冬季天氣條件的影響。Sabine Pass和查爾斯湖（卡梅倫液化天然氣公司所在地）水道的領航服務暫停了幾天。

由于美國經歷了比正常更溫暖的天氣，亨利中心的價格在11月和12月呈下降趨勢。在12月達到冬季最低價格后，亨利中心的價格在整個1月上漲至最近的最高點6.44美元/百萬英熱單位。1月中旬和2月初，氣溫降至正常水平以下，庫存也降至五年平均水平以下。由于天氣預報較為溫和，亨利中心的價格自那以來一直在下跌。

對墨西哥的天然氣出口增加了1.6%（1億立方英尺/天），美國液化天然氣出口設施的天然氣交付量平均為119億立方英尺/天，比上周減少了9億立方英尺/天。

EIA: US LNG exports down by five from last week

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that LNG exports are down by five vessels this week from last week.

In the latest Short-Term Energy Outlook for the week between 17 and 23 February, EIA reports 18 LNG vessels departed the United States. This is five less than the last week in terms of LNG exports.

Six vessels departed from Sabine Pass, five from Corpus Christi, four from Cameron, and three from Freeport. They held a combined LNG-carrying capacity of 67 billion cubic feet.

LNG cargo loadings may have been affected this week by fog and winter weather conditions; piloting services were suspended for several days on the Sabine Pass and Lake Charles (the location of Cameron LNG) waterways.

The Henry Hub price trended down during November and December as the U.S. experienced warmer-than-normal weather. After reaching a low for the winter season in December, the Henry Hub price then rose throughout January to a recent high of $6.44/MMBtu. Temperatures cooled to below normal in mid-January and early February, and storage stocks fell back below their five-year average. Prices at the Henry Hub have since fallen in response to a more moderate weather forecast. 

Finally, natural gas exports to Mexico increased 1.6 per cent (0.1 Bcf/d), and natural gas deliveries to U.S. LNG export facilities averaged 11.9 Bcf/d, or 0.9 Bcf/d lower than last week.
