据普氏能源资讯休斯顿消息，标普全球普氏分析数据显示，周一，美国液化天然气的输送量保持在创纪录水平，切尼尔能源公司继续在其位于德克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂附近的出口设施测试第二条生产线。

切尼尔公司发言人在一封电子邮件中回复称：该生产线调试进展顺利。位于德克萨斯的美国最大的页岩气液化天然气出口终端已经提前完成了建设，以及路易斯安那州的萨宾帕斯液化设施。

由于预计2019年还将有多达三个液化天然气出口终端启动,美国即将成为全球液化天然气供应大国。与2018年相比，今年的增加和扩大将是国内液化天然气原料气需求的两倍多。

在美国，乃至亚洲、欧洲和拉丁美洲的市场参与者，面临的最大问题是，开发商将在最后投资决策的繁忙之年推出多少新项目。若要在21世纪20年代初至中期达到全球供应预计短缺的时间框架，则需要在2019年或之后不久开工。

标普全球普氏分析数据显示，就在上周，切尼尔获得联邦能源管理委员会批准将燃料天然气引入科珀斯克里斯蒂2号后不久，向该终端的总交货量首次超过了7亿立方英尺/天，而且在过去的两天里已经这样做了。总的来说，在切尼尔的两个终端和道明尼资源公司位于马里兰州的湾点终端上，周一美国液化天然气的总需求约为每天50亿立方英尺/天，接近上周六达到的近56亿立方英尺/天的创纪录水平。自从去年12月11日，科珀斯克里斯蒂出口了第一批货物后，在科珀斯克里斯蒂港的原料输送量平均达到了4.12亿立方英尺/天，而该码头现在总共出口了三批货物。标普全球普氏估计，科珀斯克里斯蒂1号生产线将于2月投入商业服务，2号生产线定于8月开通。

Cheniere ramp-up fuels US LNG feedgas demand strength

US LNG feedgas deliveries remained near record levels Monday with Cheniere Energy continuing equipment testing on the second liquefaction train at its export facility near Corpus Christi, Texas, S&P Global Platts Analytics data showed.

Commissioning of the unit is progressing well, a company spokesman said in an email responding to questions. The biggest US exporter of LNG produced from shale gas has been ahead of schedule with construction at the Texas terminal, as well as its Sabine Pass liquefaction facility in Louisiana.

With as many as three more export terminals expected to start up in 2019, the US is on the verge of becoming a major player in the global supply of LNG. The additions and expansions are expected to more than double the amount of domestic LNG feedgas demand this year compared with 2018.

The biggest question mark hanging over the US industry, and by extension market participants in Asia, Europe and Latin America, is how many new projects will be advanced by developers in what is shaping up to be a busy year for final investment decisions. To hit the early- to mid-2020s timeframe when global supply is forecast to be short, construction would need to start in 2019, or soon after.

Shortly after Cheniere received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval last week to introduce fuel gas to its Corpus Christi Train 2, total deliveries to the terminal managed to exceed 700 MMcf/d for the first time and have now done so the last two days, Platts Analytics data showed. Overall, across Cheniere's two terminals and Dominion Energy's Cove Point terminal in Maryland, total US LNG feedgas demand Monday was about 5 Bcf/d, near the record level of almost 5.6 Bcf/d reached on Saturday, Platts Analytics data showed. Since exporting its first cargo December 11, feedgas deliveries at Corpus Christi have averaged 412 MMcf/d and the terminal has now exported a total of three cargoes, according to Platts' vessel tracker, cFlow. Platts Analytics estimates Train 1 at Corpus Christi will enter commercial service in February with Train 2 slated for August.
