石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯3月11日伦敦报道，运营商NAM周一公布的数据显示，由于温暖的气温和健康的供应限制了取暖需求，荷兰格罗宁根(Groningen)巨型低热量气田2月份天然气产量环比下降23%，创下四个月来的最低月度降幅。
格罗宁根2月产量为1.57亿立方米，将2018年的天然气累计产量定为8.29亿立方米。当前天然气年的生产配额为19.4亿立方米，允许GY-18剩余部分的最大产量为1.59亿立方米/月。为了防止与气田采气有关的地震，已经建立了生产上限。荷兰政府计划到2030年完全停止格罗宁根的天然气开采。
今年2月，荷兰门液化天然气接收站(Dutch Gate LNG terminal)的供应大幅增加，使得格罗宁根的产量较上年同期有所下降。亚洲市场对温暖天气的定价较低，以及核电产能的增加，在很大程度上有利于欧洲大陆2月份的液化天然气经济。
标普全球普氏能源资讯(S&P Global Platts Analytics)的数据显示，2月份，Gate的液化天然气出口飙升至4.86亿立方米，而去年同期仅有4100万立方米。
格罗宁根四个油田中的两个已经停产。2018年3月，Loppersum停产，Eemskanall停产于2018年4月。
格罗宁根剩余的两个活跃地区Oost和Zuidwest的产量在2月份都有所下降。Oost的产量当月下降19%，至11.4亿立方米。与此同时，Zuidwest的产量当月下降11%，至4.27亿立方米。
格罗宁根L-cal天然气产量的迅速下降，将继续使荷兰越来越依赖从挪威和俄罗斯进口的液化天然气和管道天然气。
展望明年3月，欧洲液化天然气的经济性可能会维持再气化量。然而，定制气象数据显示，气温正回落至季节性平均水平，这意味着供暖需求可能略有增加。

Dutch Feb Groningen natural gas output falls 23% on month
Natural gas production in February at the giant low-calorie Groningen field in the Netherlands fell by 23% on the month, registering its lowest monthly drop in four months as warm temperatures and healthy supplies kept a lid on heating demand, data from operator NAM showed Monday.
The Groningen February production of 1.57 Bcm places Gas Year 2018's current cumulative gas production at the field at 8.29 Bcm. The production quota for the current gas year, being at 19.4 Bcm, will allow for a maximum output of 1.59 Bcm/month for the remainder of GY-18. A production cap has been put in place to prevent earthquakes linked to gas extraction at the field. The Dutch government plans to phase out gas extraction at Groningen completely by 2030.
The significant ramping up in send-out at the Dutch Gate LNG terminal in February has allowed production to fall on the year at Groningen. Lower Asian pricing on warm weather and a ramp-up in nuclear capacity largely contributed to favoring LNG economics in Continental Europe in February.
LNG send-out at Gate surged to 486 million cu m in February, compared with just 41 million cu m a year earlier, data from S&P Global Platts Analytics showed.
Production at two of Groningen's four fields has ceased. In March 2018, production ceased at Loppersum, while output at Eemskanall ended in April 2018.
The production at Groningen's two remaining active areas -- Oost and Zuidwest -- have both eased in February. Oost's production fell 19% on the month to 1.144 Bcm. Production at Zuidwest meanwhile fell 11% on the month down to 427 million cu m.
The rapid decline in production of L-cal gas from Groningen will continue to make the Netherlands increasingly dependent on LNG and pipeline gas imports from Norway and Russia.
Looking ahead into March, European LNG economics are likely to sustain regasification volumes. Temperatures are however falling back in line with seasonal averages, CustomWeather data showed, meaning heating demand could increase slightly.
