石油设备网讯 据道琼斯3月20日消息，去年全球液化天然气（LNG）需求增长了6%，预计2030年前将以年均4.5%的速度快速增长。石油搜寻公司老板Peter Botten表示，这相当于每年需要增加1.2亿吨LNG供应。但他在巴布亚新几内亚举行的一个石油峰会上表示，由于其他重大新项目已经进入最终投资决策阶段，巴布亚新几内亚下一阶段的开发需要迅速进行。Botten指出，去年在支持埃克森美孚和道达尔公司在该国新建的三条270万吨/年生产线的研究上取得了良好进展。与此同时，对Elk-Antelope气田的早期研究也取得了很大进展。他表示，石油搜寻公司将优先考虑勘探和评估活动。

Global LNG demand Annual Average Gains of 4.5% are Expected Through 2030
Global LNG demand rose 6% last year, and annual average gains of 4.5% are expected through 2030. Oil Search boss Peter Botten says that equals a further 120 million tons of yearly supply. But he tells a petroleum summit in Papua New Guinea that with other major new projects already moving toward final investment decisions, the next phase of development in PNG needs to move swiftly. Botten notes good progress was made last year on studies to support 3 new 2.7 million tonnes/year production lines on the island with Exxon and Total. Meanwhile, early consideration of the Elk-Antelope fields is well-advanced. He says Oil Search will prioritize exploration and appraisal activity.
