石油设备网讯 据路透社莫斯科报道，俄罗斯天然气巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（俄气/Gazprom）周四突然改变了对美国天然气供应的态度，称美国对欧洲出口液化天然气（LNG）将是今年俄气的主要竞争对手。
合约架构负责人Sergei Komlev周四在俄气杂志发表的评论中表示：“很明显，（美国）液化天然气将成为欧洲市场大战中的主要对手。”
此前，俄气否认了有关美国向欧洲供应液化天然气可能对其业务产生影响的担忧，公司官员们表示，俄罗斯天然气的价格将永远低于美国供应的天然气。
自去年10月以来，美国液化天然气已涌入欧洲，重塑了欧洲大陆的天然气流量，并导致高储存量和更窄的价格息差。

Gazprom expects tough competition from U.S. LNG exports to Europe
U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe will be the main competition for Gazprom this year, the Russian gas giant said on Thursday in an abrupt change of tone toward gas supplies from the United States.
“It is obvious that LNG will be the main rival in the battle for the European consumer,” Sergei Komlev, head of contracts structuring, said in comments published in Gazprom’s magazine on Thursday.
Gazprom has previously dismissed concerns that U.S. LNG supplies to Europe could have an impact on its business, with officials saying that Russian gas will always be cheaper than imports from the United States.
U.S. LNG has flooded Europe since October last year, reshaping gas flows on the continent and leading to high storage levels and narrower price spreads.
