石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯伦敦4月4日消息 比利时Zeebrugge液化天然气终端运营商Fluxys周四表示,该公司计划推出一个液化天然气接收站产能转让窗口。
该窗口将于4月下半月推出,还将允许用户访问额外的存储服务。
关于将通过该窗口提供何种服务以及这些服务将如何操作的详细信息尚未立即提供。
普氏数据显示,Zeebrugge液化天然气终端是欧洲西北部的主要进口接收站之一,2018年为进口约1380亿立方英尺(39亿厘米)的天然气提供了便利。
自2018年9月以来,由于全球产能增加,加上需求最大的东北亚市场进入暖冬,欧洲的液化天然气供应量显著增加。
普氏数据显示,3月份欧洲液化天然气进口总额为988亿立方英尺(合280亿立方米),比去年同期的584亿立方英尺(合16.5亿立方米)高出69%。
因此,生产商和交易商之间对欧洲交货时段的竞争已开始加剧,他们正试图优化自己的投资组合或投放其闲置的库存。

Fluxys to launch platform for transferring LNG delivery at Zeebrugge terminal
Fluxys, the operator of the Zeebrugge LNG terminal in Belgium, plans to launch a window for the transfer of LNG terminal capacity, it said Thursday.
The window is set to be launched in the second half of April, and will also allow users to access additional storage services.
Specifics about what kinds of services will be offered via the window and how these will operate were not available immediately.
The Zeebrugge LNG terminal is one of the main import terminals in Northwest Europe and facilitated imports of some 138 Bcf (3.9 Bcm) of gas in 2018, according to data from S&P Global Platts Analytics.
Since September 2018, LNG deliveries to Europe have risen significantly on the back of an increase in global production capacity and a mild winter in the top demand market of Northeast Asia.
European LNG imports totaled 988 Bcf (28 Bcm) of gas equivalent in March, 69% above the 584 Bcf (16.5 Bcm) imported in the same month last year, according to Platts Analytics.
Consequently, competition for delivery slots in Europe has begun to increase among producers and traders trying to optimize their portfolios or place spare volumes.
