石油设备网讯 据世界天然气5月20日消息，今年4月，澳大利亚的液化天然气(LNG)出口创下月度新高，覆盖98个国家。
根据能源咨询公司EnergyQuest的一份报告，液化天然气出口创下670万吨的月度纪录，高于3月的620万吨，当时有91艘液化天然气离开澳大利亚。
澳洲4月出货量为8100万吨/年，远高于卡塔尔的产能7700万吨/年。EnergyQuest指出，卡塔尔4月因维护问题产能低于产能。
澳大利亚项目4月份向中国交付了36批货物，高于3月份的33批，超过了对日本的发货。澳大利亚一直在向日本每月运送40艘或更多的货船，但4月份这一数字降至33艘。
EnergyQuest指出，一些现货已从Wheatstone和Ichthys发货，没有来自东海岸项目的报告。
西海岸4月份的出货量从3月份的4.2吨增加到4.8吨，4月份的出货量为70吨，3月份为62吨。
4月东海岸LNG出货量从3月的1,973万吨降至1,880万吨，其中4月有28批货物，1批货物较3月减少。

Australian LNG exports hit monthly record
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from Australia have reached a monthly record in April, spread across 98 cargoes.
According to a report by energy consultancy EnergyQuest, LNG exports hit a monthly record of 6.7 million tonnes, jumping up from 6.2 million tonnes in March when 91 cargoes departed Australia.
Australia’s April shipments were 81 Mtpa on an annualized basis, well ahead of Qatar nameplate capacity of 77 mtpa, with EnergyQuest noting that Qatar operated below capacity in April due to maintenance.
Australian projects delivered 36 cargoes to China in April, up from 33 in March, surpassing deliveries to Japan. Australia has been delivering 40 or more cargoes a month to Japan but this fell to 33 in April.
EnergyQuest noted that some spot cargoes have been shipped from Wheatstone and Ichthys, none reported from east coast projects.
West Coast shipments increased to 4.8 mt in April, up from 4.2 mt in March, with 70 cargoes in April compared to 62 in March.
East coast LNG shipments decreased to 1,880 kt in April from 1,973 kt in March, with 28 cargoes in April one cargo less compared to March.
