石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯伦敦6月4日消息 英荷壳牌公司首席执行官Ben van Beurden周二表示，该公司预计全球液化天然气市场到2035年将以每年4%的速度增长，公司计划“与此同步增长”，保持其在市场上的领先地位。
行业组织GIIGNL的数据显示，2018年全球液化天然气进口量约为3.14亿吨，但壳牌预计，到2035年，市场规模将翻一番。
该负责人表示:“天然气市场，特别是液化天然气市场将继续增长。”他补充说，到2035年，天然气和可再生能源将占能源需求增长的70%以上。
周二晚些时候，壳牌综合天然气主管Maarten Wetselaar对分析师表示，预计2019年新增液化能力约3,500万吨/年，将很好地满足短期内对液化天然气日益增长的需求。
"但随着需求持续增长，我们仍预计供应短缺将在本世纪20年代初至中期出现。" Wetselaar称。
根据壳牌管理日展示资料显示，其液化天然气产量占总销售额的比例略低于50%，其余部分由购买定期和现货液化天然气的销售额构成。
在定价方面，壳牌的液化天然气销售主要是与石油挂钩的，滞后3-6个月，其余三分之一的销售与天然气枢纽有关，如英国NBP或美国Henry Hub，或考虑现货销售。
该主管表示:“我们从20多个来源采购了5800万吨液化天然气，其中最大的一个来源仅占总销量的8%。”
该主管表示，液化天然气进口国已增至42个，其中27个国家的76家客户目前由壳牌供应。

Shell sees LNG market growth at 4% a year, plans to 'grow with it'
Anglo-Dutch major Shell expects the global LNG market to grow by 4% a year to 2035 and the company plans to "grow with it," maintaining its leading position in the market, CEO Ben van Beurden said Tuesday.
Global LNG imports in 2018 were some 314 million mt, according to industry group GIIGNL, but Shell sees the market doubling in size by 2035.
"The gas market and LNG in particular will continue to grow," van Beurden said, adding that by 2035 more than 70% of energy demand growth will be met by gas and renewables combined.
Speaking later Tuesday to analysts, Shell's head of integrated gas, Maarten Wetselaar, said the increasing demand for LNG in the short term is expected to be well met by some 35 million mt/year of additional liquefaction capacity coming on stream in 2019.
"But we still expect a supply shortage to develop in the early to mid-2020s as demand continues to grow," Wetselaar said.
According to slides accompanying Shell's management day presentation, its liquefaction volumes accounted for a little under 50% of its total sales, with the remainder made up of sales from purchases of both term and spot LNG.
On pricing, Shell's LNG sales were predominantly oil-indexed with a 3-6 month time lag, with the remaining third of sales linked to gas hubs -- such as the UK NBP or US Henry Hub -- or considered spot sales.
"We sourced 58 million mt of LNG from more than 20 sources with the single biggest source accounting for only 8% of the total volume sold," Wetselaar said.
Wetselaar said the number of LNG importing countries had grown to 42, with Shell currently supplying 76 customers in 27 of those countries.
