伍德麦肯兹：低排放将刺激天然气产量强劲增长

　　据道琼斯12月13日消息，伍德麦肯兹公司首席分析师Simon Flowers表示，在所有化石燃料中，天然气需求增长的基本面最为强劲，因为其碳强度较小。煤炭产量的增速已经开始放慢，而原油产量增速或许也将放慢。他表示：“从全球范围来看，天然气将成为一个非常好的产业。但是天然气所面临的难题是如何经济地将它开采出来，因为多数大型天然气发现位于包括深水区域在内的前沿区域。”

　　Natural Gas Output to Gain Because of Low Emissions: Wood Mackenzie

　　[Dow Jones] Among all fossil fuels, natural gas has robust fundamentals for growth because it is less carbon intensive, says Simon Flowers, chief analyst at Wood Mackenzie. Growth in coal production has started to slow down, while crude oil may also be headed that way. From the global point of view, gas is going to be a good industry, he says. The difficulty with gas is taking it out. Many big gas discoveries are found in frontier areas including deep water, Mr Flowers says.
