印度8月LNG进口量上升

据世界天然气网9月22日消息 印度8月液化天然气进口增加。

石油部石油规划分析小组（PPAC）指出，8月份液化天然气进口量达到29.7亿立方米，比2019年8月进口的28.2亿立方米液化天然气有所增加。

与上月印度进口的29.6亿立方米冷冻燃料相比进口量仍然持平。

在截至8月的一年里，印度总共进口了128.7亿立方米的液化天然气，比去年同期的136.2亿立方米低5.5%。

进口商品价格下跌。2020年8月的进口价值为6亿美元，低于2019年8月印度支付的8亿美元。

今年迄今累计进口总值为25亿美元，低于2019年同期的39亿美元。

从印度国内天然气产量来看，上月下降9.5%，至24.3亿立方米。

印度目前通过6个液化天然气进口终端进口冷冻燃料，总容量为4250万吨。

据PPAC称，这些设施的利用率正在上升。印度液化天然气公司达赫液化天然气终端的产能利用率为80.7%。

PPAC数据显示，壳牌500万吨/年的哈兹拉液化天然气终端的产能为93.3%，而达博液化天然气设施的产能为30.4%。

科奇液化天然气工厂的产能为14.3%，印度石油公司的恩诺雷工厂为9.3%，GSPC蒙德拉工厂的产能为32.2%。

India’s August LNG imports rise

India has upped the liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports during the month of August.

The oil ministry’s Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell notes that LNG imports reached 2.97 billion cubic meters in August. This is an increase over the 2.82 billion cubic meters of LNG imported in August 2019.

Compared to the previous month, when India imported 2.96 billion cubic meters of the chilled fuel, imports remained flat.

For the year until August, India imported a total of 12.87 billion cubic meters of LNG. This is 5.5 per cent below the 13.62 billion cubic meters imported during the corresponding period last year.

The price of imports slipped. August 2020 imports are valued at $0.6 billion, down from $0.8 billion India paid in August 2019.

Cumulative imports for the year so far are valued at $2.5 billion, down from $3.9 billion in the corresponding period in 2019.

Looking at India’s domestic natural gas production, it dropped 9.5 per cent last month to 2.43 billion cubic meters.

India currently imports chilled fuel via six LNG import terminals with a combined capacity of 42.5 million tonnes.

According to PPAC, utilization of these facilities is picking up. Petronet LNG’s Dahej LNG terminal operated at 80.7 per cent capacity.

PPAC data shows that Shell’s 5 mtpa Hazira LNG terminal operated at 93.3 per cent capacity while the Dabhol LNG facility operated at 30.4 per cent.

Kochi LNG facility was at 14.3 per cent, Indian Oil’s Ennore facility operated at 9.3 per cent while GSPC’s Mundra plant operated at 32.2 per cent capacity.
