据天然气加工网站12月18日报道 据介绍,大宗商品交易公司贡沃尔今年的液化天然气产量将比2018年增加45%,仍是最大的液化天然气独立贸易商。
到2019年底,贡沃尔将供应1600万吨液化天然气,高于去年的1100万吨。
各大贸易公司一直在扩大其在液化天然气市场的份额,帮助液化天然气在全球清洁能源的推动下变得更具流动性。
贡沃尔液化天然气联席主管Kalpesh Patel在一份声明中表示:“我们在液化天然气市场业务的广泛存在是价值链上始终如一、可靠的业绩和强大合作伙伴关系的结果。尽管液化天然气和天然气市场近期出现看跌情绪,但贡沃尔仍看好未来能源结构内的天然气增长。”
Kalpesh Patel表示,去年贡沃尔超过60%的交付量是在中长期合同下完成的,但随着公司在全球范围内推行多项长期计划,这一比例将不断上升。
贡沃尔表示,其今年最大的市场是印度,在那里公司已经交付了75批货物。
本月早些时候,贡沃尔的竞争对手托克和Glencore也表示,他们已经增加了液化天然气的产量。
托克今年的产量增加到1260万公吨当量。
Glencore表示,到2019年底该公司将交易近1100万吨液化天然气。

Gunvor remains biggest LNG trader as its deliveries rise 45% this year
Commodities trading house Gunvor will deliver 45% more liquefied natural gas (LNG) this year than in 2018, remaining the largest independent LNG trader, it said.
It will supply a total of 16 million tons of LNG by the end of 2019, up from 11 million tons delivered last year.
Major trading houses have been expanding their presence in the LNG market, helping make it more liquid amid a global drive for cleaner energy.
"Our considerable presence in the LNG market is the result of consistent and reliable performance and strong partnerships along the value chain. Despite the near-term bearish sentiment in the LNG and natural gas markets, Gunvor remains positive on growth of natural gas within the energy mix for (the) future," Kalpesh Patel, Gunvor's co-head of LNG, said in a statement.
Last year more than 60% of Gunvor's volumes delivered were under mid- or long-term contracts but that percentage will be increasing as the company is pursuing a number of long-term initiatives globally, Patel said.
Gunvor said that its largest market this year was India where it had delivered 75 cargoes.
Earlier this month, Gunvor's rival trading houses Trafigura and Glencore, also said they had increased their LNG volumes.
Trafigura's volumes rose to 12.6 million metric tons equivalent this year.
Glencore said it would trade almost 11 million tons of LNG by the end of 2019.
