据天然气加工网站8月14日报道 亚洲液化天然气现货价格升至逾六个月高位,因市场担忧澳大利亚Gorgon工厂的产量以及该地区部分买家的需求。
9月交付至东北亚的液化天然气平均价格估计在3.60-3.80美元/每百万英热单位之间,比上周的水平高出0.60美元/每百万英热单位。10月份交货的价格在3.80-4.00美元/每百万英热单位之间。
路透社数据显示,这是首次自1月底价格升至接近4.00美元/每百万英热单位。
Gorgon 2号生产线自今年5月开始停工检修,重新启动日期从7月推迟到9月。另外两条生产线也被要求在安全问题引起关注后接受检查。

Asia LNG prices at over 6-month high on Gorgon concerns, cargo buying
Asian spot LNG prices rose to more than a six-month high on concerns over production from Australia's Gorgon plant and demand from some buyers in the region.
The average LNG price for September delivery into northeast Asia was estimated between $3.60 and $3.80 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), $0.60 per mmBtu above last week's level. The price for October delivery was seen between $3.80 and $4.00 per mmBtu.
This is for the first time since end-January when prices increased to levels close to $4.00 per mmBtu, Reuters data showed.
Gorgon Train 2 has been shut for maintenance since May, with its restart date delayed to September from July. Two other trains were also ordered to be inspected after safety concerns were raised.
