据普氏能源资讯11月10日首尔报道,韩国国家天然气公司(Kogas)10日在首尔公布的统计数据显示,由于LNG国内销售量因经济衰退以及发电更多使用煤炭和核能减少了7.6%,Kogas今年前9个月LNG进口量同比大幅削减13.9%至2291万吨。
Kogas没有透露该公司第三季度进口了多少LNG,但鉴于Kogas曾报告其今年上半年进口了1654万吨LNG,因此,该公司第三季度进口了637万吨LNG,同比下降了4.2%。
这表明Kogas的LNG进口量在去年第一季度增加0.5%以后已连续6个季度同比下降。
Kogas说,大部分LNG供应是根据16份长期合同和3份中期合同进口的。

South Korean Kogas cuts Jan-Sep LNG imports 13.9% on year on weaker demand
Seoul (Platts)--10 Nov 2015
South Korean state-owned Korea Gas Corp's imports of LNG fell 13.9% year on year to 22.91 million mt in January-September due to a 7.6% drop in domestic sales because of an economic downturn as well as greater use of coal and nuclear for power generation, the company said Tuesday.
The company did not disclose how much it imported in the third quarter. But given its first-half imports of 16.54 million mt, the company imported 6.37 million mt in Q3, down 4.2% on the year.
This marked the sixth consecutive quarter of year-on-year declines following a 0.5% growth in Q1 last year.
The utility said most of the supply was imported under 16 long-term and three medium-term contracts.
