中国石化新闻网讯 据天然气加工新闻网12月13日报道，亚洲液化天然气(LNG)现货价格在截止12月13日的当周小幅上涨，此前在新需求的推动下，亚洲现货价格持续了近两个月的下跌。

据消息人士称，1月交付至东北亚LNG-AS的LNG均价约为每百万英国热量单位5.65美元，比前一周上涨15美分。2月份的价格估计约为每百万英热单位5.50美元。

亚洲市场仍处于季节性最低水平。一位液化天然气贸易商称，长期以来市场一直看跌，因此人们可能已经意识到，价格已经下跌太多，无法购买。

大部分需求来自土耳其国家能源公司Botas，该公司正在寻找大约30批今年12月至明年3月交付的货物。

Botas告诉路透，投标的原因仅仅是有吸引力的液化天然气价格，而不是需求的增加。

土耳其的一家天然气贸易商表示，俄罗斯管道天然气的价格比现货液化天然气的价格每百万英热单位高出约3美元，但他补充道，溢价将于2020年第一季度之后有所下降。

市场消息人士称，在招标和双边基础上，远东和印度也有一些购买询价。

一位贸易商称，印度石油公司购买的12月22日交货的价格每百万英热单位略高于5.00美元。

两名消息人士称，日本东北电力公司已招标采购了一批货物，将于1月下旬交付，每百万英热单位价格约为5.60美元。

他们补充道，马来西亚生产商马来西亚国家石油公司（Petronas）也有购买拟于1月上半月交付日本一批货物的招标。

Asian LNG prices rise for first time since October

Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) edged up this week after almost two months of declines on new demand.

The average LNG price for January delivery into northeast Asia LNG-AS is estimated at about $5.65 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), up 15 cents from the previous week, sources said. The February price is estimated at around $5.50/mmBtu.

The Asian market is still at its lowest level seasonally.

“There was a bearish sentiment in the market for a long time, so probably people are realising now that prices have come off too much to withhold from buying,” one LNG trader said.

Much of the demand came from Turkish state energy company Botas which is seeking around 30 cargoes for December to March delivery.

“The reason (for the tender) is simply the attractive LNG prices rather than a demand increase,” Botas told Reuters.

A gas trader in Turkey said that the price for Russian pipeline gas is around $3.00/mmBtu more expensive that the spot LNG price, but added that the premium is seen as decreasing after the first quarter 2020.

There were also a few buying enquiries in the Far East and India within tenders and on the bilateral basis, market sources said.

Indian Oil Corp purchased a cargo slightly above$5.00/mmBtu for Dec. 22 delivery, one trader said.

Japan’s Tohoku Electric Power has bought a cargo in a tender for late January delivery at around $5.60/mmBtu, two sources said.

There was also a buy tender from Malaysia’s producer Petronas for a cargo to be delivered to Japan in the first half of January, they added.
