據世界天然氣網9月22日消息 印度8月液化天然氣進口增加。

石油部石油規劃分析小組（PPAC）指出，8月份液化天然氣進口量達到29.7億立方米，比2019年8月進口的28.2億立方米液化天然氣有所增加。

與上月印度進口的29.6億立方米冷凍燃料相比進口量仍然持平。

在截至8月的一年里，印度總共進口了128.7億立方米的液化天然氣，比去年同期的136.2億立方米低5.5%。

進口商品價格下跌。2020年8月的進口價值為6億美元，低于2019年8月印度支付的8億美元。

今年迄今累計進口總值為25億美元，低于2019年同期的39億美元。

從印度國內天然氣產量來看，上月下降9.5%，至24.3億立方米。

印度目前通過6個液化天然氣進口終端進口冷凍燃料，總容量為4250萬噸。

據PPAC稱，這些設施的利用率正在上升。印度液化天然氣公司達赫液化天然氣終端的產能利用率為80.7%。

PPAC數據顯示，殼牌500萬噸/年的哈茲拉液化天然氣終端的產能為93.3%，而達博液化天然氣設施的產能為30.4%。

科奇液化天然氣工廠的產能為14.3%，印度石油公司的恩諾雷工廠為9.3%，GSPC蒙德拉工廠的產能為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.
