据路透社莫斯科报道，尽管美国向欧洲施加压力，要求其减少天然气进口，但俄罗斯还是在天然气管道出口方面创造了记录，并计划在未来10年成为全球领先的液化天然气出口国，这要归功于俄罗斯在国内发展的相关技术。

俄罗斯政府官员和高管在一次行业会议上表示，他们预计俄罗斯今年的天然气出口量将达到创纪录水平，可能超过2000亿立方米，超过去年1940亿立方米的历史最高水平。

俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司Gazprom控制着欧洲35%的天然气市场，比其他任何供应商都要大，并且由于欧洲产量的下降和俄罗斯天然气开采成本的降低，Gazprom计划将其份额提高到40%。

俄罗斯能源部长Alexander Novak表示，俄罗斯可能在2030年前将天然气出口增加一倍，以满足不断飙升的全球需求。

这将使俄罗斯与卡塔尔（卡塔尔是世界上最大的液化天然气生产国，卡塔尔计划到2024年将产能从目前的7700万吨扩大到1.1亿吨）平起平坐 。

Russian gas exports to boom despite U.S. pressure and rivalry

Russia is setting records in gas pipeline exports despite U.S. pressure on Europe to reduce imports, and aims to become the world’s leading liquefied gas exporter in the next decade thanks to technology it is developing at home.

Russian government officials and executives told an industry conference on Wednesday they expect Russia export a record amount of gas this year, potentially exceeding 200 billion cubic metres (bcm) and beating last year’s all-time high of 194 bcm.

Gazprom controls 35 percent of the gas market in Europe, larger than any other supplier, and aims to increase its share to 40 percent due to declining European production and the lower cost of extracting gas in Russia.

Novak said Russia could double gas exports by 2030 to meet soaring global demand.

That would put Russia on a par with Qatar, the world’s largest LNG producer, which plans to expand its capacity to 110 million tonnes by 2024 from 77 million tonnes now.
