据路透社伦敦5月24日报道，亚洲液化天然气（LNG）价格本周下跌，原因是需求低迷，而现货量激增。

7月份运往东北亚的货物价格估计为每百万英热4.5美元，为7周以来的最低水平，八月的价格略有下降，但也低于每百万英热5美元。

欧洲和亚洲之间的价差从5月早些时候的每百万英热1美元降至50美分以下，从而减少了太平洋和大西洋流域之间的现货贸易机会。

全球各地的卖家纷纷发出货物报价。

在太平洋地区，英国石油运营的印尼Tangguh液化天然气项目提供了三批货物供8、9月份装运，而印尼国油Pertamina提供了两批货物供6、7月从Bontang工厂装运。

据消息人士称，文莱液化天然气提供了6月下旬装船的货物，并可能以每百万英热4.5美元至4.60美元的价格将其出售。

在中东，阿曼提出了报价，从6月底到8月底，有两批现货货物可供装运。

在大西洋上，埃及天然气公司（EGAS）在6月和7月对13批货物进行了销售招标。

贸易消息人士称，一些货物的价格可能低至每百万英热3.5美元，原因是欧洲天然气价格下跌。

GLOBAL LNG-Flood of spot cargoes push prices to seven-week low

Asian liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices slumped this week on a flood of spot volumes amid subdued demand.

Prices for delivery into northeast Asia in July are estimated at $4.50 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), the lowest level in seven weeks. The August price is in a slight contango but is also below $5.00 per mmBtu.

Price spreads between Europe and Asia shrank to below 50 cents from over $1 earlier in May, reducing opportunities for spot trade between the Pacific and Atlantic basins.

Cargo offers came from a variety of sellers around the world.

In the Pacific, the BP-operated Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia offered three cargoes for loading in August and September, while state-owned Pertamina offered two cargoes for loading from the Bontang plant in June and July.

Brunei LNG offered a cargo for late June loading and may have awarded it at $4.50 to $4.60 per mmBtu, sources said.

In the Middle East, offers came from Oman where two spot cargoes were made available for loading from the end of June to the end of August.

In the Atlantic, Egypt’s natural gas company (EGAS) awarded its sell tender for 13 cargoes loading in June and July.

Prices for some cargoes might have been as low as $3.50 per mmBtu, trade sources said, with the low prices being a result of a drop in European gas prices.
