中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博新闻社2023年4月13日巴黎报道，法国能源巨头道达尔能源公司首席执行官潘彦磊说，在过去几年里导致欧洲天然气价格飙升的天然气危机并没有完全结束，因为该地区仍然面临供应有限和全球其他地区对供暖和发电燃料日益激烈的竞争。

他是在出席在纽约举行的哥伦比亚全球能源峰会(Columbia Global Energy Summit)期间接受媒体记者采访时发表上述讲话的。他表示：“认为欧洲已经解决了天然气危机问题的想法是错误的。我们仍然有供应缺口。”

他说，液化天然气的价格已从2022年的高点大幅下跌，可能会在今年年底前再次上涨，因为在能源需求反弹之际，欧洲需要在明年冬季来临之前补充库存。他补充说，与此同时，由于多年来进出口基础设施投资不足，这种超冷燃料在欧洲的供应至少在2026年之前不会显著增加。

“欧洲获得液化天然气的唯一途径就是支付更高的价格，这就是供求关系的现实。”他对记者如是说。

Europe’s gas crisis is still not over, TotalEnergies CEO says

Paris: The crisis that sent natural gas prices skyrocketing in Europe over the past couple of years isn’t fully over as the region is still faced with constrained supplies and rising competition overseas for the heating and power-generation fuel, according to the boss of TotalEnergies.

“The idea that Europe has solved the issue is wrong,” CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in an interview at the Columbia Global Energy Summit in New York that was broadcast online. “We have a gap of supply.”

Prices for liquefied natural gas cargoes, which have plunged from 2022’s highs, may rise again through year-end as Europe needs to replenish its inventories before winter at a time when Chinese energy demand is rebounding. Meanwhile, supplies of the super-chilled fuel won’t significantly increase at least until 2026 after years of underinvestment in import and export infrastructure, he added.

“The only way for Europe to get the LNG is to pay more. It’s just the reality of supply and demand,” Pouyanne said.
