据世界能源7月5日消息：今年6月，全球液化天然气接收量连续第四个月同比增长，但较5月有所下降，处于去年10月以来的最低水平。
石油分析公司Vortexa的数据显示，上月液化天然气总交付量从去年同期的2700万吨上升至2990万吨，但低于5月份的3190万吨。上个月的进口量为去年10月以来的最低水平，当时全球进口量为2890万吨，去年11月至今年5月的交货量均保持在3000万吨以上，这在一定程度上反映了全球需求的典型季节性特征。
亚太地区强劲的需求再次成为全球增长的主要驱动力，该地区上个月接收了1760万吨，高于去年同期的1540万吨，并进一步将其市场份额从去年同期的69.8%和5月份的68.9%提高到70.4%。但拉美国家也贡献了很大一部分额外需求，该地区上月的总收入从去年同期的99.3万吨增加了一倍，达到190万吨，创下了2018年8月以来的最高水平，而就在美国新管道投产前，墨西哥的液化天然气需求开始大幅下降。
今年以来，阿根廷国内天然气产量的疲软推动了该国对液化天然气的依赖，而巴西创纪录的干旱则大幅打压了水力发电产量，并提升了该国的天然气需求。但拉丁美洲在全球市场的份额仍仅为5.7%，尽管这一比例高于去年同期的2.3%和5月份的3.6%。
欧洲在全球需求中的份额从去年同期的22.1%和5月份的23.8%收窄至6月份的19.4%。该地区上月进口量为575万吨，与去年同期的571万吨基本持平。
尽管与去年同期相比，6月份天气较为温和，但日本6月的进口量从去年同期的530万吨和5月的520万吨增至560万吨。与去年6月相比，上个月更强劲的经济活动使消费有所增加，当时出台了更多的新冠肺炎限制措施。
在Krishna Godavari盆地的新海上油田投产后，国内产量增加，也减少了该国对进口的依赖。最新数据显示，印度上个月的进口量从一年前的234万吨降至180万吨，而5月份国内产量从一年前的23亿立方米增长了近五分之一，达到27.4亿立方米。6月份液化天然气价格高企，可能也打压了印度买家对现货的兴趣。

Global LNG Deliveries Rise in June
Worldwide LNG receipts increased compared with a year earlier for a fourth consecutive month in June but dropped from May and were at their lowest since October.
Aggregate LNG deliveries rose to 29.9mn t of LNG last month from 27mn t a year earlier, data from oil analytics firm Vortexa show, but were lower than the 31.9mn t delivered in May. Receipts last month were at their lowest since October, when 28.9mn t was imported globally, with November-May deliveries all holding above 30mn t, partly reflecting a typical seasonality profile in global demand.
Stronger Asia-Pacific demand was again the main driver of the global increase, with the region receiving 17.6mn t last month, up from 15.4mn t a year earlier, and further increasing its market share to 70.4pc, from 69.8pc a year earlier and 68.9pc in May. But Latin American countries also contributed a large slice of the additional demand, with aggregate receipts to the region broadly doubling to 1.9mn t last month from 993,000t a year earlier — and the highest since August 2018, just before the commissioning of a new pipeline from the US began to slash Mexico's LNG demand.
Weak domestic gas production in Argentina has boosted the country's reliance align="justify"> Europe's share of global demand narrowed to 19.4pc in June from 22.1pc a year earlier and 23.8pc in May. The region took 5.75mn t last month, broadly unchanged from 5.71mn t a year earlier.
Japanese receipts rose to 5.6mn t in June from 5.3mn t a year earlier and 5.2mn t in May, despite mild weather during the month compared with June 2020. But stronger economic activity last month enabled higher consumption compared with June last year, when more Covid-19 restrictions were in place.
Stronger domestic production following the start-up of new offshore fields in the Krishna Godavari basin also reduced the country's reliance on imports. Indian receipts fell to 1.8mn t last month from 2.34mn t a year earlier, while domestic production rose by almost a fifth to 2.74bn m³ in May, the latest data available, from 2.3bn m³ a year earlier. High LNG prices in June may have also weighed on Indian buyers' appetite for spot cargoes.
