中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2月27日报道，美国天然气期货周一触及一个月高位，因预估下周天气转冷，且LNG出口增加。
截至美国东部时间周一下午3时40分，天然气期货价格上涨6.48%，至2.710美元，因为本月迄今为止，美国LNG出口量达到128亿立方英尺/天，高于上月的123亿立方英尺/天。2022年3月，美国液化天然气出口量创下月度纪录，当时美国出口量为129亿立方英尺/天。
4月交货的品种周一上涨13.4美分，这是即月合约首日交易。3月份的该品种上周五收盘交易价为25.48亿美元。
天然气价格大幅上涨的另一个原因是美国日均天然气产量，从1月份的983亿桶降至本月迄今的975亿桶。造成这种情况的部分原因是美国某些地区的石油和天然气油井因严寒而停产，另一部分原因是2023年天然气价格迄今为止的下跌，能源公司受到惊吓，纷纷削减了活跃的钻机数量。
天气预报员表示，目前的寒流可能会持续到下个月中旬，尽管他们承认未来几天可能会看到温和的天气。
据EIA估计，截至2月17日，美国本土48个州的地下储气库中有21950亿立方英尺，较前一周减少了710亿立方英尺。相比之下，五年同期的平均储量为19060亿立方英尺。去年这个时候，美国地下储气库中有18000亿立方英尺的可用天然气。

The EIA estimates that the United States has 2,195 Bcf of working gas in underground storage in the Lower 48 states as of February 17—down 71 Bcf from the week prior. This compares to a significantly lower five-year average for this time of year of 1,906 Bcf. Last year at this time, the United States had 1,800 Bcf of working gas in underground storage.
