天然气开启能源新时代——第25届世界天然气大会综述

Natural gas ushers a new energy era——Summary of the 25th World Gas Conference

2012年6月4-8日,第25届世界天然气大会在马来西亚首都吉隆坡举行,会议以"天然气:可持续发展的未来全球能源增长点"为主题,交流总结了2009-2012年以来天然气领域的发展现状和未来趋势。认为天然气逐步成为一次能源结构中不可替代的清洁能源;非常规天然气开发将改变世界天然气供需格局,成为推动天然气发展的重要因素;未来20年LNG需求将增加一倍多,北美LNG出口将影响世界贸易格局;全球天然气价格将以区域性价格体系为主,近期难以形成统一气价;天然气消费需求的增长及能源消费结构的调整加大了对储气库的需求;俄罗斯推行天然气出口新策略,纳布科管道项目遇阻;人力资源竞争激烈,人才是天然气工业可持续发展的重要驱动力。中国的天然气发展势头迅猛,市场空间广阔,将为世界天然气市场的发展注入新的活力。

From 2012-06-04 to 2012-06-08, the 25th World Gas Conference, with the theme of 'Gas: Sustaining Future Global Growth', was held in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. The attendees exchanged and summarized the development of the natural gas sector from 2009 to 2012 and its future trend. With its rapid development in the world, natural gas will play a more important role in future energy development: Natural gas is evolving into an irreplaceable clean energy in the primary energy mix; The pattern of supply and demand of natural gas in the world will be changed following the exploitation of unconventional natural gas, which becomes an important factor in promoting the development of natural gas; In the next 20 years, the demand for LNG will more than double,the export of LNG from North America will influence the world trade pattern; With respect to global natural gas prices, a regional pricing system prevails, and a unified gas price is hardly attainable in the near future; Due to increased natural gas consumption and the adjustment of the energy consumption structure, the demand for gas storage grows; Russia is implementing a new strategy for natural gas exports, but is meeting obstruction in the Nabucco pipeline project; Human resources vied for in the sector are an important driving force for the sustainable development of the natural gas industry. China, in the spotlight of this conference, will provide fresh impetus to the development of the world natural gas sector: China has tremendous potential for the development of natural gas,a vast natural gas market and rich natural gas resources,and China's supply is mainly satisfied by domestic production.
