World Natural Gas Industry Development Review 2011

分析了2011年全球天然气储量、产量、国际贸易、天然气消费和价格的发展变化。结果表明:世界天然气工业在2011年回到金融风暴前稳步增长的轨道,但区域发展极不均衡;北美非常规气引领天然气生产和供应,价格竞争力剧增;独联体和中东天然气产量激增,主导全球市场供应;亚洲、中东和南美的新兴市场需求保持旺势;欧洲天然气生产与需求双双下滑;非洲的天然气生产因政局动荡而受到影响;LNG是国际天然气贸易增长的主要推手。

A review on 2011 world natural gas industry development involves natural gas reserves,production,international trade,consumption and price are made.According to analysis,the characteristics of world natural gas industry in 2011 can be concluded as following:(1) gas industry was going back on the track of steady development which has been interrupted during financial crisis,even with different speeds and scales of development in different regions;(2) rapid increase of US unconventional gas production promoted competitiveness of natural gas;(3) soaring in gas production made CIS and Middle East becoming dominant regions on world gas supply;(4) gas demands in emerging markets such as Asia,Middle East and South America remained robust;(5) both production and demand went down in Europe;(6) natural gas production in Africa largely influenced by political unrest;(7) LNG was becoming the main driving of world gas trade growth.
