據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站10月12日消息 俄羅斯天然氣巨頭俄羅斯天然氣工業(yè)股份公司認(rèn)為歐洲天然氣市場的供過于求不會很快消失，供應(yīng)過剩將持續(xù)到2021年。
據(jù)路透社援引俄氣出口總經(jīng)理埃琳娜•伯米斯特羅娃周一的話報(bào)道稱：“大多數(shù)挑戰(zhàn)和威脅仍然存在。其中之一就是供應(yīng)普遍過剩，我們很可能在2021年也會出現(xiàn)這種情況。”
歐洲市場的供過于求是在今年早些時(shí)候由于冠狀病毒大流行導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)活動疲軟而導(dǎo)致需求下滑的結(jié)果。
2020年春，在需求疲軟和儲存能力有限的情況下，歐洲天然氣供應(yīng)商面臨著減少天然氣流量以防止天然氣價(jià)格進(jìn)一步暴跌的可能性。
由于歐洲主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體正在擺脫社交封鎖，而歐洲大陸的天然氣儲存量在今年這個(gè)時(shí)候創(chuàng)下歷史新高，對天然氣的需求則較為疲軟。天然氣供應(yīng)過剩壓低了歐洲主要樞紐的價(jià)格，如荷蘭TTF基準(zhǔn)價(jià)格。即使在非洲最大的天然氣出口國，俄氣5月底一條重要管道的天然氣流量降至零之后，油價(jià)也沒有太大變動。
俄氣出口定價(jià)部門負(fù)責(zé)人謝爾蓋•科姆列夫上個(gè)月向路透社表示，俄氣今年對歐洲的出口量為1700億立方米，低于2019年的1990億立方米。

原文如下：Gazprom Expects Gas Glut In Europe Will Continue In 2021
Russian gas giant Gazprom doesn’t see the glut in Europe’s natural gas market going away soon, with oversupply extending well into 2021.
“The majority of challenges and threats are still here. One of them is general oversupply, which we are likely to see in 2021 as well,” Elena Burmistrova, Director General of Gazprom Export, said on Monday, as quoted by Reuters.
The glut in the European market was created earlier this year as demand slumped with the coronavirus pandemic that led to a decline in economic activity.
In the spring of 2020, Europe was so awash with natural gas amid weak demand and limited storage capacity that gas suppliers were facing the possibility of cutting flows to prevent natural gas prices from plunging further.
Demand for natural gas was very weak as major economies in Europe were emerging from lockdowns while gas in storage across the continent was at a record high for this time of the year. The natural gas glut depressed the prices at key European hubs such as the Dutch TTF benchmark. Prices didn’t move much even after the biggest gas exporter to the continent, Gazprom, saw its flows on a key pipeline fall to zero at the end of May.
Gazprom sees its exports to Europe at 170 billion cubic meters (bcm) this year, down from 199 bcm in 2019, Sergey Komlev, who heads Gazprom Export’s pricing division, told Reuters last month.
