据天然气加工网站12月10日报道 亚洲液化天然气价格本周上涨，原因是韩国冬季以及印度长期的供热需求。业内人士称，1月份交付至东北亚的液化天然气平均价格升至35.80美元/百万英热单位，较上周上涨1.20美元。

2月份交付的货物价格估计约为34.80美元/百万英热单位。消息人士称，韩国GS能源正在寻求1月份交货的货物，韩国天然气公司则购买了4-6批液化天然气货物，1至2月份交货。土耳其天然气进口公司也在寻求1月和2月交付的5批货物。

两位业内人士周四表示，印度天然气公司H-Energy正在寻求从2022年4月开始的四年内每年交付8批液化天然气货物。

不过，一位天然气买家表示，许多公司已经为冬季采购了现货货物，除非突然出现寒流，否则不太可能需要更多的现货。该消息人士补充称：“目前的价格水平根本不可接受，因此许多人目前已停止采购。”俄罗斯和埃及的供应限制了价格上涨。

消息人士称，俄罗斯诺瓦泰克提供了三批货物在1月至3月期间运往欧洲，埃及的EGAS则提供了一批货物在12月装货。阿布扎比国家石油公司还提供了未来两年内交付的9批货物。本周液化天然气的运费也有所下滑，这有助于支撑货运价格。

Asian LNG prices rise boosted by South Korean winter demand

Asia LNG prices rose this week amid heating demand from South Korea during winter and from India for the longer term. The average LNG price for January delivery into Northeast Asia rose to $35.80 per metric MMBtu, up $1.20 from the previous week, industry sources said.

Prices for cargoes delivered in February are estimated to be about $34.80 per mmBtu, they added. South Korea's GS Energy is seeking a cargo for delivery in January while Korea Gas Corp (KOGAS) bought 4 to 6 LNG cargoes for delivery for January to February, the sources said. Turkish state energy company Botas is also seeking five cargoes for delivery for January and February. 

Still, many companies have already procured spot cargoes for winter and are unlikely to need further volumes unless there is a sudden cold snap, one gas buyer said. "The current price levels are not acceptable at all, so many have halted procurement for now," the source added. Supply was seen from Russia and Egypt which capped price gains.

Russia's Novatek has offered three cargoes for delivery to Europe over January to March, while Egypt's EGAS offered a cargo for loading in December, sources said. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) has also offered nine cargoes for delivery over the next two years. Freight rates to ship LNG have also slipped this week, which helped support cargo prices.
