???? 據(jù)管道&天然氣雜志網(wǎng)3月4日?qǐng)?bào)道，IHS Markit高級(jí)主管Matthew Palmer表示，美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)天然氣消費(fèi)將在2030年左右達(dá)到峰值，但不斷增加的管道和液化天然氣(LNG)出口將使對(duì)這種燃料的需求持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)至2050年。
????Palmer在IHS Markit的CERAWeek會(huì)議上表示，將這些天然氣從生產(chǎn)地轉(zhuǎn)移到可以消費(fèi)或出口的地方將變得越來越具有挑戰(zhàn)性。
????他稱，IHS Markit預(yù)計(jì)，在從西弗吉尼亞州到弗吉尼亞州的價(jià)值58億-60億美元的Mountain Valley天然氣管道投入使用后，不會(huì)建設(shè)任何新的大型州際天然氣管道，預(yù)計(jì)改管道最早將在今年年底投入使用。
????Palmer表示，法院系統(tǒng)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)以及建設(shè)這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施項(xiàng)目的費(fèi)用使得這些項(xiàng)目很難繼續(xù)進(jìn)行下去。
????由于與各州和環(huán)保組織在監(jiān)管和法律上發(fā)生爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)特朗普政府頒發(fā)的許可證存在問題，美國(guó)幾條油氣管道近年來被拖延，Mountain Valley是其中之一。
????美國(guó)液化天然氣公司Tellurian Inc.首席執(zhí)行官奧克塔維奧·西姆斯（Octávio Sim?es）在CERAWeek的一個(gè)小組會(huì)議上表示，如果我們不在美國(guó)各地建立合適的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，我們基本上是在告訴全世界，他們無法獲得我們的天然氣。
????然而，中游行業(yè)高管也在會(huì)議上表示，投資者對(duì)環(huán)境、社會(huì)和公司治理(ESG)問題的關(guān)注，使得為北美新管道融資變得更加困難。

????Pipelines Needed for U.S. Natural Gas Export Demand Growth
????U.S. domestic consumption of natural gas will peak around 2030 but rising pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports should keep demand for the fuel growing through 2050, Matthew Palmer, senior director at IHS Markit, said.
????Moving that gas from the states where it is produced to places where it can be consumed or exported, however, will become increasingly challenging, Palmer said at IHS Markit's CERAWeek conference.
????He said IHS Markit does not expect any big new interstate gas pipes to be built after the $5.8 billion-$6.0 billion Mountain Valley pipeline from West Virginia to Virginia enters service, expected earliest by the end of the year.
????"The challenges in the court system and the expense of building these infrastructure projects have made them very difficult to proceed with," Palmer said.
????Mountain Valley is one of several U.S. oil and gas pipelines delayed in recent years by regulatory and legal fights with states and environmental groups that found problems with permits issued by the Trump administration.
????"If we don't create the right infrastructure across the United States, we're basically telling the world that they can't have access to our natural gas," Octávio Sim?es, chief executive of U.S. liquefied natural gas company Tellurian Inc said on a CERAWeek panel.
????"People need energy now and the only way to lower the global carbon footprint is with gas," Sim?es said, noting the United States lowered its carbon emissions when the power sector started burning more low-cost gas and less coal.
????However, investor focus on environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues is making it more difficult to finance new pipelines in North America, midstream industry executives also said at the conference.
