中國石化新聞網訊 據道瓊斯6月4日消息，Bentek能源公司表示，美國包括乙烷、丙烷和丁烷在內的天然氣液體出口量將從當前的48萬桶/天增加至2019年時的近150萬桶/天。分析師Maria Mejia在休斯敦召開的Benposium大會上表示，一旦美國墨西哥灣沿岸和東北地區計劃中的蒸汽裂解裝置在2017年和2018年陸續建成投產，美國國內天然氣液體需求也將出現增長，尤其是乙烷需求。此外，當前美國乙烷產量水平很高，因此未來五年乙烷的價格仍將保持廉價，預計2019年前將維持在低于50美分/加侖。

US exports of natural-gas liquids, including ethane, propane and butane, will rise from 480k barrels a day today to nearly 1.5M barrels a day in 2019, Bentek Energy says. Domestic demand will also rise, especially for ethane, says analyst Maria Mejia at Benposium in Houston, once planned steam crackers in the Gulf Coast and Northeast are built in 2017 and 2018. Still, ethane production is so high that the product is expected to stay cheap in the next five years, holding below 50 cents a gallon through 2019.
