中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)油價網(wǎng)7月26日報道稱，由于歐洲各地的熱浪開始減弱，天然氣庫存居高不下，歐洲市場氣價下跌。
荷蘭TTF中心的天然氣即月期貨價格當(dāng)日下跌6%，降至每兆瓦時34美元。
根據(jù)歐洲天然氣基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施公司的數(shù)據(jù)，至7月24日，歐盟天然氣儲存點已滿84%。
當(dāng)日，歐洲基準(zhǔn)天然氣價格在阿姆斯特丹期貨市場盤中下跌了近6%，抵消了當(dāng)天早些時候的漲幅，因為整個南歐的熱浪開始減弱，天然氣庫存很高，儲存量有望提前于歐盟的目標(biāo)。
格林尼治標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時間12時8分，歐洲天然氣交易基準(zhǔn)TTF中心的即月期貨交易價格為每兆瓦時34美元（30.75歐元），當(dāng)日下跌5.8%。
此前有消息稱，挪威近海Dvalin氣田的維護(hù)工程將延長至本周末，而挪威其他設(shè)施的工程計劃于下個月進(jìn)行。當(dāng)天早些時候，天然氣價格達(dá)到每兆瓦時37.60美元（34歐元），但隨著時間的推移而下跌。
意大利歷史新高的高溫開始緩解，減少了對天然氣發(fā)電的需求。由于歐洲主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體的經(jīng)濟(jì)放緩，工業(yè)需求也比前幾年有所下降。
此外，歐盟的天然氣儲存水平很高，遠(yuǎn)高于五年平均水平和去年同期水平，緩解了人們對歐洲天然氣供應(yīng)的擔(dān)憂。

Europe’s Natural Gas Prices Fall As Heatwaves Abate
Europe’s natural gas prices fell on Wednesday as the heatwave across Europe started to abate and inventories remained high.
Front-month futures at the TTF hub fell by 6% on Wednesday, dropping to $34 per megawatt-hour.
The EU gas storage sites were 84% full as of July 24, according to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe.
Europe’s benchmark natural gas prices fell by nearly 6% mid-day in Amsterdam on Wednesday, erasing gains from earlier in the day, as the heatwave across southern Europe started to abate and gas inventories are high with storage sites on track to be full well in advance of EU targets.
The front-month futures at the TTF hub, the benchmark for Europe’s gas trading, traded at $34 (30.75 euros) per megawatt-hour (MWh) as of 12:08 p.m. GMT on Wednesday, down by 5.8% on the day.
Early on Wednesday, prices rallied by 5% after news broke that maintenance works at the Dvalin gas field offshore Norway would be extended to the end of this week, while works are planned at other Norwegian facilities next month. Earlier today, prices hit $37.60 (34 euros) per MWh, but fell as the day progressed.
The record high temperatures in Italy are starting to ease, reducing demand for gas-powered electricity generation. Demand from industry is also lower compared to previous years, due to the slowdown in major economies in Europe.
In addition, EU gas storage levels are high—much higher than the five-year average and the levels from this time last year, easing concerns about Europe’s gas supply.
The EU gas storage sites were 84% full as of July 24, according to data from Gas Infrastructure Europe.
