与原油不同,天然气市场是区域性的,主要的消费市场有三个:北美、欧洲和亚太。迄今天然气尚未形成全球性基准价,主要价格形式有六种,其中三类(气对气竞争、油价指数,以及政府监管)占世界天然气定价方法(按消费价)的90%左右。当前,我国在天然气产业链各环节中的定价形式分为天然气出厂价实行政府指导价以及管网天然气实行市场调节价两种。 Unlike crude oil, the natural gas market is regional with three major consumer markets: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. To date, natural gas has not yet reached a global benchmark price. There are six main types of natural gas. Three of these types of gas (gas-to-gas competition, oil price index and government regulation) make up about 90% of the world’s natural gas pricing method based on consumer prices. At present, China’s pricing forms in all aspects of the natural gas industry chain are divided into government-led natural gas ex-factory price and market regulation price of natural gas pipeline network.
