石油与天然气开采的意外重整,加上最近美国石油需求的下降,导致了美国依赖进口能源需求的急剧下滑。2006年,美国能源净进口量占国内能源消费的30%,而到2012年底,这一份额降至14%。大多数政府和行业预测者预计这一下滑趋势还将持续,美国企业被寄予厚望将国内生产的能源出口到国外。在这篇文章中,我将对美国迅速提高的能源贸易地位、扩张的能源出口面临的政策壁垒和可能卷入的亚洲能源市场作一个概述。 The unexpected restructuring of oil and gas mining, coupled with the recent drop in oil demand in the United States, led to a sharp decline in the United States’ reliance on imported energy. In 2006, the United States net imports of energy accounted for 30% of domestic energy consumption, and by the end of 2012, this share dropped to 14%. Most government and industry forecasters expect this downward trend to continue, with U.S. companies being placed high hopes of exporting domestically produced energy to foreign countries. In this article, I will give an overview of the rapidly rising energy trade status of the United States, the policy barriers to expanded energy exports and the potential involvement of the Asian energy market.
