专家们指出,到2000年亚太地区LNG的需求将超过供应。预计2005年LNG的缺额将达1500×10~4t～3500×10~4t,2010年的缺额可能过到3000×10~4t～7000×10~4t。印度尼西亚正在扩大邦坦(Bontang)LNG工厂的生产能力,到1999年其LNG年产能力将达2100×10~4t以上。另外印尼计划在纳土纳(Natuna)岛新建一座LNG工厂,它可能在2004年开始运转,其生产能力将达1500×10~4t。由于经济的发展使电力需求增长,印尼LNG的消 Experts point out that by the year 2000, the demand for LNG in the Asia Pacific region will exceed supply. It is estimated that the shortage of LNG in 2005 will reach 1500 × 10 ~ 4t ~ 3500 × 10 ~ 4t, and the shortage in 2010 may exceed 3000 × 10 ~ 4t ~ 7000 × 10 ~ 4t. Indonesia is expanding the production capacity of LNG plant in Bontang. By 1999, its annual production capacity of LNG will reach 2100 × 10 ~ 4t. In addition, Indonesia plans to build a new LNG plant on Natuna Island. It may start operation in 2004 and its production capacity will reach 1500 × 10 ~ 4t. Due to the economic development of the electricity demand growth, Indonesia LNG consumption
