印度石油部近日表示，由于国内天然气产量停滞不前，印度将在两年内成为天然气净进口国。为支撑经济发展，印度将不得不扩大昂贵的液化天然气（LNG）进口规模。 

India's oil ministry has said,Because the domestic natural gas production is stagnant,India will be in two years to become a net importer of natural gas.To support the development of economy,India will have to expand expensive liquefied natural gas(LNG)Import scale. 

　　据称，2011-2012财年，印度LNG日进口量为3932万立方米，占到其天然气需求的1/4。本财年，这一比例将提高到41%，到下财年，比例还将接近50%。 

it,In fiscal year 2011-2012,India, LNG imports for 39.32 million cubic meters,Account for a quarter of its natural gas demand.The end of the,This ratio will be increased to up to 41%,Until next year,Scale will also close to 50%. 

　　预计，本财年印度天然气产量将从前一财年的1.149亿立方米/天降至1.04亿立方米/天。同期，印度LNG进口量将提高到7300万立方米/天，预计2013-2014财年，将上涨到1.05亿立方米/天，与本财年产量持平。 

Is expected to,The end of the natural gas production in India had fiscal year 114.9 million cubic meters/heaven to 104 million m3 / day.Over the same period,India LNG imports will increase to 73 million m3 / day,Is expected to 2013 - in fiscal year 2014,Will rise to 105 million m3 / day,And the end of the same output. 

　　2014-2015财年，印度LNG进口将增至1.15亿立方米/天，超过同期1.13亿立方米/天的国内天然气产量。 

In fiscal year 2014-2015,India LNG import will be increased to 115 million m3 / day,The same period more than 113 million m3 / day of domestic natural gas production. 

　　据了解，印度石油对外依存度高达79%，严重拖累国家财政。因此，LNG进口量增加对印度而言意味着财政缺口的进一步扩大。 

It is understood,India's oil external dependence is as high as 79%,A heavy drag on national finance.so,LNG imports increase the mean of the Indian financial gap further. 

　　分析指出，印度天然气产量止步不前的主要原因是缺乏价格激励机制。

Analysis shows that the,India stopped natural gas production is the main reason of the lack of price incentive mechanism.

　　英国石油公司和其伙伴印度信实工业近日联名上书印度石油部，要求提高天然气价格，以平衡勘探和开采成本。目前印度本土气价大约为4.2美元/百万英热单位，仅有进口LNG价格的1/3。 

The oil company British petroleum and its partners in the reliance industry recently wrote to the joint India oil,For higher natural gas prices,To balance the exploration and mining cost.Today, India domestic gas price is about $4.2 per million British thermal unit,Only a third of the imported LNG price. 

　　印度政府担心，提高气价有可能增加电价和化肥价格上涨的压力。而企业认为，不少其他国家相继出台了气价激励政策。 

The Indian government worry,Improve the gas price may increase the price of electricity and the pressure of the rising price of chemical fertilizer.And enterprise think,Many other countries have issued the gas price incentive policy. 

　　12月初，阿根廷将井口气价增加2倍，定为7.5美元/百万英热单位，南美LNG进口价格大约在15美元/百万英热单位，和印度处在同一水平；印度邻国巴基斯坦也出台激励海上气田开放的价格机制，浅水、深水和超深水气田天然气价格分别定在7美元/百万英热单位、8美元/百万英热单位和9美元/百万英热单位；中国也在11月份颁布页岩气价格补贴机制，以期推动国内天然气增产。（白晶）
