The United States succeeds, and it has become the number one exporter of natural gas, and European countries have become "leek"

According to RT RT, the US Energy Information Administration said that in the first half of 2022, the United States became the world's largest liquefied natural gas exporter.

After the United States becomes an exporter of oil, the amount of natural gas exports is also increasing day by day, but due to the high price and some unequal conditions, the sales volume has always been average. Additional conditions are imposed on other countries.

Therefore, although there are many natural gas exports in the United States, it is not the top. However, the United States has now become the country with the largest export of LNG. The rapid progress of the United States in the export of natural gas is directly related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It can even be said that one of the purpose of the United States to provoke Russian and Ukraine's conflict is to grab the natural gas market with Russia.

In Europe, Natural Gas and Russian natural gas have been competing. The advantages of Russia's natural gas are obvious, the transportation is convenient, and the transportation cost is extremely low. There is no need to establish additional facilities to store it.

Another advantage of Russia is that Russia has always been a large energy exporter and has been deeply cultivated in the energy field for a long time. It is an old player. As early as 1930, the Soviet Union proposed that natural gas was widely used in civilian and industrial fields. Around 1940, they began to export natural gas to Poland. In 1946, Moscow achieved natural gasization.

Although the United States is unwilling to fall behind, the Soviet Union has surpassed the United States in terms of natural gas proven reserves and output. Even if "World War I", "World War II" and "Cold War" broke out in mainland Europe, as early as 1968, NATO countries in Europe used Russia's natural gas.

It can be seen that the cooperation between Russia and Europe has a broad and solid foundation, and does not abandon cooperation because of extreme opposition. Instead, it has cooperated for decades. The main body of the Soviet Union has become Russia. Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe has been turbulent, and it has not affected natural gas cooperation in continental Europe.

Although the United States is a traditional allies in Europe, the United States is not a traditional energy export country in the traditional sense. The United States can become energy exporters, mainly because of the rapid advancement of mining technology. So the United States is far behind Russia in time.

This means that after decades in Moscow with Europe, the United States wants to split a cake in the natural gas market in Europe, which is quite difficult.

Therefore, the United States began to engage in some out -of -the -ory tricks. This is particularly obvious during the Trump period. When signing a trade contract with some European countries, it often adds one -buying a batch of natural gas from the United States. But even so, there is not much improvement. This crushed method cannot shake the position of Russia's natural gas in the European market.

After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, everything changed. The United States forced the European Union and Russia's energy to Brexit. Multiple rounds of sanctions issued by the European Union involved Russia's energy field.

However, because Europe's dependence on Russia's natural gas is too large, it cannot be decoupled with Russia in the field of natural gas in a short time, so only some small countries have to pay Russia's natural gas to buy Russian natural gas according to the meaning of Russia.

This is enough for the United States. The United States took the opportunity to export a lot of natural gas to Europe.

Data show that the import volume of natural gas in the EU and Britain in the first half of the year increased by 63%, while more than 70%of the LNG produced in the United States sold to the European Union and the United Kingdom.

LPG natural gas is to treat natural gas ultra -low temperature and let it liquefy. The main purpose is to transport. The advantage of Russia's natural gas is that they do not need to transport natural gas for liquefied transportation, and can be directly transported from pipelines to EU countries.

The EU is unwilling to buy the US natural gas because of transportation problems. The process of natural gas liquefaction is quite complicated and costs high, and it will be lost during the processing process. In addition, the receiver must establish supporting facilities for storage, and this cost is also very high. Therefore, the US natural gas is at least 30-40% more expensive than the natural gas transported by Russia through the pipeline.

This factor alone is destined to be in the European continent, not a Russian natural gas opponent. Therefore, the United States uses foreign tricks to provoke Russian and Ukraine conflict, and use this opportunity to allow the United States to capture the European market.

Judging from the data of this half year, the United States has indeed succeeded. In fact, the United States not only sells a large amount of high -priced natural gas to Europe, but also sells a large amount of low -priced oil at high prices to Europe by monopolizing Russia to discount oil. Therefore, European countries are pure "leeks". Russia and Ukraine's conflict lasted for less than half a year, and they were cut by several stubbles by the United States.
