西方制裁或使俄罗斯对亚洲能源出口加速

据道琼斯9月24日消息，日本国家石油、天然气和金属公司在报告中表示，西方加大对俄罗斯的制裁力度或推动俄罗斯加快对亚洲的石油和天然气出口。该公司称，俄罗斯与西方的关系自7月份马航客机坠毁以来不断恶化，而日本必须和盟友站在一起，但俄罗斯不太可能只选择依靠中国。该公司强调在俄罗斯的客户群中日本对中国起着制衡作用。但并非所有人都像该公司一样乐观。

瑞穗研究所预计，由于缺乏来自西方银行的融资以及北极资源开发必须要有先进技术，俄罗斯新的油气项目可能会大大延迟，这难免会影响到日本的未来供应。在面向日本出口液化天然气的国家中，俄罗斯排名第四，供应量占日本年需求总量的10%。

Western Sanctions Accelerate Russia's Energy Exports to Asia

[Dow Jones] Intensifying western sanctions against Russia would accelerate Russia's oil and natural gas exports to Asia, says Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. in a note. "Russia's relationship with the West deteriorated since the Malaysian air plane crash in July. Japan will have to stay with its allies," but "it is unlikely that Russia chooses to depend only on China," it says, emphasizing Japan's role as a counter balance to China in Russia's customer base. But not everyone is optimistic.

Mizuho Research Institute expects significant delays in new oil and gas projects due to the lack of funding from Western banks and advanced technologies necessary for Arctic resource development, which would inevitably affect future supply for Japan. Russia is the fourth largest liquefied natural gas exporter for Japan, accounting for 10% of its annual demand.
