Domestic LNG Market Data (September 8-12, 2025)

From September 8 to September 12, 2025, the average transaction price of domestic LNG at the factory/gate station was 3,990 yuan per ton, a month-on-month decrease of 1.04%. This week, the domestic LNG price showed a narrow-range fluctuating and consolidating trend.

Currently, although the downstream demand is in a stage of gradual and slow recovery, its overall performance remains relatively sluggish without significant growth. Against this backdrop, most upstream LNG production plants flexibly adjusted their pricing strategies based on their own sales and shipment conditions. The market transaction activity was low, and the overall trading atmosphere appeared quite dull.

In terms of the offshore gas market, some LNG receiving stations in North China adopted measures to control shipment volumes, which drove a slight rebound in local prices.
