LNG

Feb 7 (LNGJ) - Two of Europe's largest LNG buyers, France and Spain, are seeing soaring natural gas demand as temperatures drop. France's send-out volume of natural gas in the first five days of February gained almost 30 percent from a year before to 15,793 GWh as freezing temperatures persisted in southern Europe. Demand in Spain has reached new records in the past week. On February 3 Spanish demand was 1,249 GWh and underground storage operated at full capacity to meet demand.
