QatarEnergy halts select LNG contracts amid Middle East conflict
TL;DR
QatarEnergy has declared force majeure on some long-term LNG supply contracts (including buyers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea and China) due to disruptions tied to the US–Israel war on Iran. Attacks damaged Ras Laffan, cutting about 17% of Qatar’s LNG export capacity and sidelining 12.8 million tonnes of production per year for 3–5 years, with an estimated $20 billion in lost annual revenue, contributing to higher energy prices and tighter supplies to Europe and Asia.
