Iran attack wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for up to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says: Reuters

Two of Qatar's 14 LNG trains (≈14%) and one of two gas-to-liquids facilities (50%) were damaged in strikes by Iran, according to QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi. The losses remove a material portion of Qatar's LNG and GTL capacity and are likely to tighten global gas supply and put upward pressure on LNG prices. Monitor repair timelines, estimated output losses and any regional escalation for additional market effects.
