TotalEnergies to honour all LNG contracts despite Qatar outages

TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said the company will not declare force majeure to any LNG customers and will honor all LNG contracts in both price and volume. The statement removes immediate counterparty risk around contracted supply and should reassure buyers and counterparties. This is a company-specific operational/contractual assurance and is unlikely to move broader energy markets absent further developments.
