QatarEnergy has declared force majeure on long-term LNG supply contracts with customers in South Korea, China, Italy, and Belgium, following missile damage to its Ras Laffan facilities last week amid the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. The attacks, detailed in prior reporting, impacted 17% of Qatar's LNG exports, with repairs expected to take three to five years.
Following Iranian strikes on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG hub, global natural gas prices have surged, though Europe's lower dependence on Qatari supplies limits the impact. Wholesale prices are elevated but remain well below 2022 Ukraine crisis peaks, amid below-average storage levels ahead of winter.

Following Iran's attack on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG facilities, QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi warned of declaring force majeure on long-term contracts, including those with South Korea's KOGAS, as repairs to damaged production trains could take three to five years, sidelining 17% of export capacity. South Korean officials downplayed supply risks due to alternatives.
