Iranian attacks damaged two LNG units and a gas‑to‑liquids plant in Qatar, wiping out about 17 % of its LNG export capacity.
QatarEnergy CEO Saad al‑Kaabi said repairs could take three to five years, affecting roughly 12.8 million tonnes of annual output and $20 billion in revenue. The company may declare force majeure on long-term LNG contracts with buyers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China.
The disruption adds pressure to global gas markets amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
