Qatar loses 17% LNG output after Iranian attacks, Europe and Asia at risk
D ​Iranian attacks have knocked out 17% of Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, causing ⁠an estimated $20 billion in lost annual revenue and threatening supplies to Europe and Asia, QatarEnergy's CEO told Reuters on Thursday. Saad al-Kaabi said two of Qatar's 14 LNG trains and one of its two gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities were ‌damaged in the unprecedented strikes. The repairs will sideline 12.8 million tons per year of LNG for three to five years, he said in an interview. "I never in ‌my wildest dreams would have thought that Qatar would be - Qatar and the region - ‌in ⁠such an attack, especially from a brotherly Muslim country in the month of Ramadan, attacking ⁠us in this way," said Kaabi, who is also Qatar's minister of state for energy affairs.
