Qatar LNG Exports Decline; Doha Seeks Long-Term Supply from Louisiana
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Kpler forecasts a sharp decline in Qatar's LNG exports, noting that Qatar has shifted from being a major global seller to a buyer. QatarEnergy is in advanced talks with Venture Global for a long-term supply of at least 3 million tons of LNG annually from Venture Global's CP2 plant in Louisiana. Additionally, QatarEnergy signed a separate deal with Cheniere for up to 4 million tons a year through 2054. The decline is linked to damage caused by Iranian missiles hitting Ras Laffan, which removed 12.8 million tons a year of export capacity.

Why it matters
