Reuters quoted QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi, stating that Iran's latest attack on Qatar has disrupted about 17% of its LNG export capacity, with severe damage to the Ras Laffan facility. Repairs are expected to take 3 to 5 years. The plant had already been shut down due to a previous drone attack, and this strike further escalates the Middle East conflict. Amid expectations of supply disruptions, European natural gas futures surged by about 35%, doubling in price compared to pre-war levels, highlighting the ongoing impact of the conflict on energy supply and inflation. Meanwhile, the significant LNG supply gap will force Asian buyers to seek alternative sources. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=58370
