QatarEnergy - Update on Recent Developments

 

The missile attacks on QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan production hub on Wednesday 18th March 2026 and Thursday 19th March 2026 have resulted in significant damage to its liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and gas-to-liquids ("GTL") infrastructure. Two LNG facilities trains and one GTL facility train have been damaged. As a result of these events, QatarEnergy has determined that this results in the need to declare a force majeure event to some of its affected long-term LNG supply contracts, with counterparties including customers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China impacted by the disruption. Beyond LNG, the attacks have also resulted in materially reduced output of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas, helium, naphtha, and sulphur.

QatarEnergy is continuing to assess the full impact of these recent events on its operations, contractual obligations, and financial position, including the expected repair timeline for the damaged LNG Trains and GTL facility. QatarEnergy intends to keep the market appraised of any material developments as the situation evolves.
