QatarEnergy predicted Qatar's annual losses of $20 billion due to Iran strikes
Iran's attacks have resulted in the loss of approximately 17% of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, equivalent to a reduction of $20 billion in the country's annual revenue. This was announced on March 19 by Saad al-Kaabi, CEO of QatarEnergy and Minister of State for Energy.
"The Iranian attacks have disabled 17% of Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, resulting in a loss of about $20 billion in annual revenue and threatening supplies to Europe and Asia," the Reuters news agency writes.
It is noted that as a result of the Iranian attack, two of the 14 LNG production lines were damaged, as well as one of the two plants for processing gas into liquid fuel.
The scale of the destruction will require a long recovery. The repair work will take from three to five years. During this period, the global market will annually receive about 12.8 million tons of Qatari gas, she added. "Газета.Ru ".
On the same day, Bloomberg reported that the cost of LNG in Europe increased by 35% against the background of Iran's attack on the facilities of the oil and gas company in Qatar, QatarEnergy. It was clarified that the market is currently preparing for a "protracted shutdown" at the critically important LNG center, which provided about a fifth of the world's supply. In addition, rocket attacks on the territory of the industrial city of Ras Laffan led to severe fires at natural gas production facilities owned by QatarEnergy.
