Qatar’s prime minister says the country expects to restore normal liquefied natural gas (LNG) production within weeks following damage to part of its Ras Laffan facility. In interviews reported by the Financial Times, Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani states that LNG output will return to normal from the undamaged sections of the facility, with Bloomberg similarly citing the plan to normalize production within weeks.
Other coverage adds context on the disruption, saying QatarEnergy declared force majeure because it was unable to meet contractual obligations. That declaration is linked to multiple Iranian strikes that damaged the Ras Laffan LNG facility in the early phase of the conflict. Qatar is described across reports as one of the world’s largest LNG exporters, making the timing of the return to full output relevant for global supply.
The reports agree on Qatar’s timetable for resuming normal production and the role of facility damage in prompting force majeure, but they do not provide further technical details or specific production targets in the excerpts reviewed.
