Asian and European buyers of liquefied natural gas are chasing the limited number of cargoes still available from US suppliers after the world’s largest LNG plant in Qatar was shut out of the market by the war in Iran.
Importers from Japan and Germany are among those in discussions with US LNG companies to buy more of the fuel, particularly for short-term delivery, according to people familiar with the situation who asked not to be because the information is private.
