Qatar Assesses Damage as Energy Strikes Escalate
Get caught up.
Iran’s attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas field will have repercussions for energy supplies, Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said during a presser in Doha.
The damaged facilities produce about 17% of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas export capacity. It will take three to five years to repair the damage, QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi said in an interview with Reuters. The LNG plant had already halted production after a previous drone strike but the subsequent attacks dealt more damage.
