Qatar’s LNG exports hit a record daily high on 15 June, despite South Pars attack

After an escalation of the Israel/Iran conflict, Kpler Insight takes a closer look at the implications for LNG players in the region.

On 14 June, Israel expanded its attacks on Iran by striking critical oil and gas infrastructure. Among the targets was the South Pars gas field, jointly owned by Iran and Qatar, which supplies feedgas to Qatar’s 77 mtpa Ras Laffan liquefaction facility. Qatar’s LNG exports have been maintained since the attack, however, an LNG vessel carrying US volume to Kuwait has stopped in its track ahead of passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
