QatarEnergy is expected to become the world’s largest buyer of U.S. liquefied
natural gas, the Financial Times reports. Reduced exports amid the Middle East
war have prompted Qatar to seek alternative supply. In late October QatarEnergy
signed two agreements to add 7 mtpa of U.S. LNG available for sale to
international customers. Combined with its 70% stake in the Golden Pass LNG
project in Texas, QatarEnergy expects to control about 23.7 mtpa of U.S. LNG by
2033. Wood Mackenzie says that would make it the largest U.S. LNG buyer.
