March 04, 2026 (MLN): QatarEnergy has declared force majeure to its affected buyers after stopping production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and associated products, the company confirmed in a statement.

The world’s largest LNG producer declared that it has ceased production following military attacks on its operating facilities in Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City in the Qatar.

According to the statement issued on Monday, QatarEnergy halted LNG and associated product output due to the attacks on its facilities, prompting the declaration of force majeure to impacted buyers.
