State-owned QatarEnergy may ​not be able to guarantee some deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) under long-term contracts for up to five years, its CEO said.

QatarEnergy’s CEO, Saad al-Kaabi, said on March 19 that Iranian attacks have knocked out 17 percent of Qatar’s LNG export capacity, causing an estimated $20 billion in annual revenue losses and threatening supplies to Europe and Asia.
