QatarEnergy halts LNG production after drone attacks

Qatari authorities said Monday that QatarEnergy had suspended liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and related operations after Iranian drone attacks targeted energy facilities in the country.

Axar.az reports, citing Sana News Agency, Qatar’s Ministry of Defense said two drones struck separate energy sites without causing casualties.

One hit a water storage facility at Mesaieed Energy Industrial City, while the other targeted a QatarEnergy-operated installation in Ras Laffan, the country’s main gas-processing hub.

Authorities said damage assessments were underway and further details would be released later.

QatarEnergy later, in an offcial statement on X, confirmed a temporary halt to LNG production:

"QatarEnergy to stop production of LNG. Due to military attacks on QatarEnergy’s operating facilities in Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City in the State of Qatar, QatarEnergy has ceased production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and associated products. QatarEnergy values its relationships with all of its stakeholders and will continue to communicate the latest available information."

The suspension comes amid escalating regional tensions, as Iran continues launching missile and drone attacks following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.
