After Iranian drones hit two of its facilities, Qatar’s state-owned petroleum company says it will suspend production of natural gas.
“Due to military attacks on QatarEnergy’s operating facilities in Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City in the State of Qatar,” says the company in a statement, “QatarEnergy has ceased production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and associated products.”
The company is one of the largest gas companies in the world, and Qatar is the world’s third-largest natural gas exporter.
