Before the war, the global market for liquefied natural gas was increasingly commanded by just two countries, one of which has now been hobbled.
Pakistan has issued a new tender for LNG, to the amount of 1 million tons, The Nation reported today, citing the seasonal increase in electricity demand as summer heat sets in. This is the fourth LNG tender for the spot market over the last two months as the country grapples with the fallout from the war in the Middle East. Not all of these tenders have resulted in delivery contracts as in some cases even the lowest bids were deemed too expensive for Pakistan LNG Limited, the state-owned operator. Pakistan has relied on Qatar's term LNG supplyโฆ

Indiaโs LNG imports are rising amid one of the most expensive Asian gas markets in years, defying the regional pattern of demand destruction that has pushed other buyers toward coal, nuclear and energy conservation. After Qatar shut down natural gas production on March 2 and the Strait of Hormuz closed almost simultaneously, Asia lost roughly 5.5 million-6 million tonnes of LNG supply a month, equivalent to almost a quarter of regional pre-crisis export flows. Asian LNG imports fell to 18.8 million tonnes in April, the lowest since 2020,โฆ

The Middle East conflict has triggered sweeping, multi-commodity supply shocks, profoundly impacting global energy, petrochemicals, agriculture and shipping industries, among others. The disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz--which handles nearly 27% of the global maritime oil trade--has triggered historic shortages and long-term operational strain on Gulf energy infrastructure, with estimates that repairing damaged liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Qatar could take up to five years. Even with ongoing de-escalation efforts,โฆ

The sudden halt of liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows from the Middle East has prompted Asian buyers to seek long-term solutions to secure supply from sources not needing the blocked Strait of Hormuz. As Qatarโs LNG shipments are under force majeure until at least mid-August and full LNG export capacity may not be restored for another five years, LNG customers are looking to sign long-term supply deals with exporters outside of conflict areas. Thailand, the top LNG importer in Southeast Asia, is now looking to boost its U.S. gas supply toโฆ

QatarEnergy said it would extend the force majeure on its exports of liquefied natural gas until the middle of August, Reuters has reported, citing Italyโs Edison, which has a long-term supply deal with the Qatari company. Originally, the force majeure was set to run until early July. The declaration followed Iranian strikes on Qatarโs LNG hub that caused extensive damage. In a notice to buyers, the state energy giant said in early March that the declaration follows its decision to halt LNG and associated production after Iranian strikesโฆ

Two liquefied natural gas carriers and a supertanker have traversed the Strait of Hormuz over the past couple of days, with the LNG vessels heading for Pakistan and China, and the tanker, loaded with Iraqi crude, is en route to China. According to a Reuters report, the vessels used the route that Iran has told all ships to use from now on. The LNG carriers are loaded with Qatari gas, the report said, citing data from LSEG and Kpler. At least one of the vessels was loaded in late March. The supertanker carrying Iraqi Basrah crude loaded its cargoโฆ

The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, now in an unstable ceasefire, has exposed a structural failure in the global semiconductor memory supply chain, and it is not the one analysts seem to be tracking. The story receiving attention is helium: Qatarโs Ras Laffan facility went offline, a 45-day inventory clock started running, and spot prices doubled within days. The story receiving almost no attention is bromine, and it is potentially the more dangerous one.
