路透社引述卡達能源執行長薩阿德·卡阿比（Saad al-Kaabi）指出，伊朗近期對卡達發動的襲擊，已造成該國約17%的液化天然氣（LNG）出口產能受損，位於拉斯拉凡工業港（Ras Laffan）的設施遭到嚴重毀損，預計修復作業需耗時3至5年。該廠先前已因無人機襲擊停產，此次打擊更進一步加劇中東衝突升級。

受供應中斷預期影響，歐洲天然氣期貨一度大漲約35%，價格較衝突爆發前翻倍，顯示戰事對能源供應與通膨帶來持續衝擊；與此同時，龐大的液化天然氣供應缺口將迫使亞洲買家尋求替代來源。

Reuters quoted QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi as saying that recent Iranian attacks on Qatar have damaged roughly 17% of its LNG export capacity, with severe destruction at facilities in Ras Laffan. Repairs are expected to take 3 to 5 years.

The plant had already suspended production following drone strikes, and the latest attack has further escalated tensions in the Middle East.

Amid expectations of supply disruptions, European natural gas futures surged nearly 35% at one point, doubling from pre-conflict levels — a sign of the ongoing impact on energy supplies and inflation. Meanwhile, the large LNG supply shortfall will force Asian buyers to seek alternative sources.
