Gas Field Attacks Rock Global Energy: Prices Soar, Supply Chains Threatened
•The South Pars–North Dome gas field, the world's largest, and Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City, a major LNG export hub, have been attacked.
•The South Pars–North Dome field holds 25% of global proven gas reserves, while Ras Laffan handles nearly 20% of global LNG trade.
•UAE's Habshan Gas Processing Plant also halted operations, indicating a broader risk to energy infrastructure in the Gulf region.
•Oil prices surged to $115 per barrel, and LNG markets anticipate tighter supply and potential cargo rerouting.
•Disruptions to these critical facilities, which account for significant global gas reserves and LNG trade, will constrain Middle East LNG supply for months.
