QatarEnergy halts North Field LNG production Change QatarEnergy suspended liquefied natural gas production tied to the North Field after its facilities were struck, immediately halting exports that supply major European and Asian markets. Why it matters The suspension removes a significant source of seaborne LNG that relies on transit routes including the Strait of Hormuz, tightening short-term physical availability. Traders and buyers will face greater difficulty securing replacement cargoes and increased intraday price volatility.
