Qatar’s state owned energy firm QatarEnergy has stretched its Qatar LNG force majeure on liquefied natural gas deliveries. The measure covers customers in Asia and Europe and will now last until the end of November. Bloomberg reported the news, citing sources.

Qatar LNG Force Majeure Gets Another Month

Bloomberg described the decision in these words. “Qatar has extended the force majeure on liquefied natural gas supplies to Asia and Europe by another month… State owned QatarEnergy this week notified Pakistan and Bangladesh that the LNG supply cancellation will last until the end of November.”

India and Italy Also Affected

Two sources told the agency that at least one Indian buyer has also been informed. The measure will stay in force for that customer too.

Italian company Edison SpA said its deliveries will remain suspended until early December, the Bloomberg report added. The Qatar LNG force majeure therefore touches buyers in several countries.
