Qatar to expand LNG production, will not divert supplies to Europe

AL KHARSAAH, Qatar -

QatarEnergy is working to expand its gas production and trading operations as global demand surges and will not divert liquefied natural gas (LNG) contracted with Asian buyers to Europe this winter, CEO Saad al-Kaabi said on Tuesday.

Qatar is already among the world’s top LNG exporters and several European states, facing a spike in energy prices and a fuel supply crunch, have been in talks with the Gulf Arab state to reduce their reliance on Russian energy supplies.
