QatarEnergy signed a deal on October 27 to purchase up to 4 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) annually from Cheniere, a Houston-based company, aiming to bolster its position as the world's largest gas trader. This move is part of a broader trend where Gulf state-owned energy companies are securing deals for gas supplies outside their region due to potential constraints on domestic exports and disruptions like the US-Iran conflict, which affected LNG shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. In April alone, QatarEnergy's Golden Pass plant in Texas shipped its first cargo, while other Gulf firms like Saudi Aramco and ADNOC’s XRG have also secured international gas supply agreements to capitalize on rising prices globally.
