Qatar says LNG output is 'very minute', needs weeks after Hormuz reopens to recover

QatarEnergy chief and Energy Minister Saad Sherida al-Kaabi said the company is producing a 'very minute' amount of LNG and could resume normal output a few weeks after the Strait of Hormuz reopens, adding that critical equipment could not reach Qatar because of the crisis.

Why this matters. The world's biggest LNG exporter is largely offline, keeping global gas markets tight until the strait reopens.
