Disruptions to liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments from the Middle East, including force majeure declarations impacting Qatari exports until at least mid-August, have prompted Asian buyers to seek alternative long-term supply solutions. Thailand, a significant LNG importer in Southeast Asia, is actively engaged in discussions to secure these alternative supplies.

The full restoration of affected export capacity could take up to five years.
