Blast at World's Largest LNG Plant Kills 13, Raises Supply Questions

An explosion at Qatar's Ras Laffan complex, the world's largest liquefaction hub, killed 13 workers and injured 66 on 22 June. Ras Laffan processes gas from the North Field reservoir and supplies Qatar's long-term export contracts across Europe and Asia. The extent of infrastructure damage remains unconfirmed. Any sustained disruption would tighten global LNG markets, where Qatar ranks second only to Australia as an exporter.
