Nothing is coming in. It’s the desert. Temperatures can rise up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius) with 100% humidity.

Qatar’s LNG Blackout Just Broke the Global Gas Market
Iranian drone strikes forced QatarEnergy to halt production at Ras Laffan and Mesaieed, effectively taking one-fifth of global LNG export capacity offline in a single geopolitical event.

The outage embeds a deeper geopolitical premium into LNG markets, heightens competition for cargoes, and may accelerate diversification.
