Qatar Energy is on track to become the largest US LNG buyer, with control over 23.7 million tons per year of supply by 2033.

(1) According to the Financial Times, Qatar's state-owned energy company is expected to become the world's largest buyer of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the early part of the next decade. (2) As Middle East conflicts have cut Qatar's natural gas exports, the country is seeking new supply sources. (3) In late October, QatarEnergy signed two agreements to increase its annual US LNG supply available for sale to international customers by 7 million tons. (4) Including its production share in the Texas Golden Pass LNG project (QatarEnergy holds a 70% stake in the project), by 2033, QatarEnergy is expected to control an annual supply of 23.7 million tons of US LNG. (5) Research institution Wood Mackenzie stated that this will make QatarEnergy the largest buyer of US LNG.
