Energy Minister: LNG cannot be piped
The Minister of State for Energy in Qatar clarified that transporting liquefied natural gas via pipelines is not feasible, as it is liquefied at receiving stations rather than within the pipelines themselves, making the construction of additional facilities economically unviable. He affirmed that Qatar prefers to use other transportation methods and considers the Strait of Hormuz to remain a vital route for cargo transit, despite the damage caused to gas facilities following attacks on Ras Laffan. Repairs are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2027, and production will resume within weeks after the strait reopens. He also noted that Qatar is building the world's largest liquefied natural gas trading hub, with the first line of the Golden Pass project now operational. The second and third lines are expected to be operational next year, along with the construction of the largest ethane cracking unit at the Golden Triangle project.
