The war and disruption to Middle Eastern LNG supply has sent shockwaves across global gas markets. The loss of supply from Qatar and the UAE is already pushing price sharply higher and prompting changes in trade flows. A protracted closure of the Strait of Hormuz will cause still higher prices and greater disruptions.

In this webinar, Poten & Partners’ LNG experts examine how the market could rebalance in the face of a sudden loss of Middle Eastern volumes.

We will explore key questions shaping the market outlook including:

• How will the loss of Middle Eastern LNG reshape global trade flows and pricing benchmarks?
• Will reduced LNG availability open the door for Russian pipeline gas to regain market share in Europe?
• How much flexibility exists in the U.S. LNG system? Could operators increase output by deferring maintenance or running their plants hard?
  
• Are we beginning to see signs of renewed competition for cargoes between Atlantic and Pacific Basin buyers?
• How long could such a disruption last — and how quickly could Qatar and the UAE restore full export capacity once the Straits of Hormuz reopen?

Join Poten’s expert analysts as we examine how the LNG market is responding to the most consequential supply disruptions in its history.
