A Qatari energy official warned on Tuesday that neither his country or any other single country has the capacity to replace Russia's gas supplies to Europe with liquified natural gas (LNG) if those exports are cut off due to Russia's actions against Ukraine.
Saad al-Kaabi, Qatar's minister of state for energy affairs, said that his country's volumes are locked up in long-term contracts, a majority of which with Asian buyers. Al-Kaabi said that the amount of divertable volumes that can be sent to Europe is only 10 to 15 percent, Reuters reported.
"Russia [provides] I think 30-40 percent of the supply to Europe. There is no single country that can replace that kind of volume, there isn’t the capacity to do that from LNG," al-Kaabi said at a gas conference in Doha. "Most of the LNG are tied to long-term contracts and destinations that are very clear. So, to replace that sum of volume that quickly is almost impossible."
