Major energy corporations have declared force majeure on liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply contracts following a production disruption in the Middle East. Shell plc and TotalEnergies SE are among the primary firms that have notified their customers, particularly those in Asia, that they may be unable to fulfill delivery obligations. This situation stems from a recent announcement by Qatar, the world's second-largest LNG exporter, regarding a production halt at its massive 77 million ton per annum (mtpa) facility.
