QatarEnergy is in talks for more long-term deals to buy US liquefied natural gas, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports. The Financial Times, citing a Wood Mackenzie research estimate, reports that QatarEnergy is expected to control 23.7 million tons a year of US LNG by 2033, more than any other buyer. That total includes two long-term deals signed in late October and a 70 percent stake in the Golden Pass LNG export plant in Texas. The Daily Caller reports the projection alongside the Iran war, which it says is choking Qatar’s own exports. None of the gas is to go to Qatar itself; the company will resell it to other countries.
