European Gas prices just surged 50% after the Qatari LNG production is under attack

We buy the much more expensive US fracking gas. That spike is a minor blip to Europe.

The European Commission has a website listing the top gas suppliers to Europe
…europa.eu/…/where-does-the-eu-s-gas-come-from/

Our main suppliers currently are:

  • Norway - 31.1%
  • United States - 25.4%
  • Russia - 13.1%
  • North Africa - 12.8%
  • United Kingdom - 4.3%
  • Qatar - 3.8%

While Qatar doesn’t provide a huge proportion of European gas, it’s not insignificant either. A disruption in the supply of Qatari gas could very easily cause prices to go up by a lot.

Also not the 13.1% Russian share. This is the last year Russian LNG imports are allowed and imports using short term contracts are banned in two months.
