Qatar Maintains Gas Output Despite Israeli Strike
Imagine a big gas field shared by Qatar and Iran.
Recently, there was an attack on this field by Israel, which caused some problems.
Qatar says they're still making gas as usual, and the companies working there are international.
This has made some people worry about gas supplies and caused prices to go up a little.
There are also a few tankers waiting to load gas, which might be delayed.
This is all happening at the same time as a conflict between Israel and Iran.
Qatar states its gas production at the South Pars field is steady despite an Israeli strike.
The strike occurred on Saturday, prompting Iran to partially suspend production.
Qatar is the world's third-largest LNG exporter.
LNG prices rose to $13.948 per million British thermal units (mmBtu) on Tuesday.
Qatar Energy has instructed tankers to remain outside the Strait of Hormuz.
