QatarEnergy suspends chemical production

After suspending liquefied natural gas (LNG) production on Monday, QatarEnergy decided to stop production associated products on Tuesday.

“QatarEnergy is stopping the production of some downstream products in the State of Qatar, including urea, polymers, methanol, aluminum and other products,” the firm announced.

On Monday, the firm ceased production of LNG and associated products in facilities in Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City due to “military attacks.”

While several explosions have occurred in the country over the past few days, Qatar’s Defense Ministry said it detected the launch of three cruise missiles, 101 ballistic missiles, and 39 suicide drones toward its airspace since the attacks began on Iran by the US and Israel.
