Poland’s Orlen has decided to exit a long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply contract with QatarEnergy. The move comes as the company expands its portfolio of US LNG suppliers and adapts to ongoing disruptions in Qatari deliveries to Europe.
The termination of the Qatar supply contract follows months of scarce shipments from Qatar to Europe. Orlen is now targeting deliveries from Plaquemines, aiming to receive these supplies in early November.
The global LNG market continues to adjust to these changes, with Orlen’s decision reflecting broader shifts in supply dynamics. The company’s shift toward US LNG exports highlights the growing role of American suppliers in the European energy landscape.
