From force majeure to restart: the engineering and project delivery priorities after disruption to LNG infrastructure

Force majeure was declared by several Middle East oil and gas suppliers in the wake of damage received during the early stages of the US/Israel-Iran war. The term is used when conflict, physical damage or a major external event interrupts supply. It can trigger contractual protections, explain missed cargoes and provide a legal frame for disruption. But in LNG, force majeure is only the beginning of the story. The real test starts immediately afterwards, when operators, engineers and project teams have to answer a much harder question: what does it actually take to bring damaged infrastructure back safely, credibly and sustainably into service? Framing an answer is Aghalar Gasimov MEI, Technical Project Interface Leader for North Field Production Sustainability COMP-2, QatarEnergy LNG.

This phenomenon not only marks a significant pivot in the US energy narrative, but also casts a long shadow on the global dialogue concerning environmental sustainability and the transition towards greener energy paradigms, reports Sara Siddeeq.
