Qatar’s Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex has resumed operations following a severe explosion and fire that had halted production and injured dozens of workers.
The restart marks a critical step in stabilizing global gas supplies after the incident triggered a sharp repricing in energy markets earlier this week.
Authorities confirmed that the facility is back online, though the pace of return to full capacity remains unclear.
Despite the operational recovery, natural gas prices remain sensitive to residual supply risks.
Traders are cautious about the potential for further disruptions or delays in reaching pre-incident output levels.
The initial blast, which occurred during restart attempts, left 54 people injured and 18 missing, according to wire reports.
