Qatar Seek Diversified Gas Customers

ENERGY

Qatar is aiming for a diversified customer base for its natural gas the Gulf states energy minister Saad Sherida al-Kaabi told German paper Handelblatt over the weekend.

  • "Just like buyers want to diversify their supplier base, we are keen to diversify our customers," al-Kaabi was quoted as saying, "I don't want to sell all our gas to Germany. Should Germany decide to terminate gas use we would be caught in a trap."

  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is on a trip to Senegal and South Africa, in part to develop potential gas supply deals as Germany develops LNG terminals at pace.
