Attacks Against Saudi Arabia: Ramifications

for Natural Gas



October 4, 2019

The attacks against Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure on Saturday, September 14, 2019, poses
consequences for natural gas in the region and globally. Qatar, which borders Saudi Arabia and is one of
the top two liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters along with Australia, exported about 25% of the
world's LNG in 2018. All of Qatar's exports must transit the Strait of Hormuz (see Figure 1), which is a
well-known transit chokepoint. Additionally, LNG exports from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which
were less than 2% of global exports, also transit the Strait of Hormuz; Oman's LNG exports, 3% of global
LNG trade, do not transit the Strait, but are in close proximity.
