The Qatar Conflict Curtailment
2 filers across 1 sector are flagging lower supply conditions. First observed in 2026Q1; no trajectory yet. Primarily a supply story (83%), with a risk overlay (17%). Recent filings describe "QatarEnergy constrained LNG production at its major Ras Laffan facilities." Too early to confirm a trajectory.
