Poland's Orlen cancelled a long-term LNG supply contract with QatarEnergy, citing force majeure after Iranian attacks damaged Qatar's facilities. The contract, signed in 2009, was priced against oil benchmarks that have surged, and analysts estimate Orlen could save up to $2 billion.
Qatar's force majeure keeps LNG tight and oil-linked gas pricing elevated, which raises energy and fertilizer costs for European and Asian buyers. Orlen's exit from the contract shows how the Gulf supply shock is reshaping gas procurement.
