Gazprom says European gas prices make UGS injection unprofitable

Middle Eastern coverage focuses on the strikes on Qatar’s LNG and related energy infrastructure as a turning point for the global gas market. Commentators in the region say the attack exposes how concentrated LNG production is and how disruptions in the Gulf can quickly raise prices in Europe and Asia. They expect producers and buyers to reassess security at export terminals and possibly sign new long‑term contracts to spread risk.

• •Middle Eastern reports describe the Qatar LNG attack as disrupting a central hub that supplies large volumes of gas to Europe and Asia.
• •Regional outlets say the strikes on energy infrastructure triggered a roughly one‑third jump in European gas prices within a day.
• •Commentary argues that LNG buyers will now pay a higher risk premium for cargoes from the Gulf.
• •Reports suggest that Qatar and neighboring producers may seek more investment in security and backup export routes.
• •Middle Eastern media predict that Asian and European importers will look for additional long‑term LNG contracts to reduce exposure to sudden spot price spikes.
