Market Chatter: Singapore's LNG Fuel Supply Secure Despite Regional Supply Chain Disruption

By

Singapore boasts sufficient LNG replacement cargoes for the rest of 2026, despite supply chain disruptions from Qatar due to the US-Israel conflict with Iran, according to a report by Reuters on Wednesday, citing remarks made by Singapore Energy Market Authority Chief Executive Puah ⁠Kok Keong.

Singapore relies on Qatari supplies for 10% of its natural gas needs, the report said.

However, the city-state's energy market arm has sourced replacement cargoes from suppliers in Australia, the US and Africa, the report added.

Meanwhile, Puah outlined plans to purchase more LNG across the globe to minimize concentration risk, the report noted.
