Damage from Iran attack on Qatar gas facility may reduce capacity for three to five years, says QatarEnergy CEO QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters that the damage caused by Iran’s attack has wiped out 17 percent of their operating capacity. As a result, the company may need to waive liability on long-term contracts for natural gas supplies with Italy, Belgium, Korea and China for up to five years while they are repaired. It will cost around $26 billion to rebuild the damaged infrastructure, al-Kaabi said.
