Qatar's LNG trains S4 and S6 confirmed damaged and out of service.
3 to 5 YEARS of repairs🚨
12.8 million tonnes per year of LNG are Offline.
And here's the twist nobody expected:
ExxonMobil holds 34% of Train S4 and 30% of Train S6.
An American oil major just took a direct hit from Iranian missiles.

The Ghost of Khashoggi's Ghost 🌻@UROCKalt
Hi Guys, Khashoggi's Ghost here. X-Twitter kicked me off mid session and when I tried to log back on, they told me the email address I've used for 16 years on this platform was "incorrect." When I try to reach them they inform me they can't "verify" it, even though ... cont

Remember when Qatar killed more people than this entire war has killed so far just to build World Cup stadiums without having to give workers dignity or decency (with all that $!) & gaslit the world about it? Plus "normal" kafala victims? Sorry not sorry lemonde.fr/en/les-decodeu…

🧵1-TLDR we're fighting for unclear "objectives" in what is primarily a military & narrative warfare campaign, but Iran is simply responding by waging super-obvious, easy to grasp economic & political warfare, inflaming public opinion & tanking the economy, Trump's exact fears🤦♂️

Sal Mercogliano (WGOW Shipping) 🚢⚓🐪🚒🏴☠️@mercoglianos
🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨 Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf. A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water. They were denied permission! Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low. Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock. Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in. What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.
