Qatar is keen to secure long-term LNG contracts from its North Field expansion by the end of 2023, but it has only been able to secure contracts for 11.9 mn mt per year, S&P writes. Qatar may decide to offer terms that are more lenient than its current 25-year-plus, destination-fixed contracts, as it faces competition not only from the US, but also Oman and Abu Dhabi. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> While several European countries courted Qatar last year for future LNG supplies, only Germany locked in a contract with QatarEnergy. <\/strong> The reluctance from buyers may stem from their desire for shorter FOB contracts to have flexibility for cargo diversion, head of the Middle East gas team for Facts Global Energy in Singapore Siamak Adibi told S&P.
