Qatar Petroleum is taking “legal actions” after Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. declared force majeure to halt shipments from Qatar of condensate, a light oil liquid, according to QP’s chief executive officer. An Adnoc official said currently there is no force majeure imposed on Qatari cargoes.
Qatar will continue to supply natural gas via pipeline to the United Arab Emirates and Oman, QP CEO Saad Sherida Al Kaabi told reporters Tuesday at a news conference in Doha. Al Kaabi said force majeure was imposed “illegally” on the condensate shipments.
