Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani has said the Gulf nation expects to restore normal liquefied natural gas (LNG) production within weeks, as signs of progress emerge in US-Iran peace negotiations aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. QatarEnergy, which operates the world's largest LNG export facility at Ras Laffan, has seen production largely disrupted since Iranian attacks in early March damaged two LNG production trains and contributed to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
