Singapore has enough LNG supplies for the rest of the year, energy regulator says

By Curtis Williams

HOUSTON, June 3 (Reuters) - Singapore has secured enough liquefied natural gas cargoes to make up for lost supplies from Qatar for the rest of 2026, ensuring it has 100% of the gas it needs, Singapore Energy Market Authority Chief Executive Puah Kok Keong said on Wednesday in Houston.

  • Replacement cargoes were purchased from Australia, U.S. and African suppliers, Keong told Reuters in an interview.

  • If the Qatar supply disruption - caused by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran - ends in the coming months, Singapore has the option to resell the replacement cargoes, Keong said.

  • Qatar supplies 10% of the natural gas Singapore uses for electricity generation, the equivalent of one cargo per month, Keong said.

  • Singapore is interested in buying more LNG but will do so from diverse suppliers including the U.S., Australia, Africa and the Middle East to reduce risk, said Keong.
