Iran War Costs Energy Sector $58B in Damage Estimates

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has resulted in an estimated $58 billion in damages to energy infrastructure, as reported by Rystad Energy. Significant attacks on oil and gas facilities, including those in Iran, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, have led to over 80 facilities being damaged, with one-third experiencing severe damage. Repair costs could exceed $34 billion, with a projected timeline of up to two years to restore production. Qatar's LNG facility alone faces $20 billion in lost revenue due to attacks. These developments could impact global energy supply chains significantly.
