The 2026 CERAWeek conference in Houston is being dominated by the escalating Middle East conflict, forcing energy and logistics leaders to prioritize immediate supply chain resilience over long-term decarbonization. As geopolitical instability threatens key maritime corridors, the 'Davos of Energy' has pivoted toward securing global oil and gas flows against a backdrop of heightened volatility.
Missile attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City have knocked out 17% of the nation's LNG export capacity, with repairs expected to take five years. This disruption threatens global energy security, particularly for India, which relies on Qatar for nearly half of its liquefied natural gas imports.
