The Iranian drone strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial complex has sent shockwaves through global energy markets, triggering force majeure on 20 percent of the world’s LNG supply and closing the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. To understand what just happened and what comes next, Decouple is joined by Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg’s leading LNG correspondent and one of the few journalists who has spent years tracking the shadow fleets, supply chains, and geopolitics that sit behind the world’s fastest-growing fossil fuel market.

This conversation traces how Qatar came to sit atop the world’s most consequential gas reservoir, why Iran was never able to monetize its side of the same field, and how the shale revolution gave Washington the geopolitical freedom to let this crisis unfold. Stephen discusses the Arctic Metagas, the first LNG carrier ever successfully attacked, and what its destruction in the Mediterranean signals about a world in which the affordable, reliable LNG that was supposed to be the bridge fuel for the developing world was always premised on freedom of navigation holding.
