Why It Matters

EU gas storage entering injection season 14 percentage points below the five-year average. With Hormuz closed and Ras Laffan offline, Europe cannot source replacement LNG at scale. Hitting the legally binding 90% November target requires a record injection pace that currently has no supply basis.
