1 additional source confirmed this story

Shell has announced that full repairs to production train two at the Pearl Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) facility in Qatar will take approximately one year. QatarEnergy confirmed the extended timeline following significant damage sustained during Iranian attacks earlier this week. The Pearl GTL plant is a critical asset, representing the world's largest facility for converting natural gas into high-margin liquid products. This one-year repair window significantly exceeds initial market expectations, posing a challenge to Shell’s production targets and long-term revenue from the Qatari venture. The disruption comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the region that have increasingly targeted vital energy infrastructure. Market participants are now assessing the impact on the global supply of gasoil and other specialized petroleum products during this prolonged outage.
