Qatar Seeking To Control Libya’s Oil & Gas Sector

Qatar informed the United States of the possibility of meeting Europe’s gas and oil needs, provided that it manages the petroleum facilities in Libya and told the Americans that their influence still exists in Libya, provided they give a green light and pressure the French to agree to a greater Qatari role in managing major Libyan oil facilities.

The US and Europe are looking for alternative supplies to Russian gas, as part of their sanctions on Moscow, due to its military operation in Ukraine.
