ORLEN terminates one QatarEnergy LNG supply agreement
Catch-up: the 10 November notice concerns a 1 mtpa oil-indexed contract.
The story explained
ORLEN said on 10 November 2026 it had exercised its right to terminate one of two QatarEnergy LNG contracts because ongoing force majeure prevented delivery obligations being met. The affected oil-indexed agreement covers 1 million tonnes annually.
Signed in 2009, deliveries began in 2016 and were originally due through 2034. It remains effective for 60 days after notice. The estimated EUR 570 million, or PLN 2.5 billion, value for 2026 is not a termination payment.
The second, gas-indexed agreement continues through 2034. ORLEN says its fields and long-term contracts cover group requirements. That supply-security assessment is the company’s statement; the notice establishes neither terminal closure nor cancelled equipment orders.
