With Qatar’s liquefied natural gas shipments taken offline from the Iran war, Houston-based Cheniere Energy has become the world’s leading LNG exporter and CEO Jack Fusco said he is literally answering phone calls of “Help!” from Asia as a potential supply crisis begins to unfold.

“We’re going to try to get as many molecules as we can to those countries in Asia that really need it. But it’s a 28-day journey from the Gulf Coast to anywhere in Asia, so it’s not going to happen overnight,” Fusco said at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston.
