Germany has started receiving liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Oman amid Middle East conflicts affecting global supply. A contract signed in 2023 allows for these deliveries, which are seen as a positive amidst tightening energy supplies. However, Germany's gas supply chain may be more vulnerable than it appears, with only a small percentage of imports coming from its own LNG terminals. Current storage levels are low, and market conditions are uncertain, leading to potential price volatility.
