A source  told Bloomberg that QatarEnergy told buyers it expects to raise output very quickly once safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is restored. The company plans to increase output to about 50 percent of capacity a month to reach roughly 80 percent within two months – a much faster recovery than some analysts and traders expected.
