• North America: proved natural gas reserves 2020

Proved natural gas reserves in North America amounted to 15.2 trillion cubic meters in 2020. This was the peak during the period under consideration. Overall, figures increased by nearly six trillion cubic meters. The vast majority of North America's reserves were from the United States, with 12.6 trillion cubic meters of proved natural gas reserves reported in 2020. According to the source, proved reserves of natural gas are generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.

* According to the source, proved reserves of natural gas are generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Further, as far as possible, figures represents standard cubic meters (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar) and have been standardized using a gross calorific value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3.
