Global natural gas production 2021

Global natural gas production amounted to some 4.04 trillion cubic meters in 2021, up by 4.8 percent compared to the previous year. The global natural gas share of energy sources is expected to increase in the future. Russia, the United States, and Iran are some of the world's largest natural gas producers.

Supplementary notes

Excludes gas flared or recycled. Includes natural gas produced for Gas-to-Liquids transformation.
Figures were restated based on the latest report.
As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic meters (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from metric tons of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, they do not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
Figures for years not included in the pdf version were taken from the Data workbook of the Statistical Review.
This statistic was compiled using several editions of the report.
