Region: Worldwide
Survey time period: 1998 to 2016
Supplementary notes: Excludes gas flared or recycled. Includes natural gas produced for Gas-to-Liquids transformation.
As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes 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.
Figures for 2005-2014 were restated in the 2015 edition of the report.
This statistic was compiled using several editions of the report.
