Notes: Proved reserves of natural gas – 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.

Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio – If the reserves remaining at the end of any year are divided by the production in that year, the result is the length of time that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at that rate.

Source of data – The estimates in this table have been compiled using a combination of primary official sources and third-party data from Cedigaz and the OPEC Secretariat.

World proved natural gas reserves at end-2011 were sufficient to meet 63.6 years of production. A large increase in Turkmen reserves pushed the R/P ratio for Europe & Eurasia to 75.9 years. The Middle East still holds the largest reserves (38.4% of the world total, compared with 37.8% for Europe & Eurasia) and has an R/P ratio of over 150 years.

Notes: 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.

The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics is due to variations in stocks at storage facilities and liquefaction plants, together with unavoidable

disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of gas supply and demand data.

Notes: The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics is due to variations in stocks at storage facilities and liquefaction plants, together with unavoidable disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of gas supply and demand data.

World natural gas production increased by 3.1% in 2011. While the US saw the largest national increase, the Middle East recorded the largest regional increment to production. Production growth in Russia and Turkmenistan was partly offset by a large decline in European production. Natural gas consumption increased by 2.2%, with below-average growth in all regions but North America. The European Union experienced the sharpest decline in natural gas consumption (–9.9%) on record.
