Notes: Total 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. The data series for total proved natural gas does not necessarily meet the definitions, guidelines and practices used for determining proved reserves at a company level, for instance as published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, nor does it necessarily represent BP’s view of proved reserves by country.

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.

As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar) and have been standardized using a gross calorific value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3.

World proved gas reserves in 2018 increased by 0.7 Tcm to 196.9 Tcm mainly as a result of increased reserves in Azerbaijan (0.8 Tcm). Russia (38.9 Tcm), Iran (31.9 Tcm) and Qatar (24.7 Tcm) are the countries with the biggest reserves. The current global R/P ratio shows that gas reserves in 2018 accounted for 50.9 years of current production, 2.4 years lower than in 2017. Middle East (109.9 years) and CIS (75.6 years) are the regions with the highest R/P ratio.

Notes: As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15°C and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor and have been standardized using a gross calorific value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3.

Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using billion cubic metres figures.

Natural gas production data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at bp.com/statisticalreview.

*Excludes natural gas converted to liquid fuels but includes derivatives of coal as well as natural gas consumed in gas-to-liquids transformation.Less than 0.05%.

n/a not available.

Notes: As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15°C and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor and have been standardized using a gross calorific value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3.

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.

Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using billion cubic metres figures.

Natural gas consumption data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at bp.com/statisticalreview.

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.

Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using million tonnes oil equivalent figures.

Gas production and consumption registered record-high volumetric increases in 2018. Production increased by 5.2%, the highest rate since 2010 and more than double the 10-year average growth rate of 2.3%. US (86 bcm) and Russia (34 bcm) accounted for almost two thirds of global growth. Similarly, gas consumption increased by 5.3%, with the US (78 bcm) registering the strongest growth on record. China also saw above-average growth of 17.7% (43 bcm).
