The United States, which was the world's leading natural gas-producing country in 2024, had no variation in annual production of natural gas that year. Of the leading natural gas producing countries in the world, Russia had the largest year-over-year increase that year, at nearly 43.5 billion cubic meters. The U.S. natural gas industry The total volume of natural gas produced worldwide amounted to 4.19 trillion cubic meters in 2024. The U.S. is not only the world’s largest natural gas-producing country, it is also the largest exporter of natural gas (including liquefied natural gas). Nevertheless, the largest share of gas produced in the country is consumed domestically. U.S. shale gas revolution Due to advances in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) technology and horizontal drilling, shale gas resources in the U.S. became economically feasible to develop. Shale gas production has also offset production declines from conventional resources in the country. This development has increased U.S. natural gas reserves considerably.

As of 2024, the United States was the biggest producer of natural gas in the world. With a production of approximately ************* cubic meters that year, U.S. natural gas production was over *********** cubic meters more than the second biggest producer - Russia. These two nations are by far the biggest contributors to natural gas production on the planet. In 2024, global natural gas production reached a peak of ************* cubic meters. Global natural gas reserves Global proved natural gas reserves totaled nearly 209 trillion cubic meters in 2024. The Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States are home to the largest regional natural gas reserves. The country with the largest proved natural gas reserves is Russia, which holds *********** cubic meters in 2024. In the previous year, Russia’s state-owned energy group Gazprom held a **** percent share of global natural gas. Natural gas trade In addition to having the largest natural gas reserves, Russia is also one of the world’s leading gas exporting country. The majority of Russia’s gas exports are via pipelines, and in 2024 it exported approximately ************* cubic meters through this method. In comparison, Qatar is the third largest natural gas exporter, but is the leading LNG exporting country.

In 2024, the United States was the largest natural gas producer worldwide, followed by Russia. That year, natural gas production in the United Arab Emirates amounted to *** exajoules. The natural gas industry is expected to expand worldwide in the following years.

The dataset contains the country-wise production of Natural Gas. It should be noted that the units were given in Billion cubic metres since 2014. Prior to it, the figures were given in Million Tonnes Oil Equivalent.
