In 2021, Mozambique had the highest reserves-to-production ratio in Africa, at *** years. Tanzania had the second highest ratio on the continent, which was *** years. A reserves-to-production ratio gives an estimate of how long operational natural gas fields will remain productive, assuming that no new reserves are discovered, and taking into account only the 2021 production rates.

In 2021, Gazprom held 15 percent of the world's natural gas reserves. The figures have displayed a decrease since 2016. Gazprom is one of the largest natural gas extractors in the world.

By 2050, Africa would account for ** percent of the global natural gas production. This would be an increment of five percentage points compared to 2021. In that year, natural gas production in Africa reached ***** billion cubic meters, with Nigeria and Algeria counting the highest volume of natural gas reserves on the continent.

This table shows the supply and consumption of natural gas as a balance sheet. The supply of natural gas is calculated as the sum of indigenous production, production from other sources, imports minus exports, minus delivery of fuels for international shipping (bunkers) plus stock changes. The supply is equal to the amount of natural gas used in the Netherlands in the same period.

This consumption is broken down by how it's delivered by the gas distribution network. This consists of a main grid and connected regional grids. Large-scale consumers, like power plants and large companies, receive the gas directly from the main distribution network. Small-scale consumers, including households, receive their natural gas through the regional grids. Then a small amount of natural gas is used in the indigenous production and transportation of natural gas. Finally, there is flared and vented natural gas.

Natural gas producers are facing turbulent times. Europe has traditionally relied on Russia and Norway as internal sources of natural gas, while countries such as the US, Qatar and Algeria are major sources of imports (although accounting for a much smaller share of overall consumption). Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shaken up Europe’s natural gas supply structure, with European governments making efforts to reduce their dependence on Russian gas supplies. Revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 16.2% to €113.9 billion over the five years through 2025. Revenue expanded in 2021 and 2022 as a sharp hike in natural gas prices and a post-pandemic rise in demand drove an increase in exploration and production activity. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a spike in natural gas prices, with the impacts of reduced demand for gas and a decrease in Russian gas production outweighed by soaring wholesale prices and heightened demand for other natural gas reserves, spurring a jump in revenue. An ongoing reduction in demand for natural gas and easing prices caused revenue to dip in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, revenue is slated to bounce back by 53.3% owing to geopolitical uncertainties, including trade wars and fresh sanctions on Russia, buoying natural gas prices. Revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 2.3% over the five years through 2030 to just under €128 billion. The gas market will continue to be shaped by geopolitical tensions into the medium term, with the International Energy Agency expecting natural gas prices to remain high until 2025 as countries continue to shift their supply structure. Following this, natural gas demand and prices are set to fall as Europe continues to expand its renewables capacity.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual and quarterly time-series data from 1960 onwards on energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for the OECD member countries and non-OECD countries worldwide.

In OECD member countries the data are collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries, the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) Natural Gas Information database contains time-series of annual gas supply balances for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries from 1960 onwards. World statistics include data on production, total imports and exports and gross inland consumption. For the OECD countries, more detailed information on supply and consumption by sector, and trade by origin and destination is available. This database is updated by the IEA once each year with a preliminary release for select countries releasing earlier in the year.

These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in June 2005 and are updated semi-annually.
