Russia accounts for the greatest share of proved natural gas reserves of countries worldwide. In 2023, Russia accounted for roughly ** percent of global natural gas reserves, followed by Iran and Qatar. According to the source, proved reserves of natural gas are 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. Worldwide reserves of natural gas reached *** trillion standard cubic meters in 2023.

The Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources dataset shows the locations of the Assessment Units (AUs) in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) World Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources. The assessment was conducted in 2012 and evaluated 313 AUs within 171 geologic provinces (areas where oil and gas occur in commercial quantities). An AU is a mappable volume of rock with homogenous geologic properties. Each AU was assessed for undiscovered oil and gas resources using data from published literature. In each geologic province, total petroleum systems (TPS) were also defined. A TPS is the group of geologic elements needed for oil and gas formation. The Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources dataset provides an understanding of the quantity, quality and distribution of global conventional oil and gas resources. Conventional oil and gas resources, such as crude oil and natural gas, are found in high porosity/permeability reservoirs. Unconventional oil and gas resources are found in low porosity/permeability reservoirs, such as shale and tar sands. Conventional resources are relatively easy to extract from the earth and do not require fracking. The USGS World Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources determined that a total of 565,298 million barrels of oil, 5,605,626 billion cubic feet of gas and 166,668 million barrels of natural gas liquids remained undiscovered as of 2011. All of these resources are conventionally extractable. However, conventional oil and gas resources are dwindling. Knowing where and how much conventional oil and gas remains undiscovered is important for understanding the world’s energy future. The Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources dataset is a geologic basis for making decisions about energy. It can help predict future energy production trends and increase understanding of the social and environmental consequences of oil and gas resource exploitation.

Canadian natural gas consumption is highly variable and is dependent on weather. While Canada is the world’s fifth largest producer of natural gas, production is centralized in Western Canada (primarily in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan). Eastern Canada is connected to production sources via pipelines. In addition to pipeline flows (inter-provincial or to the U.S.), Canada also imports natural gas in liquefied form (LNG), and to a lesser extent exports LNG. When natural gas is cooled to approximately -162° Celsius, it becomes a liquid and significantly shrinks in volume. This process is utilized to transport natural gas via specialized water-borne tankers around the world. Canada has one large LNG import terminal, Canaport, located in Saint John, New Brunswick. Canada also exports and imports LNG via other land-based and water-based ports. In these instances LNG is stored in specialized modular containers. Canada Energy Regulator regulates the export and import of natural gas. Orders or licenses are required to export or import natural gas to and from Canada, including LNG. Holders of these authorizations report monthly on their activities to CER. LNG import and export activities are available by terminal from 2009 to present. Data is delayed by approximately 2 months.

— 'Remaining established reserves', less reserves 'under active development'.

Notes:Total proved reserves of oil - 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 oil does not necessarily

meet the definitions, guidelines and practices used for determining proved reserves at 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, third-party data from the OPEC Secretariat, World Oil, Oil &

Gas Journal and an independent estimates of Russian reserves based on official data and Chinese reserves based on information in the public domain.

Canadian oil sands 'under active development' are an official estimate. Venezuelan Orinoco Belt reserves are based on the OPEC Secretariat and government announcements.

Reserves include gas condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) as well as crude oil.

Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using thousand million barrels figures.

How it can be used: Energy economists and analysts can leverage this dataset to conduct in-depth research into the global oil industry. By examining the changes in oil reserves over time and calculating R/P ratios, one can gain insights into the dynamics of oil production and sustainability. Policymakers can also use this data to inform energy policies and resource allocation, ensuring a more secure and sustainable energy future. Additionally, researchers can explore this dataset to uncover patterns and trends in oil reserves, contributing to a deeper understanding of global energy economics.

The petroleum dataset (PETRODATA) is a dataset of oil and gas fields throughout the world. It includes information about the geographic location of hydrocarbon reserves and is specifically designed for display, manipulation and analysis in geographic information systems (GIS). The attribute table can also be viewed separately, for example, in Microsoft Excel. PETRODATA was compiled for the purpose of investigating the relationship between armed civil conflict and natural resources, but it can also be used to study other consequences of natural resource endowment. While the codebook was written specifically for PETRODATA, the basic structure and coding of the dataset follows a similar dataset on diamond occurrences, DIADATA (Gilmore et al, 2005).
