List of countries by natural gas proven reserves

List of countries by natural gas proven reserves

This is a list of countries by natural gas proven reserves based on The World Factbook.[1] Based on data from BP at the end of 2009 proved gas reserves are dominated by three countries: Russia (24 %), Iran (16 %) and Qatar (14 %).[2] A study by Gaffney, Cline & Associates estimates Turkmenistan’s South Iolotan natural gas field reserve at 21.2 trillion cubic meters - far above the BP estimate of 2.9 tcm for this field. This places Turkmenistan's reserves at 25.8 trillion cubic meters, ahead of Qatar but still behind Iran.[3][4]
