The Natural Gas Information data service contains time series of annual gas data for both OECD and non-OECD countries from 1960 to 2022. Country aggregates for OECD, IEA, and regional totals are included.
In the OECD files, there is complete supply and demand balances and breakdown of trade by origin/destination. In the World files, there are data on production, total imports and exports, gross inland consumption, and breakdown of imports by origin. The 2022 data are provisional for OECD countries and estimated for non-OECD countries.
