• Middle East: Natural gas reserves and production

  May 1, 2013
  According to the latest data from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the Middle Eastern countries hold about 40.5 per cent of the world’s total proven gas reserves.

• Middle East: Pipeline infrastructure and LNG fleet

  May 1, 2013
  The pipeline infrastructure in most of the Middle Eastern countries is inadequate as the customer base for marketed natural gas is quite small.

• Middle East: Trends in import and export of natural gas

  May 1, 2013
  The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the most significant importer of natural gas, due to its stagnating domestic production and simultaneously rising internal demand and its fixed long-term LNG export commitments.

• South East Europe: Natural gas production 2008-2011

  April 1, 2013
  The countries in South East Europe have minimal conventional gas reserves, and as a result most have very low levels of gas production.

• South East Europe: Natural gas consumption 2008-2011

  April 1, 2013
  Natural gas consumption in South East Europe, in line with the rest of the continent, has declined over the last four years after the onset of the global financial crisis.

• South East Europe: Natural gas imports and exports 2008-2011

  April 1, 2013
  Every country in South East Europe with the exception of Albania is heavily dependent on exports.

• Latin America: Natural gas reserves 2007-2011

  March 1, 2013
  According to the latest data from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Latin America holds about 4 per cent of the world’s total proven gas reserves.

• Latin America: Natural gas production 2007-2011

  March 1, 2013
  Despite holding the largest natural gas reserves in Latin America, Venezuela’s production levels are very low.

• Latin America: Imports and exports of natural gas 2007-2011

  March 1, 2013
  About 40 Bcm of natural gas was imported by Latin American countries in 2011.

• United States: Natural gas production and consumption trends

  February 1, 2013
  Natural gas production in the US has steadily increased over the last five years. In 2011, the dry production amounted to 22.90 trillion cubic feet (Tcf).

• United States: Trends in import and export of natural gas

  February 1, 2013
  Imports of gas in the US have been steadily declining over the last few years. This is because of the increasing availability of shale gas in the country.

• United States: Key pipeline projects under development

  February 1, 2013
  Table 1 provides a list of the key pipeline projects under development in the US. These include expansion plans for existing pipelines and new pipelines.

• Trinidad and Tobago: Reserves and production

  January 1, 2013
  Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) is a leading producer of oil and gas in the Caribbean and its economy relies heavily on the export of these resources.

• Trinidad and Tobago: Domestic consumption and exports

  January 1, 2013
  Gas is used extensively by the domestic steel, fertiliser, and petrochemicals industries – all of which are important to the country’s economy.

• Trinidad and Tobago: Transportation sector [free access]

  January 1, 2013

• Ireland: Reserves, production, and consumption

  December 1, 2012

• Ireland: Projected natural gas demand till 2019-20

  December 1, 2012
  As a result of more towns being added to the gas grid and the development of new gas-fired power stations, the projected gas demand in the Republic of Ireland is expected to decline steadily in the next decade, reaching close to 6 Bcm at the end of 2019–20.

• Ireland: Existing gas pipeline network and future development

  December 1, 2012
  In the Republic of Ireland, Gaslink operates 2,415 km of transmission lines.

• Venezuela: Reserves and production of natural gas

  November 1, 2012

• Venezuela: Utilisation and consumption of natural gas

  November 1, 2012
  A significant amount of gas (about 40 per cent of the total domestic gas production) is reinjected into the system by PDVSA primarily for oil extraction.
