Leading countries in terms of natural gas production

The leaders in terms of gas production are the United States, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Canada, China, Norway, Saud. Arabia, Algeria, Turkmenistan and Indonesia. These countries account for more than 70% of global production.

It is hardly possible to imagine modern living conditions of a person without the presence of natural gas. Natural gas is what makes our life more comfortable. Even without listing the many positive qualities of gas, such as environmental friendliness, easy transportability and others, every smart and sensible person understands how important this product is and why there has been a struggle for its production for decades.

In the current political and economic environment, the "resource" issue is more acute than ever on the agenda. After the lifting of sanctions from Iran, several more large sellers appeared on the gas market, which completely “turned the game upside down”. But the dynamics are such that almost every day, the participants in this gas race change their status. Therefore, monitoring the most relevant information, in this case presented in our rating of countries for gas production, will be of interest not only to specialists, but also to ordinary people.
