About this ranking
Dry natural gas produced in the year, after the liquids are removed at processing plants, in billion cubic feet, from the U.S. Energy Information Administration International Energy Statistics.
One billion cubic feet is about 28.3 million cubic metres. US states are served as marketed production (natural_gas_marketed_production), which is larger because it still contains the liquids. EIA International Energy Statistics, compiled by EIA from national statistics and other reports. Countries that no longer exist (the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany) have no current ISO code and are not served; their successors start when EIA starts them.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 5 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2024 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
