Definitions
- Consumption: This entry is the total natural gas consumed in cubic meters (cu m). The discrepancy between the amount of natural gas produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes and other complicating factors.
- Consumption > Per capita: This entry is the total natural gas consumed in cubic meters (cu m). The discrepancy between the amount of natural gas produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes and other complicating factors. Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.
- Consumption per capita: This entry is the total natural gas consumed in cubic meters (cu m). The discrepancy between the amount of natural gas produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes and other complicating factors. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Imports: This entry is the total natural gas imported in cubic meters (cu m).
- Including LNG > Conversion in thermal power plants per 1000: . Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.
- Including LNG > Conversion to other forms of energy > Per capita: Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.
- Including LNG > Conversion to other forms of energy per 1000: . Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.
- Including LNG > Energy balance requirement > Per capita: Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.
- Including LNG > Gross inland availability > Per capita: Per capita figures expressed per 1,000 population.
- Proved reserves: This entry is the stock of proved reserves of natural gas in cubic meters (cu m). Proved reserves are those quantities of natural gas, which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with a high degree of confidence to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.
- Proved reserves per capita: This entry is the stock of proved reserves of natural gas in cubic meters (cu m). Proved reserves are those quantities of natural gas, which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with a high degree of confidence to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Including LNG > Gross inland availability per 1000: . Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.

Proved reserves are those quantities of natural gas, which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with a high degree of confidence to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Including LNG > Total resources per capita: . Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Imports per capita: This entry is the total natural gas imported in cubic meters (cu m). Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Including LNG > Energy balance requirement per 1000: . Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.
- Including LNG > Gross > Production per 1000: . Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.
