About This Dataset

Countries by Natural Gas Production 2025

Countries ranked by total dry natural gas production in 2025, measured in billion cubic metres according to EIA International Energy Statistics and BP Statistical Review of World Energy. The United States became the world's largest natural gas producer around 2009 as the shale gas revolution unlocked vast reserves in the Marcellus, Permian, and Haynesville formations through hydraulic fracturing — transforming the country from a net importer facing supply constraints into the world's leading liquefied natural gas exporter by 2024, a geopolitical shift that reduced European dependence on Russian pipeline gas following the invasion of Ukraine and fundamentally altered the global LNG trade map within just fifteen years.

Analysis

United States heads the table on 1,050, ahead of Russia (640) and Iran (265) in Natural Gas Production (Billion m³) in 2025. United States and Russia together hold 59.7% of the combined total of all 8 entities. Places 3 to 8 are close together, spanning 265 to 125. It takes the next three entities (Russia, Iran, China) added together to match United States.
