Precision
The headline is stored to 19 decimals, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

07Questions
Natural Gas Production: questions and answers
What is the Natural Gas Production?
This is how much natural gas a country produces in a year, in billions of cubic metres. It is the companion to crude oil production, and it shows who supplies the gas that heats homes and fuels power stations worldwide.
Which years of the Natural Gas Production can I download?
All 45, from 1980 to 2024, each as a CSV file, or every year together in one CSV.
Does EIA rank countries on it?
No, and this site does not order it either. The files hold values only.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes, under Public domain, with credit to EIA. The licence text is linked on this page.
