| Units | 1988 | 1998 | 2008 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas: Proved reserves [15] - Trillion cubic metres (from 1980) | % of total (Tcm) | |||
| Total North America - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 8.7 | 4.9 | 4.8 |
| Total S. & Cent America - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 4.4 | 4.3 | 4.0 |
| Total Europe & Eurasia - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 40.6 | 39.9 | 34.0 |
| Total Middle East - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 31.3 | 35.9 | 41.0 |
| Total Africa - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 7.0 | 7.3 | 7.9 |
| Total Asia Pacific - Proved gas reserves | % of total (Tcm) | 8.1 | 7.7 | 8.3 |
(15) Trillion equals one million million (1012). 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas = 26 million tonnes of oil (approximately).
