Natural gas proved reserves - 1988/1998/2008
This stacked bar chart shows the world natural gas proved reserves according to geographic region for the years 1988, 1998 and 2008. Natural gas proved reserves are measured in Tcm (trillion cubic metres).
| Units | 1988 | 1998 | 2008 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas: Proved reserves [15] - Trillion cubic metres (from 1980) | Tcm | |||
| Total North America - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 9.51 | 7.24 | 8.87 |
| Total S. & Cent America - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 4.79 | 6.35 | 7.31 |
| Total Europe & Eurasia - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 44.53 | 59.09 | 62.89 |
| Total Middle East - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 34.34 | 53.17 | 75.91 |
| Total Africa - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 7.68 | 10.77 | 14.65 |
| Total Asia Pacific - Proved gas reserves | Tcm | 8.86 | 11.39 | 15.39 |
(15) Trillion equals one million million (1012). 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas = 26 million tonnes of oil (approximately).
