Notes: Annual changes and shares of total are calculated in million tonnes of oil equilevent figures.
Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.
As far as possible, the data above represent standard cubic metres (measured at 15oC and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes
of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, they do not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics is due to variations in stocks at storage facilities
and liquefaction plants, together with unavoidable disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of gas supply and demand data.
