Proved natural gas reserves in Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States amounted to 59.8 trillion cubic meters in 2020. During the period in consideration, figures increased by nearly 17 trillion cubic meters, peaking at 67.6 trillion cubic meters in 2019.
Proved natural gas reserves in Europe and CIS from 1995 to 2020*
(in trillion cubic meters)
* CIS stands for Commonwealth of Independent States. Figures from Europe and the CIS were manually added.
According to the source, proved reserves of natural gas are generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Further, as far as possible, figures represents standard cubic meters (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar) and have been standardized using a gross calorific value (GCV) of 40 MJ/m3.
