Monthly Gas Statistics

CHART 1Gross consumption of natural gas by OECD region

Total OECD indigenous production of natural gas was 2.9% higher in January 2020 compared to January 2019, driven by growth in the OECD Americas (+5.5% y-o-y1) and OECD Asia Oceania (+9.1% y-o-y) – more specifically the United States (+6.7% y-o-y) and Australia (+11.4% y-o-y). OECD Europe, on the other hand, experienced a considerable decrease in indigenous production (-12.5% y-o-y), with the Netherlands being the major contributor (-37.0% y-o-y) due to the initial efforts of the Dutch government in reducing natural gas production from the Groningen field. Norway also presented a noticeable reduction (-5.7% y-o-y), with companies holding back production as a result of market conditions.

Total OECD imports (entries)2 of natural gas dropped by 9.6% year-on-year, due to a decline observed in both the OECD Americas (-11.7% y-o-y) and OECD Europe (-11.8% y-o-y). In contrast, a modest increase of 1.0% y-o-y was observed in OECD Asia Oceania. The decrease in natural gas entries was led by a decline in pipeline imports (-16.3% y-o-y), while LNG imports experienced a growth (+8.8% y-o-y).

Total exports (exits)2 of natural gas increased by 1.0% overall in January 2020 compared to January 2019, driven by a rise in the OECD Americas (+19.0% y-o-y) and OECD Asia Oceania (+15.5% y-o-y), balanced by a decrease in exports from OECD Europe of 9.4% y-o-y. While gas exports via pipeline continued to decrease by 9.1% year-on-year, exports of LNG ramped up by 47.3% over the same period for Total OECD.

Gross consumption of natural gas decreased in all OECD regions (-5.4% y-o-y for Total OECD) in January 2020 compared to January 2019, especially in the OECD Americas (-4.2% y-o-y) and OECD Europe (-8.5% y-o-y), with the United States (-3.3% y-o-y), the United Kingdom (-18.7% y-o-y) and Canada (-11.3% y-o-y) being the main contributors in absolute terms. A decrease of 2.2% y-o-y was observed in OECD Asia Oceania.

NOTESPlease note that all IEA data are subject to the following Terms and Conditions found on the IEA’s website: http://www.iea.org/t&c/termsandconditions/

1) ESTIMATED DATA

Due to the absence of official data, the following data have been estimated:

Israel January 2010 to January 2020Mexico October 2019 to January 2020New Zealand July 2019 to January 2020

2) COUNTRY NOTES

A General Note Starting with January 2011 data, the Imports and Exports no longer represent ultimate origins and destinations but are replaced by Entries and Exits corresponding the amounts that physically crossed the national boundaries of the country.

Australia The breakdown of export destinations is estimated by the IEA on the basis of OECD imports of natural gas from Australia.

Austria Most recent data are the best estimates from the Austrian national administration, based on available preliminary data. Data are usually finalised within three months following the first publication.

Belgium Most recent data on origins of imports and final destinations of exports of LNG are the best estimates from the Belgian Administration based on available preliminary data.

Canada Data for Canada are submitted by the Department of Natural Resources (Natural Resources Canada, or NRCan), based on actual and preliminary data from Canada's national statistical agency (Statistics Canada) and various other sources. In cases where data from these sources are unavailable, estimates are conducted by NRCan, based on information available at the time, including alternative sources. Data are usually finalised within three months of the first publication. An important source for any differences between data published by Statistics Canada and data published by the IEA is data estimated by NRCan or the IEA Secretariat.

Finland Finland is reporting stock levels as of January 2019. Therefore, there is a break in stock levels between December 2018 and January 2019.

Iceland There is no natural gas data for Iceland, as there is neither production nor consumption.

Israel The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law.Information is based on data published by the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources as well as the Central

Mexico Observed gross inland deliveries of natural gas from January 2013 onwards are estimated.

Netherlands Starting with January 2019, more complete trade data is reported based on better information from the GATE terminal. Revisions for historical series are pending.

United Kingdom There is a break in stocks between March and April 2019 due to inclusion of stock held at LNG terminals.

Beginning with January 2016, exits to the Isle of Man are reported under Non-Specified/Other. Prior to this date, exits to the Isle of Man were included in exits to Ireland.
