List of countries by natural gas exports

This is a list of countries by natural gas exports based on statistics from The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Natural Gas in this list means dry natural gas; which is used in homes and business for heating, cooling, cooking and electricity generation, it can also be compressed and used as a fuel.

Dry natural gas in mainly composed of methane. In contrast, wet natural gas also contains significant portions of other liquids such as ethane, propane or butane (also known as Natural Gas Liquids). Wet natural gas is used for petrochemicals as well as gasoline (petrol).

In 2022, the United States has led the world in both natural gas production and natural gas exports.

Until 2022, Russia was the world's largest exporter of natural gas, exporting over 250 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas in some years. However, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian natural gas exports plummeted. The steep decline in exports was mostly caused by western countries sanctioning Russian energy. In 2021 Russia exported 251 bcm of natural gas compared to 176 bcm in 2022, a 75 bcm decline.
