After its 2021 rebound, global gas production remained stable in 2022 and 2023.

Global gas production slightly increased in 2023 (+0.7%), after a stagnation in 2022 (-0.1%).
Indeed, the steady growth in gas production in the US (+4.7%, almost as fast as its 2010-2019 average) was offset by a 5.5% drop in Russia due to lower exports to the European Union.
Gas production slowed down in the Middle East (+2.7%, below its historical average), due to a sharp slowdown in Iran (+1.3% in 2023 compared to over 5%/year usually) and a stable production in Saudi Arabia. Gas production increased by 3.5% in Asia, rising by around 6% in China and India, and by 2.1% in Indonesia, while dipping by 1.5% in Malaysia. It remained stable in Africa (8.3% rise in Algeria offset by a 11% fall in Egypt), in Latin America despite an 8.6% hike in Brazil, and in Australia (+0.8% only). Gas production fell by 9.3% in Europe, collapsing in the Netherlands (-34%) with the shutdown of the Groningen field and declining by 5.6% in Norway (due to field maintenance programmes and a record year 2022).
