Countries by natural gas proven reserves (2014), based on data from The World Factbook

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

The gas amounts in this list are the gross amount of natural gas exported. (So, for example, Greece is listed as exporting 11 billion cubic metres (BCM) of gas in 2022; however, most of this amount consisted of imported gas transshipped through Greece from other countries. During 2022, Greece produced about 3 BCM, consumed about 5 BCM, and imported approximately 16 BCM.)

Natural Gas in this list means dry natural gas. This 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 and 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 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 2022 Russia exported 176 BCM of natural gas compared to 251 BCM in 2021, a reduction of 75 bcm.
