Russia accounted for the largest share of global emissions from oil and gas production and transport in 2022, at over 23 percent. The United States ranked second, accounting for a nearly 19 percent share. That year, the four largest emitters were responsible for more than 50 percent of the world's oil and gas production and transport emissions.
Distribution of greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production and transport worldwide in 2022, by country
Figures are based on fugitive and exhaust emissions from flaring, venting combustion, and non-combustion related processes during oil and gas exploration, production, processing, and transport of crude oil, gas, and liquefied natural gas.
Oil and gas field- and basin-level carbon dioxide and methane emissions are estimated with the Oil Production Greenhouse Gas Emissions Estimator (OPGEE) Model. Inputs include a number of oil and gas field characteristics, including satellite-derived flaring volumes. Field-level estimates are summed and scaled to country-level on an annual basis.
Figures account for greenhouse gas emissions based on their 100-year global warming potential (GWP).
