Natural gas production in North America amounted to some 1.3 trillion cubic meters in 2023, an increase of nearly four percent when compared to the previous year. Between 1998 and 2023, North America's natural gas production increased by around 545 billion cubic meters, reaching a production-peak in the latter year.

This report was previously published by BP.
Figures exclude flared or recycled gas.
According to the source, the data represents standard cubic meters (measured at 15°C and 1,013 mbar) as far as possible. Since the data is derived directly from metric tons of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, it does not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication.
Figures were restated based on the latest edition of the report.
