In 2023, natural gas consumption in the United States amounted to around 887 billion cubic meters, up from nearly 880 billion cubic meters one year earlier and the highest value recorded within the period of consideration. Between 1998 and 2023, natural gas consumption in the U.S. increased by almost 284 billion cubic meters.

This report was previously published by BP.
Figures exclude natural gas converted to liquid fuels. Derivatives of natural gas and coal consumed in gas-to-liquids transformation are included.
According to the source, this data represents standard cubic meters (measured at 15°C and 1,013 mbar) where possible. Since the figures were derived directly from 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.
