Data are given in thousand tonnes (metric tons) of oil equivalent (ktoe)." "" "Years Covered and Frequency of Update:" "This dataset contains production estimates for 1970-2006. BP publishes updated and revised data in their Statistical Review of World Energy every June." "" "Methodology: " "Natural gas production estimates have been compiled by BP using a combination of government sources, such as national statistical offices, and published data. World totals were calculated by BP p.l.c. and contain production estimates for countries not included here." "" "For more information, please refer to BP's Statistical Review of World Energy 2007." "" "Data Reliability:" "BP has collected production data from recognized, primary sources and thus this dataset can be considered to contain fairly reliable estimates of actual production numbers."
