Data as of 26 June 2026. Prices are quoted as multi-year and full-year averages, not a single day’s snapshot, so this report stays useful over time. Reserves, production splits, balances, and historical series are estimates from agency data, rounded for clarity. This report is for information only and was prepared with AI assistance — see the disclaimer at the end.

Natural gas is the world’s fastest-growing fossil fuel and the swing fuel of the power grid — it heats homes, fires industry, and increasingly sets the marginal price of electricity. Unlike oil, gas has no single global price: it trades in three semi-separate regional markets, knitted together by a fast-growing fleet of LNG tankers. This report is the free, big-picture primer on how the gas market actually works — where it comes from, how it is priced, who trades it, and which forces drive it.
