Analysis
In 2021, gas reserves in Azerbaijan stood at 1.70 trillion cubic meters. That is the highest value across all 25 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 20.0% on the previous year and up 100.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, gas reserves in Azerbaijan peaked at 1.70 trillion cubic meters in 2021 and was at its lowest, 124.59 billion cubic meters, in 1997.
That places Azerbaijan 20th out of 214 countries with data for 2021, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
