3. Iran

Average Annual Gas Production: 255 billion cubic meters 

Iran, home to the world’s second-largest natural gas reserves, has faced domestic supply issues, leading to disruptions like school and office closures due to gas shortages in winter 2023. To enhance its energy sector, Iran has signed a $40 billion memorandum of understanding with Russia’s Gazprom. This collaboration aims to expand gas production and export capabilities. Additionally, Iran is developing the South Pars gas field, the world’s largest, to increase production capacity.
