Talk:List of countries by natural gas proven reserves

message: when updating this list, it´d be nice to use same basic measurement as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_natural_gas_consumption -- therefore itd be much easier comparing reserves vs current consumption and expected timeframe until depletion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.220.92.14 (talk) 07:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I haven't been able to include this revised table since the last column conflicts with the earlier table. I changed the last column from date (they're all very recent estimates of gas reserves, so this column is not useful or interesting), to reserve life and calculated the reserve life for the top 25. 
There is also no point in including every country in the world which has zero gas reserves.
Here is the table as I would include it.
This is a list of countries by natural gas proven reserves  mostly based on The World Factbook.Rank Order - Natural gas - proved reserves, accessed in September 2007
Following link on wikipedia shows that the recent discoveries in the last decade at KG Basin alone in India, puts it at top 20 countries.
The KG Basin is in the Andhra Pradesh state of India.
:The Wikipedia article you cite, KG basin, is at fault for not pointing out that the quoted numbers are possible reserves, perhaps even probable reserves, but are not proven reserves.  As I look into the sources for that article, I see a lot of "may be" and "estimated," statements, rather than the phrase "proven reserves."  This article is only about proven reserves.

replies: text: The ratio of proved reserves to production is certainly an interesting and useful statistic, but labeling it as "reserve life" is fallacious.  Plazak (talk) 12:56, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reserve Life in Table 

message: Please look carefully.
100% - 300.000 (first line)
0,19% - 364 (36th line)
Actually, 364 should be 0,12%. This error seems to occur in several lines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbbinder (talk • contribs) 16:58, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

message: With the information in the article economy of Israel (natural gas) and with the use of this http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/cubic-feet-to-cubic-meters.htm
the proven Israel gas reserves is 930,000,000,000+ of cubic meters.
:Sorry, I don't see in the wiki article the number you refer to.  Could you be more explicit as to where you get it?  US EIA website  gives 9.56 tcf = 271 billion m3.  Plazak (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Russia long dominated the world's gas reserves league table before ceding top spot to Iran recently after BP put Iranian gas reserves estimates at 34 trillion cubic metres (tcm)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.143.139 (talk) 19:33, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Iran #1 with gas reserves 

message: A number of entries list the reserves back in 2010. There is no excuse for this when more recent reserve numbers are available. Almost all countries have 2014 or 2015 reserve data available. One editor has repeatedly substituted older reserve numbers for Bolivia, apparently because the older reserves give Bolivia a higher ranking. This sort of thing misinforms the reader.

thread_title:  Outdated Reserves 

message: Data in the tables seems to refer only to the older Tamar gas field
The later find Leviathan gas field, has an added 470 BCM which is ignored Jazi  Zilber (talk) 18:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The Leviathan article refers to 470 BCM as the P2 reserves, not the P1, which is the subject of this article.  Plazak (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
