NGPL Production by Country

NGPL production by country measures natural gas plant liquids produced for each country, in million barrels per day (Mb/d). NGPL are hydrocarbons separated from natural gas at processing plants, including ethane, propane, butanes and natural gasoline. Some NGPL components are also classified as liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), so the two categories are related rather than completely separate. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 65 countries, with 65 reported 2025 values, and includes data from 2020 to 2025. The world total stood at 14.8248 Mb/d in 2025, up from 14.2910 Mb/d in 2024.

One country dominates this series. The United States (7.4792 Mb/d) produced more than half of reported world NGPL output in 2025 — nearly five times Saudi Arabia (1.5579 Mb/d), the second-largest producer. Canada (1.1814 Mb/d) ranked third, followed by Iran (0.7100 Mb/d) and Russia (0.6217 Mb/d). Empty means no reported value, not zero.

The United States accounted for about 50.5% of the world total in 2025, producing about 4.8 times as much as Saudi Arabia. The top two together held about 61.0%, the top three about 68.9%, the top five about 77.9%, and the top ten about 89.0%.

Change from 2024 to 2025

The United States recorded the largest increase in absolute terms, rising from 7.0411 to 7.4792 Mb/d (+0.4381 Mb/d, about 6.2%). The world total rose from 14.2910 to 14.8248 Mb/d (+0.5338 Mb/d, about 3.7%), so the United States alone accounted for about 82% of the world increase. The largest decline among reported pairs was Norway, falling from 0.2100 to 0.1870 Mb/d (-0.0230 Mb/d, about 10.9%).

How production changed across major producers

Growth was broad but American-led: Canada (+6.4%), Iran (+5.5%) and Qatar (+5.5%) all grew alongside the United States, while Saudi Arabia (+1.2%) and Russia (+1.3%) barely moved. Norway was the only top-ten producer to decline meaningfully. Several Gulf producers reported identical 2024 and 2025 values, recording no change for the year.

2020 to 2025 in this series

Reported world values were 12.2755 Mb/d in 2020, 12.4784 Mb/d in 2021, 13.0348 Mb/d in 2022, 13.6057 Mb/d in 2023, 14.2910 Mb/d in 2024 and 14.8248 Mb/d in 2025. Production grew every year and ended about 20.8% above the 2020 level. The figures show the change over time but do not explain its causes.

NGPL in context

At 14.8248 Mb/d, NGPL output is roughly one-sixth of crude production (84.3834 Mb/d), showing the much larger scale of crude oil production. Yet its concentration is far higher: one country holds over half, against 16.1% for the crude leader. The ranking reflects where liquids are extracted from gas streams, not where the gas itself is produced or consumed.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual natural gas plant liquids production in million barrels per day (Mb/d). Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the countries listed on this page may not equal the reported world total because the country-level data presented here do not necessarily represent the complete set of values used for the world total. This page covers NGPL production only and does not include crude oil or refinery gain. LPG components recovered from natural gas are included in NGPL under the source's classification.
