Abstract

In 2015, the total consumption of global natural gas is 3.47 trillion cubic meters. It is predicted that natural gas will be "the largest energy" among the whole energy consumption before 2040. According to the regional structure of natural gas consumption, the gas natural consumption of none-OECD countries begins to exceed the consumption of OECD countries in 2007, and the gap has a tendency to increase year by year especially in Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Nevertheless, the per capita consumption of natural gas in OECD is 5.2 times of Non-OECD. The natural gas consumption in Asia-Pacific region is increasing rapidly, which is expected to be the center of natural gas consumption since Europe and America. From the per capita consumption, the consumption in the region with rich natural gas resources such as North America, the Middle East and former Soviet Union is more than 2 tons of oil equivalent, and the consumption in many economic less-developed regions of Asia-Africa-Latin America is below 0.5 ton of oil equivalent. If resources are the main constraint on natural gas production pattern, the consumption pattern is influenced by the demand of economic development.
