Gas Reserves in Japan

See also: List of countries by Gas Reserves

Japan holds only 0.74 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves as of 2017, ranking 73rd in the world and accounting for about 0.011% of the world's total natural gas reserves of 6,923 Tcf.

Total gas reserves in Japan are less than even a single year of gas consumption (4,492,985 MMcf as of 2017), making Japan highly dependent on natural gas imports in order to substain its consumption levels.
