Russia, Iran, and Qatar have 58% of the world’s natural gas reserves. The U.S. has 3%.

The world's natural gas reserves:
58% - Russia, Iran & Qatar
3% - the US

Source: Proved Reserves, as reported by the Oil & Gas Journal, are estimated quantities that can be recovered under present technology and prices. Figures reported for Canada and the former Soviet Union, however, include reserves in the probable category. Natural gas reserves reported by the Oil & Gas Journal are compiled from voluntary survey responses and do not always reflect the most recent changes. Significant natural gas discoveries made during 2004 are not likely to be reflected in the reported reserves.
