Head of the Quality Management and Information

Technologies Department, State Statistical Committee, Republic of Azerbaijan

Compilation of Natural Gas Statistics

The Land of Fire - Azerbaijan

Natural gas and Azerbaijan►Before the 20th century as a symbol and heating of local people►In the 20th century - supply of domestic demand ►In the 21st century - as energy safety of EU and neighbors

4

Energy resources is national wealth

Mining of oil and gas Oil – since 1871 (by industrial methods 1st in the world) Natural gas - since 1928

Oil and gas sector – about half of GDP (2011)Oil and gas – 100% supply of domestic

demand (2011) Oil and gas factor as a tools for development

5

Oil and gas – time series Oil (average per year)

At the beginning of the 20th century - 9,8 million tons In the middle of the 20th century - 14,8 million tons At the end of the 20th century - 14,0 million tons In 2005 – 22,2 million tons In 2010 – 50,8 million tons

Natural gas (average per year) At the beginning of the 20th century - 0,0 billion cubic-metres In the middle of the 20th century - 0,2 billion cubic-metres At he end of the 20th century - 6,0 billion cubic-metres In 2005 – 5,7 billion cubic-metres In 2010 – 16,7 billion cubic metres

6

Superiority of natural gas Increasing volume of gas than oil Big reserves, new partnerships, new possibilities

7

Frequently of needs for gas statistics

For policy makers Monthly

production (physical and monetary), export, import Quarterly

All monthly data + transformation, stock changes, losses Annually

All data for energy balance

For the international organizations Monthly – JODI, World Bank, CISSTAT Annually – UN, IEA, Eurostat

Advantages of monthly data collection

To forecasting of the short-term indicators To supply increasing demand of users To help energy security To analyze energy market, prices and etc.To attract investments

15

New challenges for natural gas statistics

Improving the quality of metadata Improving the quality of gas statistics Improving the methodology according IRESImproving the data dissemination policy on

natural gas statistics
