1. Natural gas statistics in the Republic of Azerbaijan: country experience Yusif Yusifov, Head of the Quality Management and Information Technologies Department, State Statistical Committee, Republic of Azerbaijan 1 Compilation of Natural Gas Statistics

2. 2 The Land of Fire - Azerbaijan

3. 3 Natural gas and Azerbaijan ►Before the 20 th century as a symbol and heating of local people ►In the 20 th century - supply of domestic demand ►In the 21 st century - as energy safety of EU and neighbors

4. 4 Energy resources is national wealth  Mining of oil and gas  Oil – since 1871 (by industrial methods 1 st 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. 5 Oil and gas – time series  Oil (average per year)  At the beginning of the 20 th century - 9,8 million tons  In the middle of the 20 th century - 14,8 million tons  At the end of the 20 th 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 20 th century - 0,0 billion cubic-metres  In the middle of the 20 th century - 0,2 billion cubic-metres  At he end of the 20 th century - 6,0 billion cubic-metres  In 2005 – 5,7 billion cubic-metres  In 2010 – 16,7 billion cubic metres

6. 6 Superiority of natural gas  Increasing volume of gas than oil  Big reserves, new partnerships, new possibilities

7. 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
