The proved reserves of natural gas in Egypt have shown significant stabilization over the past decade, with the value standing at 2.15 trillion cubic meters in 2023. The year-on-year variation from 2013 to 2023 reflects minimal fluctuations, the largest being in 2016 with a 6.47% increase. The last two years indicate a very slight upward trend of around 0.047% per year.
