Gas demand (gas used) is published in Energy Trends Table 4.1, with data up to September 2021. Data for October to December 2021 will be released in this table on 31 March 2022.

Gas imports and gas extracted are published in Energy Trends Table 4.2, with data up to November 2021. Data for December 2021 will be released in this table on 24 February 2022. See Energy Trends Table 4.4 for a breakdown of import sources.

Gas extracted onshore and offshore is published in the Digest of UK Energy Statistics in Table F.2, with data up to 2020. Data for 2021 will be released in this table on 28 July 2022.

Forecasts of gas extraction and demand in each year to 2050 are published by the Oil and Gas Authority in their Projections of UK oil and gas production and expenditure. There are not forecasts for imports, or a breakdown for offshore and onshore production.
