5.3.4.1 LNG production
Production reached its historical maximum level of 329bcm (3,619 TWh) in 2011 before a small 3% decrease in 2012. Since 2001, production has more than doubled. The growth has been more significant in Middle East where LNG produc- tion has been multiplied by four. In the same period the LNG production in the Atlantic basin increased by almost a factor two while in the Pacific basin the growth was limited to 56%. The different evolutions followed by the three basins have derived in a significant change in their shares. While in 2001 the Pacific basin represented over 52% of the total LNG production, the Atlantic basin accounted for a 26% and Middle East was 22%. In 2012 the Middle East led the production with a 42% share the while Pacific and Atlantic basins shares have been reduced to 36% and 22% respectively.
