Please use the information below to fill in the JODI Gas questionnaire for France.
In July 2013 France:
o produced 317 Million m3 of natural gas (measured at normal conditions: 0°C
and 760 mm Hg) with Gross Calorific Value equal to 41 176 kJ/m3.
o imported 3 869 Million m3/159 844 TJ of natural gas
o exported 443 Million m3/118 503 TJ of natural gas
o the Gross inland deliveries (Observed) were 2 012 Mm3/82 238 TJ
o had closing national territory stocks of natural gas at 6 961 Mm3/290 675 TJ
o had opening national territory stocks of natural gas at 5099 Mm3/212 949 TJ
o Own use and losses of the natural gas industry were 30 Mm3/1 249 TJ
o Deliveries to power generation were 212 Mm3/9 151 TJ


Go to the IEA website: http://www.iea.org

Go the Gas Trade Flows (GTF) page


Download data
Select Entries/Exits data for France – July 2013 (in the file “Export_GTF_IEA.xls”)

Use GTF data to fill in the trade tables for France for July 2013
o GTF give more detailed data and has to be seen as the reference for trade
o Regarding Liquefied Natural Gas imports, for the purpose of this exercise data
reported for “Fos sur Mer” come from Algeria and data reported for
“Montoir de Bretagne” come from Nigeria.
