Don't forget Iran and Qatar share the worlds largest natural gas field. That could become even more important, if Russia cuts off their supply. Although, I'm second guessing how important that will be, after reading this:UAE, Saudi, even Venezuela. As far as the west is concerned, if you've got oil and are willing to up production you're everyone's best friend.
To be honest, I'm surprised if the above is true. The way the media has portrayed the problem, I'd have thought half of it was coming from Russia, instead of the North Sea(UK territories I take it). I suppose I'd need to look more closely at the differences in the distances involved between the countries but we are still only talking about a 6th of the UKs supply and not all of that is coming from Russia.About half of the UK’s gas comes from the North Sea, and a third is sourced from Norway. The rest is made up of imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transported to Britain by sea from countries such as Qatar and the US. The Russian gas that the UK receives comes in LNG form.
