About 40 billion cubic meters (bcm) annually in recent years down from 100bcm in 2004. I believe mostly from the North Sea. We use about 70bcm per year and so are net importers, which makes the fact we have increased exports during an energy crisis confusing.

I believe the stats on exports are exclusive to exports of what we have “produced”.

From my maths we exported about 3bcm of gas Sept-Nov last year.

My understanding from memory is that the oil/gas companies licence the right to drill in the north sea from the Crown (effectively the government). I believe the Crown estate “owns” the seabed, or something like that.
