(16) Excluding gas flared or recycled.
(17) As far as possible, the data represents standard volumes (measured at 15 C and 1013 mbar); as it is derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, it does not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
