The EIA quite a bit of detail on their country website (click on 10 year history for details):
http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/country/index.cfm
And I think that they are updated for 2007.
It seems like BP's 2007 energy report came out in June last year. Perhaps the 2008 report (showing 2007 data) will be out shortly.
I noticed in looking at the report that Iran has been a net importer of natural gas for several years. Also, Russia's natural gas exports have been approximately flat for quite a few years. If they add lots of new pipelines, will there be more gas to go around?
Wow. I knew that Iran was importing gas. I didn't realize that they were a net importer. I frequently cite the Iranian gas situation this past winter as an example of the Export Land Model (ELM).
Turkmenistan cut off natural gas to Iran. Iran cut off gas to Turkey. Turkey cut off gas to Greece.
The gas did not go to the high bidders, and the various countries did not offer to share; they offered a middle finger salute to the export markets, basically taking the position that "Your stinking money is no good; you can't have any gas."
My premise is that the price of energy (and increasingly food) is being set at the margin as importers bid for the volume of food & energy that "escapes" into the export market.
Interesting that Iran is on the wrong side of the export/import equation regarding natural gas. Turkmenistan has doubled the price of natural gas:

BP 2008 was out today...shows decline in global output...
was out today - check bp website
The EIA web page is very slick and contains many more countries than the BP dataset but I would submit that their presentation of the data makes it difficult to understand the interaction of production, consumption and natural decline.
Their data does include 2007 but only goes back to 1980 so that it's harder to see the shape of the production curve in each nation. That is the real story behind these data and I believe it should be made as visible as possible.
