1/3 to 1/5 is consumed during summer months, depending on region and industry. It definitely is not a 50/50 split. Europe will get through this winter just fine, regardless of temperatures. But Middle Eastern countries that are not traditional producers, e.g. Pakistan, will struggle a lot to compete in the global market. Gas spot will remain volatile and Futures will struggle to stay stable.

Edit: the current dump in EU spot and obvious implications for future pricing in LNG shipping to the EU, bafflingly currently still evades public discussion.

It is hard to put the energy supply of Europe into a few graphs. The IEA has good resources on the subject. Main point here is: storage matters little. Demand reduction and LNG supplies really tip the balance. https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/318af78e-37c8-425a-b09e-ff89816ffeca/GasMarketReportQ42022-CCBY4.0.pdf
