Terminology
* Year Startup: year of first oil. put specific date if available.
* Operator: company undertaking the project.
* Area: onshore (LAND), offshore (OFF), offshore deep water (ODW), tar sands (TAR).
* Type: liquid category (i.e.
Natural Gas Liquids
Natural-gas condensate, also called natural gas liquids, is a low-density mixture of hydrocarbon liquids that are present as gaseous components in the raw natural gas produced from many natural gas fields. Some gas species within the raw natur ...

Crude oil
Petroleum, also known as crude oil, or simply oil, is a naturally occurring yellowish-black liquid mixture of mainly hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations. The name ''petroleum'' covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude ...

* Grade: oil quality (light, medium, heavy, sour) or
API gravity
The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water: if its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks ...
* 2P resvs: 2P (proven + probable)
oil reserves in
giga barrels (Gb).
* GOR: The ratio of produced gas to produced oil, commonly abbreviated GOR.
* Peak year: year of the production plateau/peak.
* Peak: maximum production expected (thousand barrels/day).
* Discovery: year of discovery.
* Capital investment: expected capital cost; FID (Final Investment Decision) - If no FID, then normally no project development contracts can be awarded. For many projects, a FEED stage (Front End Engineering Design) precedes the FID.
* Notes: comments about the project (footnotes).
* Ref: list of sources.
