• 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, Crude oil)
• Grade: oil quality (light, medium, heavy, sour) or API gravity
• 2P resvs: 2P (proven + probable) oil reserves in giga barrels (Gb).
• GOR: The ratio of produced gas to produced oil, commonly abbreviated GOR.^[1]
• 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).
