## Detailed list of projects for 2015

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, 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.
* 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).
