Terminology
* Year startup: year of first oil; 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: 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)
