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: 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.
