Abstract: Petroleum resources, reserves and petroleum are the most basic parameters in the upstream sector of petroleum industry, forming a series of complicated terminologies. However, some misunderstanding and errors exist in application of this series of terminologies in real production practice. It is necessary to make clarification of those terminologies. This paper points out the differences in conceptions under the difference circumstances both inside and outside China. It helps readers how to understand and use those terminologies under the market economy to better reflect the real conditions. The paper also discusses a series of other issues, such as poor quality of newly-added reserves in China, putting a large quantity of undeveloped reserves into production, unified measurement of natural gas fuels, and commercialization rate of oil and gas production.
