Abstract: “Foreign Investment Law” specifies the pre-entry national treatment and the negative list for the admission of foreign investment, which provides a good legal environment for foreign investment. “Special Administrative Measures for Foreign Investment Access (Negative List) (2019 Edition) ” lifts bans on oil and natural gas exploration and development which are previously limited to joint venture and cooperative with Chinese national companies. Direct involvement of foreign investment into China’s oil and gas exploration and development will exert a far-reaching impact on the nation’s foreign oil and gas cooperation. Meanwhile, “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Exploitation of Onshore Petroleum Resources in Cooperation with Foreign Enterprises” and “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Exploitation of Offshore Petroleum Resources in Cooperation with Foreign Enterprises” are still the dominant laws on China’s foreign oil and gas cooperation, but these two documents call for further perfection. “Foreign Investment Law” and the negative list open the upstream sector to foreign investors, meeting the demands for devoluting of administrative power. It makes clear specifications on protection of the foreign party’s intellectual properties. Under the background of competitive bidding of oil and gas mineral rights, perfection of the legal system for foreign cooperation is helpful to attract and utilize the foreign investment and increases oil and gas reserves and production to secure the nation’s energy supply.

摘要： 《外商投资法》确立了对外商投资实行准入前国民待遇加负面清单的管理制度，为促进和保 护外商投资提供了良好的法制环境。《外商投资准入特别管理措施（负面清单）（2019 年版）》取消了 石油天然气勘探开发限于合资、合作的限制，外资可直接参与我国油气勘探开发，将对我国油气对外合作 产生深远影响。与此同时，指导我国油气对外合作的法律仍以《中华人民共和国对外合作开采陆上石油资 源条例》及《中华人民共和国对外合作开采海洋石油资源条例》为主，有进一步开放和完善的需要。《外 商投资法》及负面清单放开了外资进入上游领域的准入门槛，体现了“放管服”要求，明确了对外方知识 产权的保护等规定需要体现在我国油气对外合作的法律制度中。特别是在油气矿权竞争性出让的大背景下， 对外合作法律制度的完善有利于引好外资、用好外资，促进油气增储上产，保障国家能源供应安全。
