Abstract: This article analyzes the characteristics and background of a dozen of oil and gas resources classification both at home and abroad. China has GBn 269-1988 “Petroleum Reserves Standards”, “Petroleum and Natural Gas Reserves Standards” (Revised in 1997), and GB/T 19492-2004 “Petroleum and Natural Gas Resources/Reserves Classification”. The typical international classifications include 3P classification, mineral reserves and resources classified by USGS and USBM, petroleum reserves classified by Norway in 1996, Russian classification in 1997, and PRMS-2007. The article reviews the communications between the Chinese experts and their international counterparts in this area. To improve management of oil and gas resources, it is necessary to constantly summarize and perfect resources classification that aims at generality, continuity, extendibility and precision, while focusing on emancipation and development of production power. China should take an active part in formulation of the world petroleum industrial technological standards so that it can have a louder voice in this area. As for management of oil and gas business, China should appropriately bridge the gaps between the State and enterprises and between the resources and assets.

摘要： 文章分析了国内外十余种油气资源分类的特点与产生背景，包括我国的GBn 269—1988《石油储量规范》、《石油天然气储量规范》（1997年修订稿）、GB/T 19492—2004《石油天然气资源/储量分类》，国际上具代表性的3P分类、美国地质调查局和矿业局的矿物储量和资源分类、挪威1996年石油资源分类、俄罗斯1997年分类、石油资源管理系统（PRMS）—2007 等。回顾了我国与国际同行交流中出现过的两次重大曲折，指出要提升油气资源经营管理水平，必须做到：辩证地对待资源分类，并在实践中不断总结完善；资源分类应具备通用性、连续性、扩展性和精确性；不忘解放生产力、发展生产力初心，从实际出发克服各种错误倾向；主动参与世界石油业技术规范、标准的制定，提升话语权；在油气经营管理上，妥善处理国家与企业两个层面、资源与资产两个领域的差异。
