Abstract: Hydrocarbon resource assessments are the bridges and ligaments among exploration,exploitation,decisionmaking and policy programming.The improvement,development,selection and applying of assessing methods determine the appraisal qualities and evaluating precision.The authors put forward the fundamental principles for hydrocarbon resource assessment.They are respectively the rules of genesis,dark box,resembling,feeblest factors, uncertainty,geological filtering,infinite approach and systematic analysis.They are the theoretic norms for ways and means for choosing,applying analysis and result discussing.The paper discussed briefly the mentioned basic principles.
