Abstract: Implementing the differentiated and fine management of oil and gas exploration and development within the ecological protection
red line areas, and coordinating the relationship between oil and gas resource development and environmental protection are conducive to promoting the “development while protecting, and protection in development” of oil and gas industry, enhancing the increase of oil and gas reserves and production, and assisting the strategic activities for obtaining breakthrough in a new round of mineral exploration. After systematically reviewing the control rules for oil and gas exploration and development within the domestic ecological protection red line areas and referring to the foreign management practice for oil and gas exploration and development within nature reserves, the problems in the current policies for controlling oil and gas mining rights within the ecological protection red line areas have been analyzed, which shows that the differentiated and fine management ideas should be implemented base on the characteristics of oil and gas resource exploration and development, and more scientific and rational control policies and access requirements for exploration and exploitation activities should be formulated for different protected objects. The control and assessment of oil and gas resource exploration and development activities within the ecological protection red line areas should be strengthened, and various requirements for ecological protection should be strictly implemented with high standards.

Key words: ecological protection red line, oil and gas mining rights, differentiated management, fine management
