The desciption of globally regular SchwarzschiId space-time in a Newman-Penrose formalism is given in the Schwarzschild coordinate and the Kruskal coordinate respectively. It is shown that this space-time has the global algebraic property. Globally it is of Petrov type-D. The behaviours of tetrad components of the Weyl tensor, the spin coefficients and null vectors are also discussed.
