Abstract

To meet the needs of oilfield strategic planning and reservoir management, a new method for development evaluation of waterflooding reservoir was established. Five key indexes are determined by analyzing the existing index system, screening from the main development indexes by methods such as logical analysis and correlation analysis, and studying the matching rules among the development indexes and reservoir geological characteristics, development characteristics, and development stages. Moreover, methods were proposed for determining the reasonable boundaries, the membership functions and the weights of evaluation indexes. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation method of multi-indexes was established. This paper first proposes the stage definition of evaluation indexes, the method for determining the respective evaluation criteria, and evaluating the development effects according to the different development stage, which make the results more reasonable.
