Abstract


Accurate prediction of well productivity is important to take proper engineering measures, and it has an important value on the increased cost of oil and gas exploration and development. Variety of different reservoir evaluation methods for well productivity based on different data, such as seismic data, mud logging data, well logging data, well testing data, formation test data etc. was compared in this paper, and the scale, scope and implications of the methods evaluation were also described. This provides a theoretical basis for comprehensive reservoir productivity assessment research, and can be a guidance for comprehensive evaluation of reservoir productivity based on variety of test data.
