| Summary: | A method for evaluating the dominant seepage channel (DSC) water flooding in a layered sandstone reservoir is proposed and applied in an oilfield based on the water-cut derivative. The water-cut derivative curve of the reservoir with DSC shows double peaks. Therefore, based on the analysis of geology and production characteristics, the evaluation method of DSC is established. The evaluation index is proposed to quantitatively characterize the development degree of DSC and determine its distribution in a water-flooding reservoir. The test data validate that the proposed method can not only accurately determine the DSC and quantitatively evaluate its development degree, but also show its dynamic change. This method will be a powerful guide for water controlling and oil stabilizing in the adjustment stage of sandstone reservoirs.
