Abstract

With the increase of tight oil output in the United States and the discovery of the first 100 million tons of tight oil in China,the important position of tight oil in unconventional resources fields is established.In order to know about China’s tight oil resources size,and objectively assess China continental tight oil resource potential and distribution,tight oil resources evaluation methods and key parameters have been studied in this paper.Based on the North American tight oil resources evaluation method,combined with the new development of China’s tight oil exploration,three methods have been formed,such as hierarchical resource abundance analogy method,EUR analogy method,small cell volumetric method.All these methods provide an important basis for effective evaluation of tight oil resources.
