Previous development practices in Chang 7 Member shale oil reservoir have proved that individual well production in Qingcheng Oilfield is related to several factors in both geology and engineering, such as physical properties of a reservoir, lateral length, fracturing scale etc. However, the most decisive factors among those are not clear. This paper is outlined to study the dominating factors relating to individual well production, based on geological parameters, fracturing construction data, and production data. Productivity influencing factors are quantitatively ordered using gray correlation analysis method and random forest algorithm. Research shows that the most decisive factors affecting individual well production of a horizontal well are porosity, oil saturation, brittleness index, effective lateral length, number of fracturing sections, sand volume pumped into a single fracturing section, and the amount of fracturing fluid pumped underground. Thus, well displacement, lateral length and fracturing parameters are optimized. This study provides a guidance to the development of shale oil reservoir considering low oil prices nowadays.
