Abstract: The water drive characteristic curves is widely used in water drive reservoir development, while most of the traditional water rive characteristic curves are single curve. In this paper, a new type of water drive characteristic curve is established based on two traditional water drive characteristic curves, and the dynamic data of Xinjiang oilfield development are fitted by nonlinearity using regression oftware, and the relationship graphics of cumulative production vs. water cut and water cut vs. recovery percent of recoverable reserves are lotted. The case study indicates that this new type of water drive characteristic curve is practicable and reasonable in prediction of water ut rising pattern, and it can not only be applied to common reservoirs at high water cut stage, but also applied to low permeability reseroirs at mid?high water cut stage
