Abstract: Recoverable reserves and remaining reserves of oilfields are naterial basis of oilfield developntent arnd construction. So it is necessary to accurately forecast and determine thenl. Based on our experience in forecasting. r'alculating and calibrating recoverable reserves of oilfields, and requirements in“Standards of Oil and Gas Reserves”tobe revised,this paper presents different methods for forecasting revoverable reserves and remaining reserves of oilfields following induction and sifting. which can be applied to different slagrs of oilfield developncent. 'These methods include analogical method, correlation nethod, displacement efficiency nethod, production decline method, water drive rurve method and forecast model method.

Key words: Oilfield, Recoverable reserve, Renlaining reserve, Calculation nethod
