Abstract: The Lorentz curve and its derived Kiny factor are separately used to visually describe and quantitatively determine the differential allocation of revenue in economics. In reservoir engineering,the Kiny factor of core permeability can be used to evaluate a reservoir heterogeneity; the development data for individual layers in layer series of development can be used to estimate the production status of layers; while profile-testing data can be applied to analyze water injectivity and fluid production.

Key words: reservoir engineering, reservoir, heterogeneity, water intake profile, Lorentz curve
