Abstract: The reserve-production ratio is an index of ensuring production from an oil-gas field. The higher it is, the bigger possibility of realizing stabilized production is. If the ratio is less than certain numerical value,the related oilfield development will turn into declining stage. This paper, based on theoretical study of Arps and Logistic production declining equations, derives the expressions of the ratio vs time for production following different declining laws, respectively. Among them, the cutoff values of reserve-production ratio for stable production as necessary can be directly defined at t=0. The studied results provide reliable theoretical basis for analysis, evaluation and planning of anoil-gas field's stabilized production status. The actual cases have shown very good effects.
