Abstract: Traditional method for calculation of irregular polygon area of oil-gas reservoir is very complicated and makes mistakes easily because of plenty of work and low accuracy. This article introduces the principle of calculating acreage of irregular polygon, then analyzes the algorithm of irregular polygon area acquisition using macro function in Microsoft Excel, and finally lists some key step codes in the program. The author uses the program to calculate acreage of oil/gas-bearing area, greatly improving working efficiency.

Key words: area acquisition, algorithm, macro
