Abstract: The study of the critical production and water breakthrough from an oil well in a bottom water reservoir should be based on sound understanding of water coning shape in it first of all. From the shape of water cone sections the side-inclined planes are curves rather than straight lines. It is unreasonable or inaccurate, if the planes are described to be straight lines and hence all corresponding equations are derived to calculate the related parameters. In recent years, a lot of studies and literatures are involved in this fundamental problem. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to clarify it.

Key words: oil reservoir with bottom water, water coning, barrier
