Abstract: The graph of growth curve in its growth process is normally characterized by an oblate shape like "S". A lot of field data got from oil exploration, exploitation and production also appear such a S-shape varied tendency. This paper presents the available six types of S-shape, analyzes their growth rate-varied patterns and deduces the generalized S-shape growth models and curves, followed by developing the oilfield water-cut forecast model the represents these six S-shape growth curves and making solutions with trial and error method. Case study indicates that the generalized S-shape growth model proposed in this paper can be applied to forecasting oilfield water-cut, being as a guide for development of water flood oilfields.
