INTRODUCTION Generally, ater injectin pre vlume multiple refers t the rati beteen cumulative ater injectin and the ttal pre vlume f reservir. When the ilfield develpment reaches an ultra-high ater cut stage, the cumulative ater injectin pre vlume multiple f the entire reservir is generally less than 5 [-]. Cre displacement experiment is a cnventinal and cmmnly used experimental methd. A large amunt f useful infrmatin can be btained thrugh this ind f experiments, such as the displacement efficiency and the variatins f reservir permeability crrespnding t different ater injectin pre vlume multiples. Hever, enrmus difficulty arises in the applicatin f such infrmatin t actual reservirs, because the ater injectin pre vlume multiple btained in cnventinal cre displacement experiment usually reach several tens r hundreds [3-5], far greater than that f actual reservirs, i.e., the ater injectin pre vlume multiple in cre displacement experiment is nt the ater injectin pre vlume multiple f the entire reservir in a cnventinal sense. In this study the ater injectin pre vlume multiple btained in cre displacement experiment as defined as small-scale ater injectin pre vlume multiple in rder t distinguish it frm that f the entire reservir. In rder t mae it pssible fr the applicatin f the results f cre displacement experiment t the studies f actual reservir develpment, it is necessary t btain the distributin f small-scale ater injectin pre vlume multiple in the frmatin hich is cnsistent ith that f cre displacement experiment. Currently, the small-scale ater injectin pre vlume multiple in the frmatin is usually calculated n the basis f reservir numerical simulatin.
