Abstract: Most previous oil and gas pool-forming simulation systems running on stand-alone computers cannot maintain the consistency of fundamental data and the sharing abilities of research results. Nowadays, most of key research results have been achieved cooperatively. In combination with the features of oil field database, this paper analyses the oil and gas pool-forming simulation methods and explores multi-layer data modelling technology and multi-type, multi-format data storage management technology. Based on oil database, enterprise data models and data criteria which are applicable to the quantitative analysis of reservoir process are built and used in the quantitative analysis of the process of reservoir. Integrated methods and specifications for project database construction are formed. The oil and gas pool-forming simulation project database (OGPSPD) has characteristics with sharing of intermediate achievements and concurrent simulation process, which accords with the needs of research of oil and gas pool-forming simulation. This paper aims at integrating the pool-forming simulation project database with the oil field database closely and provides a new set of ideas and methods for improving the oil and gas pool-forming simulation level so as to benefit the traditional oil and gas pool-forming simulations to be more effective.
