The invention discloses a trap evaluation method for a heterogeneous thin sandstone interbed oil reservoir. The method comprises the steps of (a), carrying out stratum correlation and classification and sedimentation environment research through combination of well logging information, well drilling and logging information, coring information and seismic inversion data, and moreover, obtaining hydrocarbon source rock evolution data through utilization of geochemistry information; (b), obtaining reservoir characteristics through combination of the stratum correlation and classification, sedimentation environment research and the hydrocarbon source rock evolution data; (c), carrying out seismogeology comprehensive calibration, fracture explanation and growth period analysis, tectonic level tracking, tectonic evolution analysis and tectonic trap analysis in sequence according to seismic data; (d), carrying out hydrocarbon accumulation research through combination of the reservoir characteristics according to a tectonic evolution analysis result; and (e), carrying out final favorable trap evaluation. According to the method, the problem that in the prior art, later period reserve volume recalculation and exploratory well deployment work of a heterogeneous interbed old oil field are difficult to develop effectively is solved, and a purpose of providing a heterogeneous trap later period evaluation method for the old oil field is realized.
