The invention discloses a method for controlling interval pumping of an oil well, which comprises the following steps of: generating a pump dynamograph of the oil well according to a ground indicator diagram of the oil well and basic parameters of the oil well, wherein the basic parameters include a water content parameter of the oil well, a gas oil ratio, a viscosity, a stem diameter, a stem length, a pump diameter, a pump depth and the like; and controlling the interval pumping of the oil well according to the pump dynamograph. The invention further discloses a system for controlling the interval pumping of the oil well, which comprises an acquiring module, a ground indicator diagram generation module, a pump dynamograph generation module and an interval pumping control module. With thesystem and the method for controlling the interval pumping of the oil well, the optimal interval extraction starting point and interval extraction time can be analyzed in real time in combination with the oil production law of the oil well, remote intelligent self dynamic interval pumping control of the oil well is implemented, and consequently energy for the oil well is saved, consumption of theoil well is reduced and loss of operating apparatuses is also reduced.
