[0002] In the development of oil and gas fields, a detailed description of the reservoir, especially an accurate understanding of the structure of local traps and reservoir conditions, is fundamental to precise development. As the water content of reservoirs increases, the direction of the waterline advances becomes more complex, and the distribution of remaining oil becomes a key focus of reservoir development research. In recent years, new wells have frequently experienced the loss of target formations, the encounter of water-flooded zones, and the discrepancy between the production capacity of newly commissioned wells and their planned performance. This has made the optimal well location and design extremely important. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In some optional implementation plans, the secondary weight ratio of production capacity, million-ton capacity investment, and development cost to economic benefits is 4:4:2.

[0013] In some optional implementation schemes, each secondary indicator of drilling is scored according to a 10-point system and is divided into category one with 8-10 points, category two with 5-8 points, and category three with 0-5 points.

[0014] In some optional implementation schemes, when the scores of one of the secondary indicators among geological potential, reservoir potential, and economic benefit are all classified as three, it indicates that the well to be drilled has no mining value.

[0015] In some optional implementation schemes, each secondary indicator of the well to be drilled is scored on a 10-point scale and then multiplied by the primary weight and the secondary weight to obtain the final score of the well to be drilled.
