The invention relates to a petroleum migration pathways quantitative evaluation method. The method combines geological analysis and hierarchical analysis. Parameters affecting the migration performance of faults and sand bodies in fault-sand body migration pathways are considered more comprehensively, including fault mobility, lithology opposition relationship between the two sides of faults, section morphology in the longitudinal direction, section morphology in the moving direction and level of fault as well as sand body effective thickness, porosity and permeability, sand body top morphology, sand body slope and sedimentary facies. On the basis of fault and sand body migration pathways multiple-parameter geological analysis, a hierarchical analysis mathematical method is adopted, the roles of the multiple parameters in the migration pathways are considered in a unified way, and quantitative evaluation of the fault-sand body migration pathways is realized. Meanwhile, the migration performances of unit migration pathways of different structures are compared quantitatively, and a favorable exploration area is easier to select. Compared with the existing evaluation method, geological analysis and the quantitative evaluation of the migration pathways are more accurate, and the success rate of petroleum exploration is effectively improved.
