The article is devoted to the problem of estimating the oil displacement coefficient. The displacement coefficient is one of the key parameters in calculating recoverable reserves and controlling the development of oil fields. Traditionally, its definition is carried out in the laboratory when oil is displaced by the working agent from the composite core models of the formation under conditions simulating natural occurrence. With insufficient or no cores, the displacement coefficient can be estimated either by analogy with neighboring deposits or using analytical dependencies. In this regard, the receipt of such dependencies is relevant.

Through the generalization and analysis of a significant amount of experimental data, the authors developed a method for estimating the oil displacement coefficient. The initial sample was formed from the known values of the parameters of the reservoir models, which was ranked by the value of the displacement coefficient from the minimum to the maximum. It was possible to trace the influence of sample parameters on the displacement coefficient by means of stepwise regression analysis of the initial sample. In this case, the existence of isolated groups of values was established, which were isolated through linear discriminant analysis. Multidimensional regression equations for selected classes are obtained, which allow one to estimate the value of the oil displacement coefficient without its laboratory determination.

To estimate the displacement coefficient, the values of the formation parameters are used: porosity, permeability, residual water saturation, bulk density of the rock, determined by mass in standard core studies, and oil viscosity.

The developed method is implemented for the Bashkir carbonate deposits of the Bashkir arch and the Solikamsk depression in the Perm region. The obtained multidimensional equations demonstrate the high closeness of the model and experimental values of the displacement coefficient.
