Abstract: The neural network prediction method gets good historical matching between prediction indices and influence factor indices, while the differential simulation prediction method can reflect the changing trend of prediction indices; considering these new traits, a new multi-factor prediction method is proposed to organically combine these two prediction methods. At first, the input–output relation between water flooding efficiency in ultra-high water cut stage and their influence factors is viewed as a time varying system, then the BP neural network is introduced in parameter identification of differential simulation to obtain a new multi-factor prediction method of functional simulation based on the time varying system. This new prediction model has got good self-adaptability since its parameters change by time. Moreover, it has better results in the mid-long-term water flooding efficiency prediction because the non convergence problem appeared in the coupling process can be overcome in the training process of the neural network by variable learning rates. In the end, practical output prediction cases in two different oilfield blocks in China are given. The computational results show that the prediction results obtained using the new multi-factor prediction method are in good agreement with the reality, even much better than the results obtained by other prediction methods.
