In this paper authors will present a developed technical and economic model for decision-making to select a development system, in addition will cover several examples of its application to oil fields. Simplified description of formation geology on the basis of averaged reservoir properties is provided in this model. Calculation of well production within the model is conducted by streamlines approach. The application of this approach for oil displacement simulation for producing wells allows to reduce task capacity from two- or three-dimensional to one-dimensional which will speed up the task's solution. Wells with random method of completion are represented in the model as a set of simple elements - point sources. Given the known location of all sources the constant pressure field is calculated, through which a stream tube system is constructed. One-dimensional task of two-phase filtration, which can be described by Buckley-Leverett equation, is solving along each stream tube. Summing of oil and water production for all streamlines gives the dynamics on well performance in the development strategy. In its turn the economic performance, calculated by means of economic model and under the production and injection dynamics, is used for optimization of development strategy.
