Abstract: Based on the characteristics of water flooding exploitation in low-permeability reservoir and the stream tube model,
and by taking the start-up pressure gradient into consideration,we establish the areal sweep efficiency formula and water
breakthrough time formula. The formula help solve the theoretical problem of the calculation of areal sweep efficiency of lowspeed
non-Darcy seepage flow,which is different from Darcy seepage flow. The results show that the water breakthrough time
and areal sweep efficiency of invert 9-spot pattern in low-permeability reservoir are different in borderline well and corner well.
It is necessary to adopt a different working system to adjust to the uniformity degree of water flooding in borderline well and
corner well. This research provides theory basis for development and evaluation of low-permeability reservoir.

Key words: threshold pressure gradient, low permeability reservoir, invert 9-spot pattern, areal sweep efficiency, water breakthroughtime
