Quantitative approach to selection of analogs in oil and gas field development planning is presented. This approach consists in finding and using the correlation on a set of similar objects. Approach can be used both for filling the gaps in knowledge about the geology of the formation and for evaluation of production potential of the deposit. Examples of numerical analysis of analogs are shown.
