In this paper, using the analysis data such as reservoir porosity, permeability, productivity, mercury injection test and the critical pore throat radius of tight reservoir, two new methods to obtain the physical property lower limit of tight reservoir are proposed. One is that using the statistical method combining with physical property and reservoir productivity, the statistical analysis of physical property according to losing the cumulative probability 10% is performed for the commercial oil layer and low yield oil layer. The physical property lower limit of commercial reservoir is ?准=7.20%,K=0.05 md. The physical property lower limit of low yield oil layer is ?准=4.50%, K=0.03 md. The other is that using the fitting function method combined with the critical pore throat radius of tight sandstone and mercury injection data, the physical property lower limit of reservoir is determined, the result is ?准=4.48%, K=0.023 md. Considering the almost consistency of the physical property lower limit value obtained by statistical analysis and the value obtained by fitting function method for the low yield oil layer, therefore, the physical property lower limit of ?准=4.48%, K=0.023 md is taken as the lower limit value of tight reservoir in this study area. The pore throat distribution characteristics also show that for the reservoir with the physical property lower limit less than this value, its pore throat is smaller than that of the critical throat of tight reservoir on the whole, so it is invalid reservoir.
