The layered recovery technology has been applied to the heterogeneous multi-layer standstone oilfields for many years. However, as these standstone oilfields have been entering into the ultra-high water cut period, the conventional layered water injection technology has too long test and adjustment period and heavy workload and cannot determine the reservoir condition. To solve this problem, this paper proposes and develops an intelligent multi-layer water injection technology suitable for the ultra-high water cut period based on the synchronous dynamic test and adjustment idea. The whole flow adjustment process has no any intervention and the synchronous dynamic flow adjustment of each layer finishes by the digital clock calibration thereby avoiding interlayer interference. This technology also can obtain data by the redisplay of computer. The experimental results show that this technology not only improves water injection effect and reduces the field workload, but also provides the basis of data analysis for implementation and adjustment of meticulous oil development plan
