The continental reservoirs are major development objects in China. There are a variety of challenges during this types of reservoirs development and the principle contradictions vary at different development stages. Therefore the theoretical basis of developing the reservoirs with high efficiency is to regard the development process as a whole life cycle with a priority to dynamic progressive. Based on the research on systematic dynamic synergetic progressive development rule，the principle of the dynamic synergetic progressive development was proposed，with the major leading force as the subdivision of series of strata and the adaptation of well patterns，and the driving force as the media transcendence. Six sequences on displacement media and five classical combinations about its progressive capacity were optimized through library experiment and numerical simulation. Based on these，combining with six development elements on the media transcendence，subdivision of series of strata，and adaptation of well patterns，etc.，a pagoda-like chart about all the development elements by pyramid principle was established，which illuminates the synergetic development pattern of all the development elements in whole life-cycle dominated by dynamic progress. In 2010，according to the chart and normal replacement progressive typical combination model，the development of gas flooding was implemented in north Liuzan block. The percentage recovery of OOIP at the end of the stage reached 23.4%，which increased by 14.8% than that of water flooding.
