Abstract

The invention discloses a method for optimizing a horizontal drilling azimuth of a shale formation. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining an azimuth angle of a formation shear fracture type fracture plane; optimizing a drilling azimuth according to the azimuth angle of the shear fracture type fracture plane. The method optimizes the drilling azimuth according to the azimuth of the shear fracture plane, is convenient to form a network fracture in case of formation fracturing, reduces the exploration and development cots of a shale gas formation, and improves the development efficiency of the shale formation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of geological exploration, in particular to a method for optimizing the horizontal drilling orientation of shale formations. Background technique [0002] In the field of geological exploration and development, drilling construction is an indispensable technical means. During the drilling construction process, under the condition of vertical well, the drilling direction of the drill bit is consistent with the direction of the force of the drill bit, and it is easier to drill in the direction perpendicular to the layer than in the direction parallel to the layer; when drilling in an inclined layer, the direction of the drill bit will be Inconsistent with the direction of the force applied by the drill bit, the borehole wall may collapse or collapse under low drilling fluid density. [0003] Therefore, in order to achieve the expected drilling effect, it is necessary to optimize and adjust the force direction of the dr...
