technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of geomechanics, oil and gas well engineering, and oil and natural gas exploitation, in particular to an evaluation method for the magnitude of ground stress based on the instability and collapse of well wall mechanics. Background technique [0002] In-situ stress is an important basic parameter required for the design and implementation of underground deep engineering. Especially in the field of oil and gas drilling and production, the evaluation of deep in-situ stress is of great importance for well trajectory design, well wall stability evaluation, well completion optimization, stimulation fracturing, and production. Sand prediction and the establishment of a safe mining operation system are extremely important. At present, deep in-situ stress evaluation is mainly through drilling core stress testing, stress analysis of mine data such as fracturing and drilling, and in-situ stress profile logging calculat...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The traditional method needs to calibrate and constrain the stress size obtained from the stress test or mine data analysis to ensure the reliability of the stress calculation results of the well logging; There are many factors affecting the obtained data, which is difficult to meet the needs of scientific evaluation of in-situ stress; wellbore collapse and drilling-induced fractures are another important information that can be used to evaluate deep in-situ stress, but they are mainly limited to the evaluation of deep in-situ stress direction Analysis, although Mark D. Zoback proposed a theoretical model based on borehole collapse to calculate in-situ stress, but due to the heterogeneity of deep formation rocks, the irregularity of actual borehole collapse, and the parameters related to borehole collapse required by the model cannot Restricted by factors such as acquisition, at present, this theoretical model is still difficult to be effectively applied to the calculation and evaluation of the deep in-situ stress. Therefore, the present invention proposes a method for evaluating the in-situ stress based on the mechanical instability and collapse of the wellbore wall to solve the existing problems. problems in
