The proportion of deep energy in the energy consumption structure will increase, so that the development of deep energy resources is attracting attention. At present, the high-risk disasters induced by deep high ground stress rock mass engineering resources production are serious, which leads to high safety cost, frequent disasters and accidents, and great difficulty in production of deep resource development.

[0013] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] The horizontal stress measurement method of the present application combines the digital drilling technology and is implemented according to the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Perform rock digital drilling test by using the digital drilling equipment to obtain the relationship between the cutting stress and the feed force, and further calculate the contact friction angle θ between the cutting surface of the diamond blade and the compression crushing zone.
[0016] During the rock digital drilling test by the digital drilling equipment, the test is divided into two stages according to the different dominant forces, i.e. the cutting stage and the friction stage. When the cutting force is greater than the feed force, the cutting force occupies the dominant position, belonging to the cutting stage. When the feed force is greater than the cutting force, the feed force occupies the dominant position, belonging to the friction stage.
[0017] Condition 1: When the cutting force is greater than the feed force, the function expression between the cutting force and the feed force is:
[0018]
[0019] wherein F is the cutting force, F is the feed force, α is the drill bit rake angle, θ is the contact friction angle of the cutting surface, F is the friction component of F t n t w t
[0020] After eliminating the effective contact area between the drill bit and the rock, equation (1) is transformed into equation (2) as follows:
[0021]
[0022] where S t is the cutting stress, S n is the feed force, R is the outer diameter of the drill bit, and r is the inner diameter of the drill bit.
[0023] Using Kalantari's model, the intercept in equation (2) is ignored, and equation (2) is transformed into equation (3) as follows:
[0024]
[0025] Condition 2: When the cutting force is less than the feed force, the functional expression of the cutting force and the feed force is as follows:
[0026]
[0027] where P f is the confining pressure; c is the rock cohesion; is the internal friction angle of the rock; is the contact friction angle between the broken zone and the intact rock;
[0028] After eliminating the effective cutting area in equation (4), equation (5) is obtained as follows:
[0029]
[0030] From the data of S t and S n , the functional relationship between S t and S n can be obtained, and from equation (3), the slope of both is tan (α+θ). Knowing the value of the rake angle α, the contact friction angle θ between the cutting surface of the core drill bit and the compression broken zone can be obtained.
[0031] Step 2: Using the contact friction angle θ obtained in step 1, the internal friction angle of the rock
[0032] is solved. The expression of the internal friction angle of the intact rock is as follows:
[0033]
[0034]
[0035] The contact friction angle θ and the bit rake angle α obtained in step 1 are brought into formula (6) and formula (7), and the contact friction angle of the broken zone and the intact rock is obtained and the internal friction angle of the rock
[0036] Step 3, α, θ, obtained from step 1 and step 2, and the measured rock cohesion c are used to solve the confining pressure P of the surrounding rock f (that is, the horizontal stress),
[0037] The confining pressure P f is calculated as follows:
[0038]
[0039] The θ, obtained above, and the known values of α, c, S t , S n are substituted into formula (8) to obtain the confining pressure P f , that is, the formation.

[0046] Experimental verification
[0047] 1) Perform a digital drilling test and collect relevant data.
[0048] Digital borehole testing follows the ISRM recommended testing procedure and precautions. The data acquisition rate is set to 0.02 s / point during the experiment. The maximum horizontal stress that the hydraulic system can provide is 80 MPa. Before the experiment, 3-5 pre-drilling should be performed to observe whether the digital borehole parameters are within the normal value range. This embodiment uses a diamond hollow drill bit, and the inner diameter and outer diameter of the drill bit are 20 mm and 25 mm, respectively. The drilling speed is 0.1-1.2 mm / min, and the rotation speed is 200-600 rpm. In order to protect the test system, when the drilling speed exceeds 1 mm / min, the rotation speed is controlled to be above 200 rpm. The horizontal pressure of 0 MPa, 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 15 MPa, and 20 MPa is applied to six different rock samples (i.e., shale, red sandstone, granite, limestone, sandstone, and diorite), and then drilling tests are respectively performed on each rock sample. Thus, the linear relationship curves of the cutting force and the feed force of the six kinds of rocks under different horizontal stress levels are obtained, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, and the data of the cutting point of the digital drill of different rocks are shown in Table 1.

[0050]
[0051] 2) Perform a conventional triaxial compression test and collect relevant data.
[0052] The triaxial compression test follows the recommended standard of ISRM. When performing a conventional triaxial compression test on a WDT-1500 type multifunctional rock material compression testing machine, the sample is wrapped with a flexible rubber film to prevent pressure oil from penetrating. In order to minimize the error caused by the uneven bottom surface of the sample, a spherical base is used at the top. In the test, two heat-treated hardened smooth plates are placed between the two parts of the sample to ensure no friction. In order to eliminate the error caused by the heterogeneity of the rock, the measured data of each rock is averaged. The physical information and strength parameters of the rock obtained by the conventional triaxial compression test are shown in Table 2.

[0054]
[0055] 3) Calculate the contact friction angle θ of the cutting surface and compare and select the optimal one.
[0056] According to the three steps of the method, the contact friction angle of the cutting surface is solved, and the numerical comparison is shown in Table 3, and it can be seen from the table that the method is based on the result of the digital drilling and the laboratory test result is more and more close to the increase value of the ground stress, which fully shows that the prediction result of the method is more accurate, and the reliability meets the technical requirements on the site. Figure 2 As shown in the table, it can be seen that the method is based on the result of the digital drilling and the laboratory test result is more and more close to the increase value of the ground stress, which fully shows that the prediction result of the method is more accurate, and the reliability meets the technical requirements on the site.

[0058]
[0059] The application is based on the rock drilling test on the site, the relationship curve of the cutting force and the feed force is obtained, the horizontal ground stress of the rock is calculated in combination with the corresponding theory, the method only needs manual calculation, the calculation process is simple, with the increase of the ground stress, the accuracy is higher and higher, the error is within 12.5% when the ground stress is 10MPa, and the error is within 5% when the ground stress is 20MPa. In the actual engineering, there is basically no ground stress, so most of the errors can be basically ignored.
[0060] In summary, the method for calculating the parameters only needs the test from the site while drilling, does not need the traditional sampling for indoor test, the process is simple, the survey cost is saved, and the application prospect is wide.
