Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for quantitatively calculating the probability of mixed multi-criterion collapse pressure based on GMM, belonging to the technical field of oil and gas drilling and completion engineering. Background Art

[0002] In drilling engineering, the minimum drilling fluid column pressure required to maintain wellbore stability is usually defined as the collapse pressure. When the drilling mud pressure is lower than this pressure, the wellbore rock often exhibits shear failure, which further leads to large-scale caving of the wellbore rock, seriously interfering with the safe implementation of the drilling engineering.

[0003] At the same time, the uncertainty characteristics of geotechnical engineering seriously interfere with the accurate analysis of underground engineering, and further lead to interference in the quantification of wellbore collapse pressure due to parameter uncertainty and model uncertainty; in particular, there are multiple rock failure criteria for wellbore stability evaluation and analysis, such as: Mohr-Coulomb criterion, Mogi-Coulomb criterion, Modified Lade criterion, and Modified Wiebols-Cook criterion, etc. Therefore, the uncertainty of geomechanical parameters and the ambiguity of rock failure criterion selection further exacerbate the uncertainty quantification process of wellbore collapse pressure.

[0004] Currently, there are various theoretical calculation methods for wellbore collapse pressure. For example, the invention patent with the authorization number CN114547906B authorized by Southwest Petroleum University authorizes a wellbore stability logging interpretation method for deep formations containing weak structural planes. This method overcomes the deficiencies of common wellbore stability logging interpretation methods, can more accurately predict the wellbore stability of deep formations containing weak structural planes, and thus effectively guide the safe and efficient drilling of deep complex formations.

[0005] The invention patent with the authorization number CN114635684B authorized by China National Petroleum Corporation and CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Company Limited authorizes a wellbore stability evaluation method, a calculation method and system for wellbore collapse pressure. This method directly establishes the relationship between the well logging diameter data of completion and the allowable hole enlargement rate and collapse pressure, facilitating the comparison analysis and application of actual drilling site data.

[0006] Although the above two patents and other existing technical solutions have achieved certain technical effects, they have not fully considered the influence of geomechanical parameter uncertainty and the ambiguity of rock failure criterion selection, resulting in serious obstruction in the uncertainty quantification of wellbore collapse pressure in complex formations, thus affecting the implementation of underground drilling engineering. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the defects existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for quantifying the probability of collapse pressure of a hybrid multi-criterion based on GMM. The present invention can utilize geological mechanics parameter samples to quantify the high-dimensional joint probability distribution of parameters, and further combine multiple failure criteria to construct a multi-criterion collapse pressure probability model for the wellbore, thereby effectively improving the quantification of the uncertainty of the wellbore collapse pressure.

[0008] The technical solution provided by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a method for quantifying the probability of collapse pressure of a hybrid multi-criterion based on GMM, comprising the following steps:

[0014] Statistically analyze the calculation results of the wellbore collapse pressure under N groups of sampling data, and combine the Monte Carlo method to quantify the probability results of the collapse pressure.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the geological mechanics parameters include horizontal in-situ stress, overburden rock pressure, pore pressure, Poisson's ratio, uniaxial compressive strength, cohesion, and internal friction angle.

[0028] A further technical solution is that the different rock failure criteria include the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, the Modified Lade criterion, the Modified Wiebols-Cook criterion, and the Mogi-Coulomb criterion.

[0029] A further technical solution is that the wellbore stability evaluation model includes two parts: the wellbore stress distribution and the rock failure criterion, and the minimum drilling fluid density to maintain the wellbore is solved by substituting the wellbore stress distribution into the rock failure criterion as the wellbore collapse pressure.

[0030] A further technical solution is that the process of calculating the wellbore collapse pressure based on the probability weight coefficient is as follows:

[0031] Generate a random number in the interval [0, 1] r ; Use the random number r to compare one by one with the sum of the probability weight coefficients of different numbers of rock failure criteria until the random number r is greater than the sum of the probability weight coefficients, then output the number of rock failure criteria l , and correspondingly select the l th rock failure criterion to calculate the collapse pressure; repeat the above calculation process until N groups of sampling data are calculated.

[0032] A further technical solution is that the probability formula for quantifying the collapse pressure in combination with the Monte Carlo method is:

[0033]
