Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of reverse well reverse pull construction technology, specifically to a method and system for predicting the difficulty of reverse well reverse pull construction. Background Technology
[0002] Inclined shaft construction typically employs the reverse shaft method, a commonly used well completion technique, especially for inclined shafts. Its basic principle is as follows: first, a pilot hole is formed along the designed axis using a directional drilling rig. Then, an reaming bit is installed at the bottom of the pilot hole, and the hole is enlarged from bottom to top to form a guide hole that meets the requirements of the reverse shaft drilling rig. Finally, the reverse shaft drilling rig is used to excavate the guide shaft. Compared to the traditional drill-and-blast method, the reverse shaft method has advantages such as a high degree of mechanization, better wellbore quality, and higher efficiency, and is now widely used in inclined shaft construction.
[0003] However, in the construction of pilot holes using the reverse drilling method, due to the long construction distance and complex spatial orientation changes, the pilot hole is easily affected by factors such as changes in formation lithology, uneven rock hardness, development of joints and fractures, and distribution of local fracture zones during the drilling process, which can lead to deviations between the actual drilling trajectory and the design axis.
[0004] To understand the drilling status and trajectory changes of the pilot hole, equipment such as inclinometers and measurement-while-drilling systems are often used during construction to obtain the spatial trajectory characteristic parameters of the borehole. These trajectory characteristic parameters are important basic data for evaluating the construction quality of the pilot hole.
[0005] However, currently only some parameters are used to analyze the quality of the pilot hole; and most of the existing construction methods are in-process adjustments or post-event responses after problems occur. There is a lack of technical means to pre-identify and predict the difficulty, risk level and key difficult sections of the subsequent reverse pull construction based on the characteristics of the pilot hole drilling trajectory before the reverse pull construction. There is also a lack of construction parameter optimization, risk warning and construction organization feedforward control mechanism based on this. Summary of the Invention

Based on the identification and prediction model, identify and predict the difficulty, risk level and key challenging sections of the reverse tension construction. S7. Output the identification and prediction results and generate targeted construction suggestions.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a diagram of the evaluation system architecture of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0028] In an embodiment of this application, a method for predicting the difficulty of reverse well reverse pull construction includes the following steps: S1. Collect trajectory characteristic parameters during the drilling process of the pilot hole in the inclined shaft; During the drilling of the pilot hole in the inclined shaft, trajectory acquisition equipment such as inclinometers, measurement while drilling systems, and trajectory measurement devices are used to collect the trajectory characteristic parameters of the pilot hole; The trajectory characteristic parameters include three or more of the following parameters corresponding to the well depth: Well inclination angle I; azimuth angle A; well inclination offset OI; azimuth offset OA; total angle change rate, i.e., dogleg degree D; trajectory curvature C; offset O; Simultaneously collect auxiliary parameters related to the drilling status, including drilling pressure, rotational speed, torque, feed rate, flushing medium flow rate, and flushing medium pressure, for subsequent identification and optimization correction of the prediction model; The above parameters are collected at predetermined depth intervals or in real time along the drilling direction of the pilot hole, forming the corresponding raw data sequence.
[0029] 1. Single-parameter sequence representation: For any trajectory parameter, its discrete sequence along the well depth direction can be expressed as: X = {X1,X2,X3,…,X} n}; in: X represents a sequence of characteristic parameters of a certain trajectory; X i This represents the parameter value at the i-th measuring point; n is the total number of measuring points.
[0030] 2. Multi-parameter joint sequence expression: In practical applications, various trajectory parameters have corresponding relationships at the same measurement point, and the multi-parameter joint sequence is constructed as follows: S={S1S2,S3,…,S n}; Wherein: S i =(L i ,I i A i O i D i C i ,…); S i =The multidimensional trajectory feature vector of the i-th measurement point; in: L i This represents the well depth or starting position of the measurement segment corresponding to the i-th measurement point; "..." indicates that other parameters can be added.
[0031] 3. Vectorized representation: Unified representation in matrix form: S= ; Right now: S∈R n×k ; in: n is the number of measurement points; k is the parameter dimension (e.g., k=6); n×k represents an n-row, k-column matrix; R (real number space) represents all values that are real numbers (continuous values).
[0032] S2. Preprocess the collected trajectory data; Because field-collected data may contain missing measurements, false readings, fluctuations, and noise, trajectory data preprocessing is necessary before modeling and analysis. Preprocessing includes, but is not limited to, the following beneficial actions on the dataset: 1. Data alignment: All trajectory parameters are arranged uniformly according to well depth, and the correspondence between different parameters at the same measuring point is established.
[0033] 2. Outlier handling: Remove obviously distorted data caused by measurement errors, equipment fluctuations, or abnormal data transmission to avoid unreasonable impacts of local abnormal data on subsequent analysis results.
[0034] 3. Missing value completion: For missing measurement point data, interpolation can be used to complete the data, so that the trajectory parameters are continuously distributed in the well depth direction.
[0035] 4. Standardization process: Trajectory parameters of different dimensions should be standardized or normalized for subsequent comprehensive evaluation and model input. (Range criterion can be used.) After preprocessing, a standardized trajectory dataset suitable for subsequent feature extraction and modeling is obtained.
[0036] S3. Obtain preprocessed trajectory data and extract trajectory features that characterize the overall spatial morphology and local anomaly changes of the pilot hole; Based on the preprocessed data, trajectory features of the pilot hole are extracted to reflect its overall spatial morphology and local anomaly characteristics. These trajectory features include overall trajectory features, local anomaly features, and comprehensive trajectory features, among which: 1. Overall trajectory feature extraction, used to characterize the overall orientation and smoothness of the pilot hole, including: Average rate of change of inclination angle of the entire well ; Average value of the azimuth change rate of the entire hole ; Distribution of deviation distance in the entire wellbore; Full-hole azimuth offset distribution; Average dogleg degree of all holes ; Maximum dogleg degree of full hole ; Average curvature of the entire hole ; Total Hole Offset Cumulative ; in: Average dogleg degree across all holes: , i=1,2,…,n; Average curvature of the entire hole: , i=1,2,…,n; Average rate of change of inclination angle of the entire well: ; Average rate of change of azimuth angle throughout the borehole: ; Total hole offset cumulative amount: , i=1,2,…,n; in: n is the number of test segments; This represents the offset of the i-th measuring point relative to the design axis. Let i be the dogleg degree of the i-th measurement point; Let be the curvature of the i-th measurement point; This represents the offset of the i-th measuring point relative to the design axis. Let be the well inclination angle of the i-th measuring point; Let be the azimuth angle of the i-th measuring point.
[0037] 2. Local anomaly feature extraction, used to identify local trajectory problems that are detrimental to subsequent reverse tensioning construction, including: Locally high dogleg sections; Sections with sudden increases in local azimuth offset; Local curvature abrupt change section; Local eccentricity abrupt change section; Continuous length of abnormal sections; Sections where the well inclination or azimuth angle changes drastically; A segment can be identified as an abnormal segment if it meets any of the following conditions: ; ; ; ; ; in , , , , The preset threshold; 3. Comprehensive trajectory feature extraction facilitates the construction of recognition and prediction models, and further enables the development of comprehensive trajectory feature indicators, including: (1) The smoothness index of the whole hole trajectory is used to comprehensively characterize the continuity, uniformity and stability of the trajectory change of the pilot hole in the whole hole range, and to reflect whether the whole drilling trajectory is smooth and straight, and whether there are many sharp bends and sudden changes. The larger this index is, the smoother the overall borehole trajectory; the smaller this index is, the greater the fluctuations and the more local abrupt changes in the overall borehole trajectory. The formula can be defined as: ; in, The smoothness index of the entire hole trajectory; These are weighting coefficients, and all are greater than 0; The standard deviation of the full-hole dogleg tolerance; The standard deviation of the curvature of the entire hole; The greater the average dogleg angle, the more bends there are overall, and the less smooth the ride. The greater the maximum dogleg angle, the more pronounced the sharp bends in certain areas, and the less smooth the ride. The larger the standard deviation of doglegity and the standard deviation of curvature, the more uneven the variation and the lower the smoothness. (2) Trajectory complexity index, which is used to comprehensively reflect the geometric complexity of the pilot hole trajectory over the entire hole range, and to reflect whether the trajectory changes frequently, whether the spatial shape is complex, and whether the direction adjustment is drastic; The larger this indicator is, the more complex the trajectory is, and the more complex the stress state of the drill bit is likely to be during the subsequent reverse pull operation. The calculation formula is: ; in: This is a metric for trajectory complexity. These are the weighting coefficients; This represents the number of abnormal segments; If the dogleg degree is high, the curvature is large, the orientation and inclination change frequently, and there are many abnormal segments, the complexity will increase significantly. (3) Local anomaly intensity index, used to characterize the intensity of trajectory anomaly changes in a local segment, focusing on reflecting the concentration of problems such as local high dogleg, high curvature abrupt change, and sudden increase in offset; This indicator is suitable for identifying key and difficult sections as well as local high-risk sections; The calculation formula is: ; in, Let be the local anomaly intensity index for the i-th segment; These are the weighting coefficients; For the i-th local segment, the following can be selected: The average dog-leg degree of this section ; Maximum dog-leg degree in this section ; The curvature change amplitude of this section ; The amplitude of the offset change in this section ; The larger the local anomaly intensity index, the more concentrated and severe the trajectory anomaly in that section is, and the more likely it is to become a construction difficulty during subsequent pull-back; (4) Trajectory offset cumulative index, used to characterize the overall cumulative degree of deviation of the actual trajectory of the pilot hole relative to the design axis, reflecting the cumulative effect of the whole hole deviating from the design axis; The larger this indicator is, the more obvious the overall deviation of the trajectory from the design axis is, and the greater the potential adverse impact on subsequent reverse tensioning construction. Calculation formula: ; in This is a trajectory offset indicator; Let the first The offset of each measuring point relative to the design axis is The length of the measured section is This is the total length of the hole; (5) Continuous high-risk trajectory characteristic index, used to characterize the length and severity of the section in the pilot hole where high-risk trajectory characteristics appear continuously, highlighting the impact of "continuous anomaly" on subsequent reverse pull construction; In engineering, it is not often the single point of abnormality that is most dangerous, but rather a continuous stretch of poor trajectory that is more likely to cause problems such as uneven wear, stuck drill, and broken rod; Calculation formula: ; in: This is a characteristic indicator of a continuous high-risk trajectory; This is the total length of the hole; Assume there are a total of The first consecutive high-risk zone The length of each high-risk section is Its average anomaly intensity is ; It is formed by the combination of the average dogleg degree, average rate of change of curvature, and average rate of change of deviation within the high-risk section; defined as: ; The above steps can reflect the overall spatial shape of the pilot hole and identify abnormal sections that may have an adverse impact on the reverse tensioning construction.

This enables the identification and prediction of the difficulty, risk level and key difficult sections of the reverse pull construction, providing a basis for subsequent construction parameter optimization, risk warning and construction organization decision-making. In this way, the reverse pull construction risk can be identified in advance and fed-forward controlled, improving the safety, continuity and construction efficiency of the reverse pull construction, and reducing construction risks such as wear, stuck drill and broken rod.
