Research and application of quantitative model for optimal well trajectory selection.

ABSTRACT: A reasonable wellbore trajectory is crucial for achieving geological goals and ensuring safe and efficient on-site operations. Currently, the selection of wellbore trajectories is mainly evaluated based on operational feasibility and target safety. However, the trajectory plan that is easy to construct and smoothly hits the target May have potential disadvantages such as high drilling costs, poor stress state of the drill string, difficulty in meeting wellbore cleaning requirements, and long drilling cycles. The current trajectory optimization methods have not taken these factors into account, which cannot comprehensively and scientifically select wellbore trajectories, limiting the effective assessment of wellbore trajectories based on past oilfield experience.
