INTELLIGENT OPTIMIZATION DESIGN METHOD FOR HORIZONTAL WELL TRAJECTORY IN LONGDONG SHALE OIL

ABSTRACT
In order to select a better design trajectory, it needs to spend a lot of energy on parameter adjustment and calculation. Therefore, this paper establishes the intel­ligent optimization design model of horizontal well trajectory in with the target length and drilling string drag under rotary drilling conditions as the targets, and takes the target entry accuracy as the complex constraints. Meanwhile, multi-ob­jective optimization algorithm and distributed calculation are used to realize the automatic optimization of the well trajectory. Under the given arithmetic conditions, compared with the original design trajectory, a horizontal well was designed with this method, the trajectory length is shortened by 92.1 m, and the maximum build-up rate is changed from 5.50° per 30 m to 4.97° per 30 m, reducing by 9.6%. Under the same BHA and boundary conditions, the drag becomes 232.42 kN, which is 6.8% lower than that before optimization.
