  • Publication number: 20220170361
    Abstract: A risk assessment-based design method for a deep complex formation wellbore structure includes: (1) preliminarily determining casing layers and setting depths; (2) calculating to obtain the risk coefficients of each layer of casing; (3) analyzing and coordinating, according to the principle that a shallow casing shares more risks and a deep casing shares less risks, the risks of each layer of casing: determining whether the risk coefficients of each layer of casing are greater than a safety threshold value K; checking the setting depth: if the safety coefficient of an ith-layer casing satisfies RNi>K, selecting a casing layer with the minimum safety coefficient from upper casing layers, and deepening the setting depth h of the casing layer; and (4) repeating the steps (2) to (3) until the casing risk coefficients of each layer of casing are less than the safety threshold value K.
