Abstract—Drilling engineering is not only a systematic<br />
engineering that involves several workcategories, work<br />
procedures,intersectant and continuous operation, but also<br />
is a concealed underground engineering. There are<br />
uncertain factors in drilling projects, which have the<br />
characteristics of high investment and risk. On the basis of<br />
the overall analysis of the two factors of geology and<br />
engineering, the risk evaluation model of drilling project is<br />
established by creating the hierarchy structure of drilling<br />
risk and introducing the uncertain measure comprehensive<br />
evaluation method. Taking Yanchang Oilfield 21 Well as an<br />
example, a comprehensive evaluation is studied and then<br />
draw a reliable conclusion. Therefore, unascertained<br />
measure evaluation method is applicable, efficient, and<br />
necessary to promote safety production, which provides the<br />
new way for risk assessment of drilling project..<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />
Drilling is a covert and underground work, which is<br />
full of fuzzinesses, randomness and uncertainty, so it is<br />
truely a kind of high-risk work. The object of drilling is<br />
the stratum rock, and the goal is the oil and gas<br />
exploration. In drilling operation process, the lack of<br />
understanding to rock buried deeply in earth crust<br />
(objective factor) or technical factor (engineering factor)<br />
as well as decision-making fault (human factor) tend to<br />
bring about many complex mine situations and even<br />
serious downhole accidents that consume effort, money<br />
and time and may even lead to the waste of oil and gas<br />
resource as well as the abandonment of the mining site.<br />
According to analysis of drilling data in recent years, the<br />
time of solving complex mine situations and drilling<br />
accidents approximately accounts for 5%~8% of the total<br />
drilling time. Dealing with complex mine situations<br />
caused by geologic agent correctly and avoiding or<br />
reducing drilling accidents caused by decision fault have<br />
important significance to guarantee safety production,<br />
staff health and environmental protection[1]. Therefore,<br />
combined with engineering characteristics of drilling,<br />
comprehensive evaluation of drilling risks is made on the<br />
basis of analysis of single-factor,so as to provide a basis<br />
for scientific decision-making.<br />
II. RISK RECOGNITION OF DRILLING<br />
On the basis of the overall analysis of survey results of<br />
local drilling environment; drilling activities prone to<br />
accidents; routine management experience; people's<br />
behavior, physical condition and environmental factors<br />
etc., we carries on the distinction to various risks in a<br />
latent state in drilling implementation process. Only<br />
identificating drilling risks accurately, knowing types,<br />
characteristics and potential hazard of risk incident can<br />
we take the necessary steps to guard against.<br />
There are a large number of factors that make drilling<br />
complex and dangerous, but in summary , of which<br />
mainly are two categories---geological factors (the<br />
objective conditions), and engineering factors (subjective<br />
decision-making) [2] .<br />
A. Geological factors<br />
In terms of oil and gas drilling projects, the geological<br />
factors include rock types and its nature of engineering<br />
mechanics , geological structure, formation fluid<br />
situation and stratigraphy circumstances and so on.<br />
Taking into account the complexity of geological factors<br />
and the extent of indicators quantified, geological factor<br />
is divided to formation factor and sulfur-containing gases.<br />
1) Formation factor :Drilling is a process of drilling<br />
gradually by constantly breaking formation rock. Drilling<br />
process and its risk factors closely related to the<br />
mechanical properties of rock and formation pressures,<br />
which directly influence drilling efficiency and<br />
technological measures, particularly the balance between<br />
formation pressure and bottom-hole pressure. In oil and<br />
gas drilling, we should maintain balance between<br />
formation pressure and bottom-hole pressure (static liquid<br />
column pressure). Otherwise, many complex situations or<br />
accidents such as well-kick, blowout, lost circulation,<br />
fracturing formation are likely to happen, so as to make<br />
drilling difficult to carry out, and even make borehole<br />
abandoned.<br />
2)Sulfur-containing gases : Sulfur-containing gases<br />
mainly refers to the hydrogen sulfide gases encountered<br />
in the process of drilling. The sources of hydrogen sulfide<br />
can be attributed to the following kinds::1sulfate in the<br />
stratum produces hydrogen sulfide under hightemperature<br />
reduction; 2 decomposition of the sulfurcontaining<br />
in oil compounds and resultes in hydrogen<br />
sulfide; 3hydrogen sulfide in deep crust migrate and<br />
accumulate upwards through cracks; 4decomposition of<br />
