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 />
