The south bank of Tarim river is one of the main areas for exploration and development of the Tarim Oilfield to increase reserves and production, with deep and ultra-deep layers as the main exploration targets. However, due to the development of Permian igneous rocks, frequent incidents of lost circulation and stuck occur during the drilling process, which seriously restrict the drilling speed. To this end, in the drilling and completion stages, the complexity early warning of downhole accidents is carried out in advance through the geology-engineering integration technology, so as to reduce the complexity of engineering accidents in the drilling process. That is, before drilling, seismic, well logging and mud logging identification methods are used to summarize the distribution of igneous rocks and the combination of igneous rock facies, to predict the lithology of a single well, to establish a geological risk prediction template, to guide the selection of drill bits, and to formulate lost circulation prevention measures in advance. During drilling, the combination of mud logging technologies such as elements, whole rock, rock thin section identification, and scanning electron microscope is used to identify igneous rock lithology from the perspective of "chemical composition + microstructure", establish igneous rock identification criteria, carry out igneous rock lithology identification, and achieve accurate site layer determination, fracture identification, drillability evaluation, so as to conduct real-time risk early warning. Post drilling, the construction experience is summarized, and the penetration rate improvement template for safe drilling in Permian igneous rock sections is perfected, which provides guidance for subsequent drilling. The geology-engineering integration technology provides technical support of the geology for the optimization of drilling construction in igneous rock development area, effectively reduces the regional accident complexity rate, and improves time efficiency of drilling.
