Most studies related to aspects of wellbore stability, such as wellbore breakage, block dropping, and wellbore expansion, revolve around the physicochemical interaction between drilling fluid and surrounding rock, but relevant studies show that drill string vibration during drilling also has a crucial and even decisive influence on wellbore stability. In order to thoroughly explore the influence mechanism of drill string vibration on wellbore stability, our research group established a finite element flexible simulation model of drill string dynamics and used a storage downhole vibration measurement device to collect downhole real drilling vibration data to verify the correctness of the simulation model. Then, based on the critical conditions of wellbore breakage, a wellbore stability evaluation method was established, and the wellbore stability under different drilling parameters and drilling tool combination conditions was evaluated and analyzed. The research results play an important role in revealing the influence mechanism of drill string vibration on wellbore stability and can provide theoretical guidance for engineering problems such as wellbore instability risk assessment.
