Structure-Aware Graph Neural Network with Representation Enhancement and Interpretability for Early Gas Kick Monitoring
This paper introduces a structure-aware intelligent monitoring framework for early gas kick detection. It models multivariate drilling parameters as an interacting graph, using a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to capture relational dependencies and anomaly propagation. To overcome data scarcity and enhance temporal discriminability, it integrates Conditional Tabular GANs (CTGAN) for data augmentation and shapelet-based temporal patterns for representation enhancement. A multi-level interpretability mechanism, combining graph attention and SHAP attribution, provides transparent insights into model decisions. The proposed GNN+CTGAN+Shapelet model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and F1-score on real drilling datasets, with interpretability aligning with engineering knowledge.

Key to Early Pattern Recognition
Transparent Decision-Making
The multi-level interpretability framework, combining Graph Attention Analysis and SHAP Attribution, provides transparent insights. It reveals that model decisions are primarily driven by flow-rate and standpipe-pressure-related temporal evolution patterns, which aligns well with drilling engineering knowledge, enhancing trust and practical applicability in safety-critical operations.
