Abstract: Effective prediction of petroleum exploration risks is of great significance for optimizing exploration deployment and improving drilling success rate and economic benefits. Based on the analysis of the progress of risk prediction technology, a new prediction method of petroleum exploration risks is proposed based on Bayesian network. The transformation process from petroleum geological problems to probability prediction model is discussed, and the algorithm and prediction steps of average one-dependence estimators (AODE) training model are constructed. The quantitative evaluation of geological conditions of hydrocarbon accumulation in the Jurassic Sangonghe Formation in the hinterland of Junggar Basin is conducted, four main geological parameters of hydrocarbon supply, reservoir, trap, cap rock and preservation are determined, and a data set composed of parameters from 203 exploration wells is established. The results of five-fold cross validation show that: (1) The discrimination accuracy of the training set of four Bayesian networks (Naive Bayesian classifier, tree-augmented Bayesian classifier, AODE and k-dependence Bayesian classifier) is greater than 85%, indicating that the classification of parameters in the training set is effective; (2) The discrimination accuracy of the test set is greater than 82%, indicating a high success rate of prediction. AODE has the best prediction results, with an accuracy of 85.22%, therefore, it is used to predict the risk of petroleum exploration in the study area. The prediction results of AODE model not only agreed well with the exploration results within the reserve area, but also supported to predict favorable areas of three types of oil and gas resources outside the reserve area.
