Accurate pre-drilling mud weight window (MWW) prediction is crucial for drilling fluid design and wellbore stability in complex geological formations. Traditional physics-based approaches suffer from subjective parameter selection and inadequate handling of multi-mechanism over-pressured formations, while machine learning methods lack physical constraints and interpretability. This study develops a novel physics-guided deep learning framework integrating rock mechanics theory with deep neural networks for enhanced…
