Abstract
⺠Developed is a wellbore stability model in which anisotropic strength and two shear failure modes are considered. ⺠Wellbore failure depends on the relative orientation between well paths and weak planes. ⺠Safe mud weight also depends on their relative orientation. ⺠Generally an up-dip drilling is more stable than other drilling directions.
