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