Keywords: geomechanics, well, geomechanical modeling, method of final elements, stability.
Results of modeling stability of controlled directional wells borehole drilled through the unstable beds with lack of reliable information about geomechanical characteristics of rocks are presented. The program complex in which is realized the elasto-plastic transversal-isotropic medium with Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion and taking into account possibility of shifts by bedding was used.
