Reservoir pressure will decline generally along with production in the oil and gas development process. There are some problems such as borehole collapse or reduced diameter and lost circulation in drilling of initial production stage in unconsolidated sandstone. As the formation pressure declines the stress around borehole changes, and then collapse pressure and fracture pressure are affected. Especially in directional wells, variation of wellbore stability is more complex with different borehole deviation and azimuth. The calculation models of collapse and fracture pressure in depleted reservoirs were established, and relevant data in unconsolidated sand reservoir of an oilfield in Bohai Sea was used to calculate collapse pressure and fracture pressure of directional wells in the condition of pressure depletion before and after. The results showed that collapse and fracture pressure decreased as formation pressure depletion, and safe drilling fluid density window was wider when drilled to the direction of minimum horizontal principle stress. The calculation results can be reference to drilling design of adjustment wells in unconsolidated sandstones.
