Abstract
Abstract Drilling directional wells challenges designers. Apart from known problems until now they face exact description of stress distribution in near wellbore region issue. Paper presents analysis of stress state taking into account drilling direction. The transposed in-situ stress state relative to the borehole coordinate system (Cartesian borehole coordinate system) and the total stress component at the borehole wall (cylindrical coordinate system) exhibits cyclic behaviour with respect to drilling direction of borehole. It allows to find optimal wellbore path
