In this paper to the coupled hydrodynamic and geomechanical simulation is presented. The physical poroelastic problem is mathematically interpreted and is solved within numerical simulation of fluid flow in reservoir and corresponding deformation processes. Special theoretical methods and their implementation in practice are presented for the problem of geomechanical and filtration processes occurring in the case of naturally fractured medium. The proposed algorithm is realized via special software created within the study. The process of developing a three-dimensional numerical dynamical geomechanical model of oil and gas field characterized by naturally fractured rocks is considered. Effect of mechanical parameters on the production rates is analyzed using a set of computational models, the appropriate sections of oil and gas field. The effect of changes in the pore pressure on the collector conductivity and ultimately on the characteristics of the production well is investigated.
