Abstract
A friction manager may receive time data for hookload, weight-on-bit (WOB), and torque for a wellbore. A friction manager may use the time data for the hookload, the WOB, and the torque, to identify a section of steady-state motion in the wellbore. A friction manager may generate friction forces for the section of steady-state motion based on the time data for the hookload, the WOB, and the torque. A friction manager may adjust drilling activities based on the friction forces.
