Abstract
A method for calibrating a model of a subterranean formation includes capturing one or more measurements at a surface of a wellbore that extends into a subterranean formation. The measurements include a surface torque (STOR) on a drill string that extends into the wellbore and a surface weight (SWOB) on the drill string. The method also includes determining a friction factor based upon the STOR when a drill bit is off-bottom in the wellbore. The drill bit is coupled to a lower end of the drill string. The method also includes determining a downhole torque on the drill bit (DTOR) and a downhole weight on the drill bit (DWOB) when the drill bit is on-bottom in the wellbore. The method also includes identifying a rock type in the subterranean formation based at least partially upon the friction factor, the DTOR, and the DWOB.
