Abstract: In a snubbing operation, a method is used for determining when a wellbore should be circulated by comparing calculated torque and drag values from a clean wellbore against actual torque and drag values. In a more expansive application, for working a well, a method is used for optimizing performance of the drilling operation by comparing calculated torque and drag values from a clean well against actual torque and drag values.
