Summary Friction and wear between casing and tool joint have been measured on full-scale equipment. The results show that the most important mud property, with respect to lubricity and protection against wear, is its ability to form a film that separates the two steel surfaces. Results from small-scale tests are shown to be nonrepresentative.
