    Abstract: A location of a cut and an amount of force to be used in a pull operation for a plug & abandonment (P&A) operation can be determined. Measurements of at least one characteristic of fluids and solids disposed in an annulus defined between a casing and a wall of a wellbore can be received. A total fluid and solid friction force drag can be determined using hydrostatic force that is determined from the measurements. A mechanical friction force drag can be determined based on a weight of the casing. The mechanical friction force drag and the total fluid and solid friction force drag can be used to determine a friction factor. The friction factor can be used to determine a depth location at which to cut the casing and a pull force for pulling the casing from the wellbore in the P&A operation.
