The disclosure presents processes and methods for determining an overpull force for a stuck drill string in a borehole system. The fluid composition of a mud in the borehole at a specified depth can be broken down into a percentage of liquid and percentage of solids, as well as adjusting for material sag and settling factors. The fluid composition can be utilized to identify friction factors and drag in respective fluid composition zones. Each friction factor and drag can be summed to determine a total fluid drag on the drill string. In some aspects, the total fluid drag can be adjusted utilizing the relative positioning of casing collars and tool joints. The total fluid drag can be summed with the other force factors, such as a shear force and mechanical drag. The total drag can then be utilized as the overpull force applied to the stuck drill string.
