Zusammenfassung:	A method for monitoring condition of a wellbore includes initializing a value of at least one parameter having a relationship to likelihood of a drill string becoming stuck in a wellbore (the HCF). During drilling operations, at least one drilling parameter having a determinable relationship to the HCF is measured. In a computer, the value of the HCF is recalculated based on the at least one measured parameter. The initial value of the HCF and the recalculated values of the HCF are displayed to a user.
