         7 . The well bore tape of  claim 6 , wherein one or more of the laterally-spaced strips is arranged at an angle offset from orthogonal to at least one edge of the substrate. 
     
     
         8 . The wellbore tape of  claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant coating comprises a plurality of ceramic tiles bonded to the front surface of the substrate. 
     
     
         9 . The wellbore tape of  claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant coating exhibits a height that provides a standoff distance between a casing string and the wellbore conveyance. 
     
     
         10 . A well system, comprising:
 a conveyance extendable into a wellbore;   at least one control line extending externally to the conveyance; and   a length of wellbore tape wrapped at least partially around the conveyance and attaching the at least one control line thereto, the wellbore tape including a substrate having a front surface with a wear-resistant coating disposed on at least a portion thereof and a back surface with an adhesive layer disposed thereon, and the adhesive layer being configured to affix the substrate to an outer surface of the conveyance and remain adhered to the wellbore conveyance in a wellbore environment.   
     
     
         11 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein the substrate is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic or polymer, a composite, an elastomer, a woven fabric, and a metal foil. 
     
     
         12 . The well system of  claim 11 , wherein the material is cured by applying at least one of ultraviolet radiation, electron beam radiation, chemical catalysts, or heat to the material. 
     
     
         13 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein the wear-resistant coating is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a ceramic, an elastomer, a plastic or polymer, a metal, crystalline materials, and glass beads. 
     
     
         14 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein the adhesive layer comprises an adhesive selected from the group consisting of natural rubber-based adhesives, synthetic rubber-based adhesives, silicone adhesives, polyacrylate adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, solvent-based adhesives, polymer dispersion adhesives, contact adhesives, and reactive adhesives. 
     
     
         15 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein one or more of the laterally-spaced strips is arranged at an angle offset from orthogonal to at least one edge of the substrate. 
     
     
         16 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein the substrate is made of a material selected from the group comprising a plastic or polymer, a composite, an elastomer, a woven fabric, and a metal foil. 
     
     
         17 . The well system of  claim 10 , wherein the wear-resistant coating is made of a material selected from the group consisting of a ceramic, an elastomer, a plastic or polymer, a metal, and glass beads.
