Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to non-intrusively monitoring a fluid level or an object in a conduit. A system comprises a component positioned to control flow into or out of the conduit to induce pressure waves in the conduit; a pressure transducer in fluid communication with the conduit, the pressure transducer positioned to measure pressure responses in the conduit due to contact of the pressure waves with the fluid level or the object; and a system controller operable to: receive pressure data from the pressure transducer, the pressure data comprising the pressure responses; and determine a distance of the fluid level or the object in the conduit, relative to the component or the pressure transducer, based on the pressure responses.

A coiled tubing deployment system includes an offshore rig having a reel positioned thereon and coiled tubing wound on the reel. A guide arch is positioned on the offshore rig to receive the coiled tubing from the reel, and a tubing guide receives the coiled tubing from the guide arch and directs the coiled tubing into water. A depth counter measures a length of the coiled tubing deployed from the reel and generate one or more length measurement signals, and a set of bend sensors is positioned on the tubing guide to measure real-time strain assumed by the coiled tubing as deployed into the water and thereby generate one or more bend sensor signals. A data acquisition system receives the length measurement signals and the bend sensor signals and provides an output signal indicative of real-time bending fatigue of the coiled tubing at select locations along the coiled tubing.
