Abstract
A method of monitoring a coiled tubing operation includes positioning a bottom hole assembly (BHA) connected to a coiled tubing string within a horizontal wellbore. The method includes monitoring a plurality of sensors connected to the BHA via a communication line positioned within the coiled tubing string and determining an optimal injection speed of the coiled tubing string by monitoring the sensors in real-time. The injection speed of the coiled tubing may be changed based on the real-time determination of the optimal injection speed. The sensors may be monitored in real-time to determine an optimal amount of lubricant to be injected into a wellbore or whether the coiled tubing string is forming a helix. The BHA may include a tractor or a vibratory tool to aid in the movement of the BHA along a horizontal wellbore. The communication line may be used to power the sensors, tractor, and vibratory tool.
