Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein facilitate coiled tubing operations, and generally relate to generating a depth of solids origin (DSO) guess that represents a depth location of solids in a wellbore traversing a hydrocarbon-bearing formation, using a calibrated flow model (FM) to predict an amount of solids at a surface location of the wellbore based at least in part on the DSO guess, comparing the predicted amount of the solids at the surface location of the wellbore to a measured amount of solids at the surface location of the wellbore, determining that the DSO guess is equal to an actual DSO within the wellbore when the predicted amount of the solids at the surface location of the wellbore matches the measured amount of solids at the surface location of the wellbore, and adjusting one or more operational parameters of a coiled tubing system to reduce an amount of the solids at the DSO within the wellbore.
