Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method for controlling a coiled tubing unit at a well site is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processing device, wellbore data. The method further includes generating, by the processing device, an automated coiled tubing control plan for the coiled tubing unit based at least in part on the wellbore data. The method further includes controlling, by the processing device, the coiled tubing unit using the automated coiled tubing control plan to cause coiled tubing to run into a wellbore at the well site to a target depth, wait a waiting period of time, and cause the coiled tubing to run out of the wellbore.
