## Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and apparatus for automatically generating a pull test schedule and/or executing one or more pull tests. In certain embodiments, a priori data may be used to automatically generate a pull test plan or schedule. In addition, in certain embodiments, real-time data may be used to automatically and/or manually adjust or fine-tune the pull test schedule. In addition, in certain embodiments, an application may automatically generate a pull test schedule and/or automate one or more pull tests. In addition, in certain embodiments, the application may automatically advise a coiled tubing (CT) operator regarding where and how to pull test in substantially real-time.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
performing a coiled tubing (CT) operation including deploying a string of CT pipe into a wellbore;
receiving a priori data relating to the CT operation; and
automatically generating a pull test schedule based on the a priori data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the pull test schedule defines a first set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are encouraged and a second set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are discouraged.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the pull test schedule also defines pull lengths for respective pull tests.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more fatigue models for the CT pipe.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more mechanical defect records relating to the CT pipe.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more weak points in the CT pipe.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more hole surveys relating to the wellbore.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more well completion schematics that define geometries of completion equipment deployed into the wellbore via the string of the CT pipe.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the a priori data comprises a description of a bottom hole assembly deployed into the wellbore via the string of the CT pipe.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising:
receiving real-time operational data relating to the CT operation in substantially real time during performance of the CT operation; and
automatically adjusting the pull test schedule based on the real-time operational data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the real-time operational data comprises surface measurements relating to operation of surface equipment during the CT operation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the real-time operational data comprises downhole measurements relating to operation of downhole equipment during the CT operation.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the real-time operational data comprises pipe integrity measurements for the CT pipe.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the real-time operational data comprises a CT pipe fatigue profile that is updated in real time by one or more fatigue models.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising automatically adjusting operational parameters of the CT operation based on the pull test schedule.

### Claim 16

A well control system configured to:
receive a priori data relating to a coiled tubing (CT) operation during which a string of CT pipe is deployed into a wellbore; and
automatically generate a pull test schedule based on the a priori data, wherein the pull test schedule defines a first set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are encouraged and a second set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are discouraged, and wherein the pull test schedule also defines pull lengths for respective pull tests.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The well control system of claim 16, wherein the a priori data comprises one or more fatigue models for the CT pipe, one or more mechanical defect records relating to the CT pipe, one or more weak points in the CT pipe, one or more hole surveys relating to the wellbore, one or more well completion schematics that define geometries of completion equipment deployed into the wellbore via the string of the CT pipe, a description of a bottom hole assembly deployed into the wellbore via the string of the CT pipe, or some combination thereof.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The well control system of claim 16, wherein the well control system is configured to:
receive real-time operational data relating to the CT operation in substantially real time during performance of the CT operation, wherein the real-time operational data comprises surface measurements relating to operation of surface equipment during the CT operation, downhole measurements relating to operation of downhole equipment during the CT operation, pipe integrity measurements for the CT pipe, a CT pipe fatigue profile that is updated in real time by one or more fatigue models, or some combination thereof; and
automatically adjust the pull test schedule based on the real-time operational data.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The well control system of claim 16, wherein the well control system is configured to automatically adjust operational parameters of the CT operation based on the pull test schedule.

### Claim 20

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive a priori data relating to a coiled tubing (CT) operation during which a string of CT pipe is deployed into a wellbore; and
automatically generate a pull test schedule based on the a priori data, wherein the pull test schedule defines a first set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are encouraged and a second set of intervals of the string of the CT pipe where pull tests are discouraged, and wherein the pull test schedule also defines pull lengths for respective pull tests.
