Abstract

See full text

An example method includes introducing a string of tubing into a wellbore to perform a primary operation, the string of tubing including at least one sensor for measuring strain and at least one device operatively associated with the at least one sensor. The method further includes translating the string of tubing relative to the wellbore, imparting a load on the string of tubing when the tubing becomes stuck in the wellbore at a stuck point, and thereby generating strain in the string of tubing above the stuck point. Additionally, the method includes measuring the strain with the at least one sensor, transmitting data indicative of the strain to a surface location with the at least one device, and determining a position of the at least one sensor in the wellbore, as based on the strain, relative to the stuck point.
