This paper reports the field results obtained from application of a system that provides both pre-job modeling capabilities and real-time monitoring of maximum stress levels in the entire intervention stack, from the wellhead to the injector assembly. In addition, the paper documents the dynamic movement capabilities recently incorporated in the model and validation of the model calculations.
