ABSTRACT:
A system for creating an image of a combination of a completion string in a wellbore. An image of the wellbore is received and created. In addition, modeled data of the completion string is also created and received. The wellbore image data is combined with the completion string model data to create an image of the completion string positioned in the wellbore. Based on the combined image of the wellbore and a completion string, possible problem areas and optimum production zones are identified. The wellbore and completion string are deflected based on relative characteristics of the wellbore and completion string.
