1. A method for leak detection and isolation, comprising:
positioning a bottom hole assembly within a wellbore, wherein the bottom hole assembly comprises an acoustic logging tool, coiled tubing, and one or more inflatable packers;
detecting acoustic signal data from within the wellbore using the acoustic logging tool;
while running in hole, transmitting and analyzing the acoustic signal data in real time using edge computing;
based on the analyzed acoustic signal data, identifying a leak interval within the wellbore; and
isolating a leak in the leak interval using the bottom hole assembly.
