1. A method, comprising:
detecting, using an interrogator of a distributed acoustic sensing system, one or more properties of a waveguide having a downhole end and an uphole end; and
responsive to the detected one or more properties, positioning into a passage of a wellbore the waveguide while minimizing a tension thereof,
wherein the passage comprises a vertical portion having a heel and a horizontal portion having a toe,
wherein the detecting comprising detecting, using the interrogator of the distributed acoustic sensing system, the one or more properties of the waveguide while the waveguide is being conveyed by fluid flow into the vertical portion and the horizontal portion, and
wherein the waveguide is positioned in the horizontal portion at a constant fluid flow rate by controlling a speed of a fluid displacement device to minimize change in velocity and/or acceleration of the waveguide as the waveguide transitions from a gravity-based deployment to a fluid-propelled deployment.
