1. A system for performing an intervention operation in a wellbore using a friction reducer fluid, comprising:
a coiled tubing insertable into the wellbore;
a pump operable to pump the friction reducer fluid through the coiled tubing and into the wellbore;
sensors operable to detect wellbore conditions; and
a controller comprising a processor, wherein the controller is operable to automatically:
predict a wellbore depth at which the coiled tubing will incur a lock-up in the future based on the wellbore conditions; and
control the pump to pump the friction reducer fluid though the coiled tubing and into the wellbore to prevent the future lock-up.
