Claim:
1. A method of fracturing a wellbore formation comprising: positioning an end of a coiled tubing string adjacent a first location within a wellbore, the tubing string extending from a surface location to the first location; pumping fluid down the wellbore at a pumping pressure to perform a fracturing procedure to fracture a wellbore formation adjacent the first location; monitoring a pressure within the wellbore adjacent the first location in real time during pumping fluid down the wellbore and the fracturing of the wellbore formation with at least one sensor connected to the surface via a communication line positioned within an interior of the coiled tubing string; and modifying the fracturing procedure in real time with pumping fluid down the wellbore and fracturing the wellbore based on monitoring the pressure within the wellbore, wherein modifying the fracturing procedure in real time comprises changing the pumping pressure of the fluid being pumped down the wellbore while continuing to pump fluid down the wellbore to continue to fracture the wellbore, wherein the pumping pressure is changed at the surface and without the use of downhole flow regulators.
