Patent ID: 8042617

Claim:
A method comprising: coupling a first flexible interconnect to a first tool; disposing at least the first flexible interconnect and the first tool in a pressurized internal passage; supporting the first flexible interconnect within the passage, including placing at least a portion of the first flexible interconnect under tension loading independent of support of a wireline, wherein the tension loading resists any flexing of the tension-loaded portion of the first flexible interconnect to facilitate a sealing engagement; and wherein placing at least a portion of the first flexible interconnect under tension loading comprises, coupling a first clamp to the first flexible interconnect; engaging the first clamp with a tool trap; and suspending at least the first tool by the first flexible interconnect in response to engaging the first clamp with the tool trap; and sealingly engaging the tension-loaded portion of the first flexible interconnect so that a first portion of the pressurized internal passage is fluidicly isolated from a second portion of the pressurized internal passage.
