    Abstract: A method includes determining a rotational position of a crankshaft in a multiplex pump from one or more sensors disposed on the crankshaft, determining a position of each of a plurality of pistons along a corresponding pump bore in relation to a total stroke length of each piston and a connecting rod length, calculating an individual theoretical displaced volume of fluid for each of the pump bores in the multiplex pump based on the rotational position of the crankshaft, and summing the individual theoretical displaced volumes to determine a total theoretical pumped volume by the multiplex pump. A calibration method includes determination of the multiplex pump efficiency versus speed and discharge pressure, and the effect of pump leakage and valve closing delay on the pump efficiency. Verification of the pump performance and efficiency may be controlled during pumping to insure the validity of the last calibration data set.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for acquiring data in a wellbore. The method includes deploying an instrument connected to an instrument line into a drill string, through a sealed entry port formed in a drilling device coupled to the drill string, the drill string being at least partially within the wellbore, the wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The method also includes transmitting a signal from a source and through the formation. The signal is sensed by the instrument in the drill string. The method further includes determining one or more formation characteristics based on the signal sensed by the instrument, and performing one or more drilling processes using the drill string, while transmitting the signal, determining the one or more formation characteristics, or both.

    Abstract: An apparatus having a skid, a boom having a first end attached to the skid and pivotable around an axis proximate the first end such that a second end of the boom raises and lowers relative to the skid, and a room mounted on the skid. The apparatus may further include a raisable apparatus supported by the second end of the boom and having one or more plug panels configured to connect to one or more first cables. The apparatus may also include second cables routed from the raisable apparatus and attached to and supported at least in part by the boom, wherein the second cables may be configured to provide electrical power to the raisable apparatus.
