Abstract

A well system 20 comprising multiple sensors 42 deployed along the well string, e.g. drillstring, 22. The sensors 42 are designed to detect a desired parameter and to output data to a processor system 44 that may be a control system or other surface processor positioned at a surface location 46. Data from the sensors 42 is sent uphole via an appropriate communication line or communication lines 48. The communication lines 48 enable the communication of measurement data from multiple points along the well string 22 and the transmission of that data to processor system 44 in real-time. This, in turn, enables ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the operation, e.g. drilling operation, as the operation progresses. Processor system 44 is used to calculate or otherwise determine the position of each sensor 42 at the time the given parameter is measured by each sensor.
