Abstract
A system for estimating a velocity of a downhole component is disclosed. The system includes: a sensor configured to produce a sensor signal that is proportional to at least one of a position and an acceleration of the downhole component; and a circuit in communication with the sensor and configured to receive the sensor signal and generate an output signal indicative of an instantaneous velocity of the downhole component. A method of estimating a velocity of a downhole component is also disclosed.

A system for estimating a velocity of a downhole component, the system comprising:
- a sensor configured to produce a sensor signal that is proportional to at least one of a position and an acceleration of the downhole component;
- and
- a circuit in communication with the sensor and configured to receive the sensor signal and generate an output signal indicative of an instantaneous velocity of the downhole component.
A method of estimating a velocity of a downhole component, the method comprising:
- lowering a sensor into a borehole in an earth formation, the sensor configured to produce a sensor signal that is proportional to at least one of a position and an acceleration of the downhole component;
- activating the sensor to generate the sensor signal;
- and
- transmitting the signal to a circuit and generating an output signal indicative of an instantaneous velocity of the downhole component via the circuit.
