A technique is designed to facilitate obtaining of acoustic data. The technique comprises traversing a tool through a subterranean formation from a first depth to subsequent depths. The tool receives a seismic signal during predetermined time windows. The seismic signal is generated by a seismic source which is activated at varying times relative to the predetermined time windows based on the depth of the tool.

Middleware services link multiple data sources to multiple software applications. In one implementation, the middleware receives data requests from different applications, each request including a set of data descriptions that specify which type of data is sought from multiple real-time data sources. The middleware adapts the requests from different types of applications, and the different data available from different real-time data sources, for compatibility with a single common user interface. A user can select which real-time data to map to the common user interface, while each application may request data through a different set of data descriptions. Adapters convert data formats and communication protocols of real-time data from multiple data sources for compatibility with a given requesting application. The adapters can be discovered dynamically without redeploying the middleware, enabling third-party developers to create and initiate the adapters to dynamically connect sources of real-time data to the applications via the middleware.

A method for displaying a bottom-hole assembly together with a borehole trajectory includes displaying the borehole trajectory in a display window; and displaying the bottom-hole assembly in the display window such that the borehole trajectory and the bottom-hole assembly are in parallel and a measurement depth of the bottom-hole assembly corresponds to a measurement depth of the borehole trajectory.
