Abstract
A method according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure includes moving a piston of a displacement unit to pump a fluid through first and second flowlines hydraulically connected to the displacement unit through a valve network. The method also includes monitoring flowing pressure in the first flowline and monitoring pressure in a first chamber of the displacement unit. The method further includes opening a first active valve of the valve network in response to the monitored pressure in the first chamber being about equal to or less than the monitored flowing pressure in the first flowline.
