ACTive multicycle system for actuated response
Enable precise, selective downhole tool actuation for efficient, tailored multilateral stimulation in one run
ACTive powered downhole measurements system
Saves time, improves efficiency and data quality, and eliminates battery risks in CT interventions
Overview
The powered downhole measurements system of ACTive™ real-time downhole coiled tubing services revolutionizes CT intervention by delivering continuous power and real-time fiber-optic data from surface to downhole tools via a hybrid cable. This eliminates the need for downhole batteries, enabling uninterrupted operation of powered tools—including logging instruments—throughout the intervention.
Operators benefit from enhanced data quality, improved decision making, and increased operational efficiency, as tools can now run continuously without battery-related limitations.

Features
ACTive powered downhole measurements system comprises:
- software to monitor and control toolstring power and operations
- surface power module that provides the power to the tools
- continuous electrical interface between the stationary power unit and the rotating CT reel
- surface pressure bulkhead that terminates the optical fibers and conductors
- downhole power management sub
- hybrid electrical and fiber-optic cable inside the tubing.
ACTive powered downhole measurements system eliminates the battery module and simplifies rigup for operations such as selective stimulation and perforating, which often have long BHAs.
How It Works
ACTive powered downhole measurements system enables real-time data acquisition during CT interventions, delivering continuous fiber-optic data and power from surface to downhole tools. This eliminates the need for batteries, allowing tools to operate uninterrupted for extended durations and streamlining operations by reducing trips to the surface.
With fewer trips to the surface for battery replacement, operations become much more efficient. Downhole tools that were once used intermittently to avoid battery depletion can now be used continuously to improve data quality and interpretation for enhanced decision making and better operational performance. Having access to continuous power downhole expands the possibilities—now you can deploy new tools and perform operations that were once impossible because of battery limitations.
By integrating DTS and pressure, flow, and depth monitoring, the powered downhole measurements system supports enhanced decision making, improved intervention accuracy, and optimized wellsite performance. The system is compatible with standard CT units and BHAs, and is designed for HPHT environments.
The powered downhole measurements system contributes to safer, more sustainable operations by removing lithium batteries, reducing hazardous waste, and minimizing mechanical lifting. Its continuous power delivery enables advanced applications such as selective stimulation, perforating, and real-time diagnostics—operations previously limited by battery constraints.
The ACTive powered downhole measurements system extends the performance of CT downhole tools to improve operational efficiency, data delivery, and environmental footprint.
