Real-time downhole measurements for extreme CT operations

The ACTive Xtreme™ CT real-time rugged downhole measurement tool provides continuous downhole data during demanding CT interventions. Designed for harsh environments and difficult wellbore conditions, including HPHT applications, the rugged modular platform combines pressure, temperature, CCL, GR, force, torque, and acceleration measurements to provide greater visibility into downhole conditions.

Real-time measurements help operators monitor changing conditions, evaluate tool and motor response, and adjust intervention parameters while operations are in progress. The tool can monitor WOB during milling, identify changes in downhole motor torque, verify applied force, correlate depth, and evaluate shock and vibration during operations such as milling, fishing, jarring, perforating, stimulation, and wellbore hardware manipulation. By integrating these measurements in one platform, the ACTive Xtreme tool helps reduce operational uncertainty and improve intervention efficiency in challenging well conditions.

3D render of the ACTive Xtreme tool modules: the main telemetry module, the depth control module, and the load module.
The ACTive Xtreme tool comprises three modules: The main telemetry module (top) provides pressure and temperature measurements. The depth control module (middle) provides CCL and GR measurements. The load module (bottom) provides axial load and torque measurements.

Acquire multiple downhole measurements in real time

The ACTive Xtreme tool collects pressure and temperature measurements from inside and outside the tool. It also acquires force, torque, acceleration, CCL, and GR data. Fast-rate telemetry transmits these measurements to surface so that the intervention team can evaluate conditions as the operation progresses.

Monitor mechanical tool performance

During milling, the system measures WOB and torque response. Changes in motor torque or pressure can indicate a stall or changing downhole conditions, enabling the team to adjust operating parameters. During fishing, shifting, and hardware manipulation, force measurements help verify that the required mechanical load is being applied.

Confirm depth and downhole events

Combined CCL and GR measurements provide depth correlation with tubing, casing, and formation references. The triaxial accelerometer detects vibration and shock, helping confirm impacts during perforating, fishing, jarring, or operations that use impact hammers.

Support complex setting and pumping operations

Real-time measurements provide the feedback needed to control multistep packer-setting and other complex mechanical operations. The internal annular flow path supports high pumping rates for fluid placement, stimulation, cleanout, abrasive jetting, and related CT applications.
