  • GE Launch Addressable Downhole Switch – ADS

    The Addressable Downhole Switch (ADS) electrically connects or isolates the tool string beneath it, as instructed by the Addressable Downhole Switch Panel (ADSP). It provides a barrier to the accidental application of power to any tool located beneath it, and it can be integrated into a variety of toolstring configurations.

    ADS and ADSP

    The ADS is suitable for hazardous operations such as multi-party operations where the wireline cable may be passed between various service providers during an operation, or where high power devices, such as wireline tractors, are used to convey explosives.

    ADS is the ideal electrical isolation mechanism to help comply with new safety regulations on new ballistics opportunities. It also offers significant operational advantages in terms of reliability, ease of use, flexibility, and cost to operate. It achieves all of this by offering a certified device with some of the highest ratings for voltage, pass-through current, shock and vibration in the shortest length on the market.
