Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating a formation comprising: conveying a formation evaluation tool in a borehole on a tubular carrier extending from a surface location to the formation evaluation tool; positioning the formation evaluation tool at a selected borehole location; wherein a fluid passage extends through a downhole and is routed to bypass the formation evaluation tool and the fluid passage exits the downhole sub second end at a connection that established fluidic communication with a motor and a bit; extending a cable from the surface location to the formation evaluation tool at the selected borehole location; establishing a connection between the cable and the formation evaluation tool at the selected borehole location; and sending an electrical signal from the surface location to the formation evaluation tool over the cable extending from the surface location to the formation evaluation tool to operate the formation evaluation tool in-situ to evaluate the formation.
