ABSTRACT:
A diagnostic tool which doubles as a sleeve shifting tool. The tool may include a diagnostic implement for measuring downhole conditions in a well such as flow-rate, pressure and temperature. Where the well includes a slidable or shiftable sleeve, the tool may be employed to slide such a sleeve for controlling communication between the well and an underground production region adjacent the location of the well. In this manner real time diagnostic assessment may occur at the well location in conjunction with means to affect the sleeve position. Thus, the need to run additional subsequent procedures with additional tools for affecting the sleeve position may be eliminated. As a result, substantial time and expense may be saved in conducting such well procedures.
