A downhole tool coupling () comprises first () and second () downhole tool elements that are securable one to the other in a releasably locking manner by moving the tool elements from a longitudinally relatively less proximate, especially overlapping position into longitudinally relatively more overlap with one another. The first downhole tool element () supports a first inductive, capacitative and/or magnetic energy coupler () and the second downhole tool element () supports a second inductive, capacitative and/or magnetic energy coupler (). The first and second energy couplers () are moveable from an energetically uncoupled position when the tool elements () are in the longitudinally relatively less overlapping position to an energetically coupled position when the first and second downhole tool elements () overlap relatively more.
