Abstract
A downhole tool connection comprises (i) a tool intended for downhole use and including a connection section protruding therefrom in use in an uphole direction, the connection section supporting two or more first connectors spaced from one another and operatively connected to the tool; and (ii) a cable carrier moveable in an in-use downhole direction towards the connection section. The cable carrier supports (a) one or more cables and (b) two or more second connectors spaced from one another and operatively connected to at least one cable. Pairs of the first and second connectors are mutually connectable, on movement of the cable carrier towards the connection section to increase the proximity of the connectors of the pairs, in a manner effecting electrical transmission between the connectors of each pair. At least one pair of the connectors connects inductively, and at least one pair of the connectors connects conductively.
