Abstract
A technique facilitates control over the positioning of a well tool in a wellbore or other type of borehole. A well tool is combined with a centralizer system. The centralizer system has a plurality of extension members which are oriented to extend outwardly, e.g. radially outwardly, from the well tool. The extension members of the plurality of extension members are controllable to enable controlled positioning of the well tool within the borehole. The extension members may be actuated to centralize the well tool along a desired borehole axis.
