Abstract
Embodiments presented provide for a multi-flowline control system and methods for dynamically switching fluid flow in downhole tools. The method may include operating the downhole tool in a first valve configuration, the downhole tool configured to sample fluid from a geological stratum, sending an actuation signal to the first valve configuration, receiving the actuation signal at the first valve configuration, altering the first valve configuration to a second valve configuration, where the first valve configuration allows for sampling of fluids from the geological stratum outside the downhole tool to the second valve configuration and where the downhole tool is configured to operate in a closed-loop configuration wherein sampling of fluids from the geological stratum is not possible, and circulating fluids within the closed loop configuration.
