Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein include sidewall coring tools with active circulation caused by bi-directional downhole pump modules included in the sidewall coring tools. The active flow of mud through the sidewall coring tools may be adjustable in substantially real time during coring operations performed by the sidewall coring tools. In general, the ability to actively control the flow of mud through the sidewall coring tools enables lubrication and assists in moving cuttings during coring operations away from the coring bit.
