Abstract
An apparatus, a method and a system control fluid flow through a passageway. A downhole tool pumping apparatus may have a body and an active valve block. The body has a cavity housing a reciprocating piston defining first and second chambers within the cavity. The active valve block has active valves configured to be actively actuated between an open position and the closed position. Two or more hydraulic lines may be connected to each active valve for controlling actuating between the open position and the closed position. A piston having a conduit is slidably disposed through the passageway and selectively closes the conduit of the piston by moving at least one of the piston and a plug.
