A method and apparatus for communicating between downhole tools without the necessity of routing the communication through a surface module. Communications sent by downhole tools are examined and extracted downhole. If the communications are intended for other downhole tools, the communications are copied to a downlink and send to a specific intended tool, a group of tools, or all the tools. This is all done downhole, significantly reducing the latency between command and response.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant la communication entre des outils de fond sans la nécessité d'acheminer cette communication par l'intermédiaire d'un module de surface. Les communications envoyées par les outils de fond sont examinées et extraites au fond du trou. Si ces communications sont destinées à d'autres outils de fond, elles sont transmises à une liaison descendante et envoyées à un outil destinataire particulier, à un groupe d'outils ou à la totalité des outils. Toutes ces opérations s'effectuent au fond du trou, ce qui réduit considérablement le temps de latence entre l'instruction et la réaction.
