Actuation device for actuating a target sleeve valve assembly, and related systems and methods

An actuation device, comprising:

• a housing;
• a catch structure on or coupled to the housing, the catch structure being actuatable between an inactive state and an activated state, and wherein the catch structure allows the actuation device to:
• (i) travel through one or more non-target sleeve valve assemblies when the catch structure is in the inactive state;
• and (ii) seat in a target sleeve valve assembly when the catch structure is in the activated state;
• a first sensor operable for detecting, for each non-target sleeve valve assembly, a first detectable feature associated with the non-target sleeve valve assembly;
• a second sensor operable for detecting, for each non-target sleeve valve assembly, a second detectable feature associated with the non-target sleeve valve assembly;
• and
• a controller, operatively coupled to the first and second sensors, configured to
• detect, using the first sensor, the first detectable feature;
• detect, using the second sensor, the second detectable feature;
• and
• increase a sleeve valve assembly count value in response to detecting the first detectable feature and the second detectable feature within a predetermined time window, wherein the second detectable feature is different from the first detectable feature.

A controller for an actuation device comprising a catch structure actuatable between an inactive state and an activated state, a first sensor, and a second sensor, the catch structure allowing the actuation device to (i) travel through one or more non-target sleeve valve assemblies in a wellbore tubing string when the catch structure is in the inactive state, and (ii) seat in a target sleeve valve assembly when the catch structure is in the activated state, the controller comprising:

• a processor,
• memory having stored thereon processor executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
