چکیده
Electronics are used in modern oil and gas exploration to collect, log, and/or process data such as heading and inclination, weight on the bit, vibration, seismic/acoustic response, temperature, pressure, radiation, and resistivity of the strata. High-temperature electronics are needed that can reliably operate in deep-well conditions (up to 250°C). The U.S. Department of Energy Deep Trek program has funded two projects led by Honeywell. The first project, launched in 2003 and completed this year, established a production-level integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process, components and design tools [1-4] specifically targeting high-temperature environments (up to 250°C). The second project, launched in 2006 and completing in 2008, will develop rugged packaging suitable for down-hole shock and vibration environments which will be used to house and demonstrate components developed in the earlier project. This paper describes updated results of these successful projects.

State of the art of High Temperature Power Electronics
High temperature power electronics has become possible with the recent availability of silicon carbide devices. This material, as other wide-bandgap semiconductors, can operate at temperatures above 500°C, whereas silicon is limited to 150-200°C. Applications such as transportation or a deep oil and gas wells drilling can benefit. A few converters operating above 200°C have been demonstrated, b...
متن کاملElectronic components and circuits for extreme temperature environments
Planetary exploration missions and deep space probes require electrical power management and control systems that are capable of efficient and reliable operation in very low temperature environments. Presently, spacecraft operating in the cold environment of deep space carry a large number of radioisotope heating units in order to maintain the surrounding temperature of the on-board electronics...
متن کاملComparison of Tribological Behavior of Deep Cryogenic Treated Hot Work Tool Steel at Room and High Temperature
The deep cryogenic treatment is a complementary operation that is done on a variety of tool steels aimed at improving their abrasion resistance and hardness. In the case of the H13 hot-work steel, which is widely used at high temperatures as a hot-deformation tool, we need to determine the efficiency of subzero treatment on it at the working temperature. In this regard, this paper is focu...
متن کاملSurface hardness improvement in high efficiency deep grinding process by optimization of operating parameters
The grinding is one of the most important methods that directly affects tolerances in dimensions, quality and finished surface of products. One of the major problems in the material removal processes specially grinding is the heat generation during the process and the residual tensile stress in the surfaces of product. Therefore, optimization of High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) process is t...
