Development of ruggedized timer and temperature sensor packaging for 300°C/30kpsi downhole environment

Novel high temperature polymeric encapsulation material for extreme environment electronics packaging

“…Advances in the field of oil drilling [1][2][3][4][5] and geothermal energy [6][7][8] extraction have made it possible to tap into previously uneconomic energy reserves that are hard to reach, such as crude oil reservoirs in deep sea locations or geothermal energy reserves stored at temperature around 300 °C and pressure above 200 MPa [9,10]. Finding and accessing these untouched reserves involve operating in increasingly harsh conditions, as well as ensuring the survivability of delicate electronic components in order to deliver high-quality measurements reliably.…”
