    2. Program Goal To make high-temperature long life components commercially viable for those who produce them. In order to reduce production cost of both geothermal and fissile fuel energy.

    3. HT Wellbore Applications Are Not Alone The HT electronics industry needs are growing. Here are the temperature of three industries. If Geothermal were show then it would the highest.The HT electronics industry needs are growing. Here are the temperature of three industries. If Geothermal were show then it would the highest.

    4. Why Sandia’s Program Is Based On Improving HT Components

    5. Step1. Building a 250C pressure/temperature tool gives Sandia the ability to demonstrate continuing developments in new HT2L components. I have not signed any NDA with service companies because the component manufacturers need to sell to all service companies.Step1.

    6. SOI vs Bulk Silicon SOI electronics build transistors on a non-conducting layer to greatly reduce thermal generated error current (~100X) This is simply the best method for reliable integrated circuits

    7. Silicon-On-Insulator Technology

    8. First Application: Turbine Engine Controllers In general, aircraft engine controller contains most of the electronics needed for building a logging tool.

    9. First SOI 250C Unshielded Tool

    11. New Chip Enables Tool Development March 2001, the Sandia designed HT83SNL00 was delivered! This device is commercially available through Honeywell. Nov 2001, completed a downhole test inside a 240°C well for some 40 hrs (two other wells at 200°C, 210°C also were logged). After well log, the tool was placed within an oven at 225°C for 1200 hrs and then 500 additional hrs at 250°C!!!

    12. Laboratory Testing of Honeywell SOI Reliable Operation Demonstrated For 225şC Over 2.2M Devices Hours at 225şC with 300K hours MTBF Established wear out times of greater than 5 Years at 225şC TRW has presented similar data independent of Honeywell Apparent MTBF of 10 years at temperatures < 175 şC Potential for 15-20 year MTBF at temperatures < 125 şC Conventional “Bulk” silicon electronics can not compete with temperature and life performance

    13. Commercialize to Jump Start Industry Sandia is working with 8 companies to develop new products from PTS tools and gamma tools to intelligent well completion systems in the North Sea. By helping a few companies develop new high-temperature long life tools, we hope to jump start component industry while educating consumers to expect more from the service providers.

    16. New for FY 2003 Planning two permanently installed (cemented in place) wellbore monitors for earthquake research at +100 °C Planning one 175-200 °C, high pressure well for permanently installed PT measurements. This is a three year program. All three wells are to be connected to the internet for continuous monitoring.

    17. Future Developments Component standard for HT2L components is needed Encourages across industry development Greatly eases writing development specifications First standard meet is scheduled for Oct 2, 2002 Mostly needed components (in order of ranking) Field Programmable Gate Array Batteries/Capacitors EEPROM, 16 bit uP, Power Driver Potential for a consortium to develop new components listed above

    18. The Last Word Sandia is focusing on component development needed for greatly improved downhole tools and systems We are on steep growth curve to establish a viable high-temperature and long life electronics industry to support a wide range of high-temperature applications
