Component Selection

Harsh Environment approved components/ designs require high reliability as well as availability of power to meet their system needs. The paper will explore the various design constrains imposed on the high temperature designs. Down hole oil and gas industry requires high reliability components that can withstand high temperature. Discrete component selection, packaging and constrains imposed by various specification requirements to meet harsh environment approval are critical aspect of high-temp designs. High temperature PCB material, PCB layout techniques, trace characteristics are an important aspect of high-temperature PCB design and will be explored in the article. Buck Converters are the basic building blocks, but in order to meet system requirements to power FPGA's where low output voltage and high currents are required. Converter must be able to provide wider step down ratios with high transient response so buck converters are used. The paper with explore the various features of a buck-based POL converter design. Low noise forces the need for Low-dropout (LDO) Regulators that can operate at high Temperatures up to 210°C. This paper will address the power requirements to meet system needs.

Abstract The decline of easily accessible reserves pushes the oil and gas industry to drill deeper to explore previously untapped wells. Temperatures in these wells can exceed 210 °C. Cooling and conventional heat extraction techniques are impractical in such a harsh environment. Reliable electronic designs that can sustain high temperature become necessary. This paper presents RF and IF microstrip combline band-pass filters for downhole communications, which can reliably operate up to 250 °C. Both filters are prototyped on a Rogers RO4003C substrate. Measured results at 250 °C show that the RF and IF filters have insertion losses of 4.53 dB and 3.45 dB, respectively. Both filters have stable performance at high temperatures. The maximum insertion loss variation with temperature for the RF filter is 1.88 dB, and bandwidth variation is 1.3 MHz. The maximum insertion loss variation with temperature for the IF filter is 1.48 dB, and bandwidth variation is 0.4 MHz. Return loss for the RF filter is more than 12 dB, and for the IF filter more than 10 dB in the passband. This paper also describes a simple method to find spacing between coupled symmetrical microstrip lines of a combline filter.

Project Location

Due to increasing demand for energy around the world, the prevalence of global megaprojects within the oil and gas industry is increasing. Process pipes, valves and vessels may be manufactured and coated in China or Korea, where labour costs are comparatively low, before being transported to the final project location, such as Western Australia. During the transport and fabrication phase, coated steelwork may spend months or even years exposed to harsh offshore or coastal environments before going into service. This means coatings must be able to provide protection throughout an extensive construction phase, in addition to the in-service lifetime of the steel. This paper examines the demands on high temperature performance coatings both before and once in service. Test methodology and exposure data are reviewed with a focus on how modern aluminium pigmented silicone coatings provide a solution to the corrosion challenges faced in global megaprojects.

Corrosion Under Insulation

: In the oil and gas Industry, insulation materials can be used widely for piping system, tank and vessel in either low or high temperature applications. CUI can cause equipment degradation, fluid leak, which lead to explosion or environmental pollution and the cost will very expensive. Therefore, CUI need to be detected early to prevent damage. Through experiment, Center for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) studied on establishing and appliying 4 NDT procedures for CUI examination on typical petroleum piping using in Vietnam. A discussion is presented below

Service Conditions

The discovery of oil fields in deepwater over the last decades led the oil and gas industry to the necessity of replacing the steel wire cables of the mooring systems of offshore platforms by polymeric ropes. These systems must be designed to work for at least 20 years without showing substantial loss in tensile strength or in their mechanical behavior along this period. However, some polymers present degradation by seawater through the process of hydrolysis, and the question whether it affects significantly the materials’ ultimate tensile strength arises. Accelerated hydrolysis tests were conducted in yarn samples of aramid at high temperature in order to use the Arrhenius correlation to predict their lifetime under service conditions. In order to decouple the total degradation into a thermal and a purely hydrolytic part, separate aging experiments were performed into a dry chamber and the conclusion was that thermal degradation does not play a significant role in the total degradation of aramid due to the water submersion at the temperatures tested.

Summary As the oil and gas industry is making firm strides in deepwater and shale exploration and development, possible thermal degradation of scale-inhibitor molecules poses a great challenge for scaling control and flow assurance for high-temperature reservoirs. Although extensive research has been conducted to test thermal stability of scale inhibitors, little work has been devoted to study the thermodynamics/kinetics of thermal degradation of scale inhibitors. In this work, a novel and efficient testing approach based on inhibition kinetics has been developed and successfully applied to determine the fraction of the active inhibitor molecules in preheated samples of scale inhibitors with various generic chemistries. Moreover, for the first time, we have modeled the kinetics of inhibitor thermal degradation on the basis of the integrated first-order rate equation and Arrhenius equation, with good agreements between the model predictions and experimental data. The preheated scale inhibitors have been analyzed by nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for organic-compound characterization. Our results and predictions based on inhibition testing assay are consistent with the 31P/1H NMR analyses. This work has enabled an in-depth understanding of the time and temperature dependence of thermal degradation of scale inhibitors, and facilitates the rational selection and deployment of scale inhibitors for high-temperature oil and gas production.
