Low stress package design is one of the greatest challenges for the realization of reliable 3D integrated devices, since they are composed of elements susceptible to failures under high stress such as thin dies, metal through silicon vias (TSVs), and fine pitch interconnections. In variety of package components, an organic interposer is a key to obtain low cost modules with high density I/Os. However, the large mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between silicon dies and organic laminates causes high stress in an organic package. The major parametric components in 3D devices are dies with /without Cu-TSVs, laminates, bumps, and underfill layers. Especially, the die thicknesses and underfill properties are ones of the parameters that give us some range to control as package design parameters. In general, the underfill material with a high modulus and a low CTE is effective in reducing the stress in solder interconnections between the Si die and the laminate. However, the filler content of underfill materials with such mechanical properties generally results in high viscosity. The use of high viscous materials in between silicon dies in 3D modules can degrade process ability in 3D integration. In this study, we show that the interchip underfills in 3D modules have a wider mechanical property window than in 2D modules even with fine pitch interconnections consisting mostly of intermetallic compounds (IMCs). Also the finite element analysis results show that the optimization of the structural or thermomechanical properties of organic laminates and interchip underfill contributes to reduction of stressing thinned silicon dies which may have some risks to the device performance.

In order to ensure safe and efficient mining and improve the efficiency of drilling construction, intelligent drilling technology has been studied in China. This technology is another development on the basis of automation. In addition to the automatic execution of the construction process, it also has the characteristics of intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making and intelligent correction. This technology requires engineering parameter measuring equipment to obtain the engineering parameters such as torque, WOB, inner and outer annulus pressure, rotation speed, vibration, temperature, etc. near the drill bit at the bottom of the hole in real time, so as to realize the real-time monitoring of the drilling process parameters at the bottom of the hole and the stress state of the drilling tool in the process of directional drilling, and increase the effective extraction distance of the drilling hole.

The bottom hole assembly (BHA) of a modern drill string for directional drilling mainly comprises a drill bit, a rotary steerable system, and a measurement while drilling tool. The tools and subs used on a BHA are screwed together through rotary shouldered threaded connections. Each connection is made up with a pin and a box. These connections are the weakest links when the BHA undergoes a large number of revolutions in a curved well section. When the fatigue life of a connection is consumed during a drilling job, a twist-off would occur, which could result in an enormous amount of non-productive time and possibly loss of the bottom BHA section in the hole. Cold rolling has proven to be able to improve fatigue resistance of a threaded connection by pressing a rolling wheel against the thread root and generating a layer of compressive residual stress at the root. Understanding how cold rolling improves fatigue resistance of a threaded connection is important for optimization of the rolling parameters and prediction of the BHA service life in a given drilling condition. In this paper, a predictive method is presented for fatigue life of a cold rolled threaded connection. A finite element model was developed to simulate the cold rolling process. The resulting deformation and stress states at the root were carried over through makeup of the pin and the box as well as through cyclic bending of the connection. The fatigue life predictions were found to be in favorable agreement with the experimental measurements from full-scale fatigue tests at different bending moment levels applied.

The directional well drilling technology is extensively utilized and developed throughout the world. However, series of drilling problems occurred in the operation process of directional drilling. In order to reduce the friction of drilling tools, an oscillation tool with a fluidic amplifier has been field tested, and the pressure pulse of oscillation tool has been obtained. Field test results have shown that the oscillation tool has an extensive flexibility to directional well drilling, and the oscillation tool could stably actuate the drilling tool to have reciprocating vibration, which contributes to the friction and drag reduction of drilling tools. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the pressure pulse value generated by pumped fluid varies with input flow rate, and the pressure of oscillation tool increases while the flow rate is increasing. In addition, the motion frequency of the oscillation tool is exponentially increasing with the raise of pumped flow rate.

A general, easily implemented technique is developed by which stability maps may be determined for gimbaled, gas-lubricated, spiral-grooved thrust bearings. This technique is based upon the spectral analysis (frequency domain) method in which the neutrally stable states of the stator-gimbal system are determined through solution of the system’s characteristic equations. The method has proven effective for conducting low-cost investigations of the sensitivity of system instability thresholds to changes in various system design parameters. Containing data valid for a wide range of gimbal inertias, stability maps are presented for a range of bearing compressibility numbers, for several bearing geometries, and for several values of mechanical damping in order to illustrate both the power of the technique and also its effectiveness. Limited experimental information which is presently available verified the essential features of the corresponding stability maps. The technique has been reduced to a form usable in the design of gas bearings for use in gas turbine engines.

Horizontal well is one of the important methods of unconventional oil and gas resource development. As increasing length of horizontal section, there is a serious problem that axial force cannot transfer to bit. The drilling field needs a low-friction and low-cost drag reduction tool. This article summarized existing technologies of drag reduction in the horizontal and inclined well and proposes an integrated design of torque clutch. Detailed design of tool sub-systems is introduced. The tool includes three sub-systems: clutch, hydraulic system, and monitoring system. The clutch is consisted of multiple clutch units mounted in a parallel arrangement. Power of hydraulic control system adopts difference in pressure between inside and outside of drill pipes. It can efficiently reduce power consumption. The design function and minimum working pressure are validated and obtained by indoor test. According to theoretical calculation, reasonable distance from tool to bit can be obtained for an actual drilled well. During directional drilling mode, the tool can reduce more than 30% axial drag of drill string according to theoretical calculation. The tool can effectively improve the capacity of transfer weight to bit and overcome the excessive drag in horizontal drilling. No similar tools are reported in the current field.
