Grant Description: To date, less than 1 percent of all wells drilled in the U.S. have penetrated below 15,000 feet, yet their production accounts for nearly 7 percent of the domestic production, and is expected to grow to 12% by 2010 (NPC, 2003). Development of deep reservoirs is currently restricted to only the most promising prospects. The primary barrier limiting recovery from deep formations is that drilling systems cannot withstand the extreme conditions encountered when drilling deep, resulting in an exponential increase in drilling costs (as much as 50% of drilling cost is encountered in the last 10% of the well). The limits of conventional drilling and well construction technology are often exceeded when drilling wells to 20,000 feet. Extremely high temperatures (>400oF), exceptionally high pressures (>15,000 psi), exceedingly hard rock, and highly corrosive gases all combine to create a very hostile environment for well drilling and completion. DOEs Deep Trek program (http://www.fossil.energy.gov/programs/oilgas/drilling/index.html) was initiated in 2001 with a goal of developing an integrated deep drilling and deep imaging system that will enable industry to economically recover an additional 100 Tcf of natural gas through 2020. Several projects and technologies have been funded over the past five years, but additional needs remain to be addressed. The objective of this subtopic is to develop novel sensor systems that include but are not limited to the determination of pressure, position, temperature and flow. These sensors shall fit under DOEs Deep Trek Program, which focuses on developing advanced technologies that will operate in very deep (>20,000 feet) high temperature (>400 F), high pressure (>15,000 psi), hard rock, corrosive environments. The proposed technologies shall be compatible with, and compliment, currently applied or emerging technologies developed under DOEs drilling programs or other industry programs to allow for integrated demonstrations.
