• Electronics circuitry in down‐hole tools to collect sensors data, drive actuators, multiplexing, data storage
• Present in both:– Wireline tools– Logging While Drilling (LWD/ MWD) tools
• Geothermal gradient ~ 25 to 30 oC/km in earth’s crust– Wells are getting deeper sink temperature keeps rising– Formation temperature is about 100 to 120oC at ~ 4 km– IC packages rarely designed to withstand > 150 oC
• Narrow temperature band of operation Thermal management of Electronics is critical
• Focus on ANSYS ICEPAK in this study

• CAD‐to‐Icepak conversion in ANSYS Design Modeler (DM)
1. Import native CAD using ANSYS CAD interface
2. Use any DM tools to modify geometry as required
3. DM ELECTRONICS (DME): Main menu/ Tools/ Electronics convert into Icepak objects
Modeling: Geometry ‐ I

DM Electronics/ SIMPLIFY tool1.Geometry that already fits Icepak shape Transfers readily
2.Orthogonal/ cylindrical/ polygon shapes Use Simplify options
3. Complex shapes• Complex shapes (B‐splines, partial cylinders, etc) Transfer as Icepak CAD shape
• Combine DME tools with other DM tools like Slice, Fill, Extrude, Concept for efficient conversion

• Model full tool string in well – Big picture– Capture overall heat flow from tool surface to well fluid– Well fluid circulation patterns ‐ well (domain) sizing– Consider all possible well conditions External to tool
Well fluid properties, non‐Newtonian, etcDifferent formation temperature conditionsTool orientation – gravity directionDo we have to model natural convection and radiation within the tool

• 4 Different cases considered:i. Top and Bottom – Open; gravity: m/s2ii. Bottom at fixed 100oC, Top open; m/s2iii. Same as ii, but m/s2iv. Bottom at fixed 100oC, Top adiabatic wall
• Well fluid is the cylindrical CFD domain– Material: Liquid water– Height: 20’ in Cases i, ii, iii, 36’ in Case iv
• Boundary Conditions– Fixed Temp: 100 oC on Curved side of domain

• Solved as laminar flow• Should we expect well fluid to circulate or move upwards only
– Reasonable to expect annular circulation– Low velocity vectors at bottom
• Case i – unidirectional upward flowdoes not seem realistic
• Case iii – Very different flow field as expected

• Temperatures compared for IGBTs and PCB• Temperatures in cases i, ii are similar• Case iii turns out to be cooler for the present tool
• Thus case ii may be considered as the worst case scenario• Problems with case ii:
– Top opening too close to tool – may numerically influence flow field– Complete recirculation is not visible
• Capturing complete recirculation field may require well model to extend more above the tool –work around in Case iv
Results: System Level Thermal – Cases i, ii, iii

– To ~ 3” from electronic housing at the bottom• Use plane contours to export profiles of P, UX, UY, UZ, T
