Project

This project propose to investigate and develop a microsensor system to apply in oil industry.
To begin to extract oil is necessary, first of all, monotorize some important parameters: pressure, temperature, H2S, radiations.
On the other hand, sensors to apply in this domain need to have special characteristics to work in deep places (corrosive environment, big pressure and temperature, mechanic stress and big vibrations).
Another question is the way how the sensors transmit the signal to the surface. To assure efficiency and basically, to prevent accidents and evironment contamination is necessary to monotorize in real time.
Actually in the market is no sensor to monotorize these parameters in real time and near the installations.
Is a multidiscipline investigation with participation of oil extraction, microelectronic and new materials experts. One of the main objectives is to improve industry competence in environment protection (engage in a new sustainable relationship with the environment while improving competitiveness and strenghtening European Industry)
Next step is to make compatible technology HiTech with traditional technology to increase activity efficience, to prevent accidents against environment and to preserve natural resources (conservation and sustainable management of natural resources: waste management and prevention, soil protection and environmental technologies for observation, prevention, mitigation of the natural environment related to soil).

Objectives

* Develop presure and temperature microsensors based in piezoelectric substrat or new materials(langasit).
* Develop hidrocarbons and H2S microsensors based in SiC substrat.
* Develop a microsensor to detect radioactive contamination based in silicium substrat or based in optic fibre.
* Develop new technics of signal transmission to the surface, at a distance of 3 - 10 km, based in optoelectronic technologies.
* Develop resistant materials to vibration, temperature, corrosive medium, and materials to contain microsensors system.

Technologic transfer

* Create a technologic net – from the beginning - with one objective: integrate patners efforts to obtain this microsystem (partners are complementary and is needed to cooperate between them to accomplish our principal main).
* Create a information net - because of oil industry implication in project - which is a not familiar domain for microelectronic and new materials specialists.
* Do a proposal of PPP which will permit a technologic transfer of obtained results.
* Join to European Technologic Platform - MANUFUTURE - and try to join to Safety for Sustainable European Industry Growth Platform.
* Prepare a proposal in the same domain for FP7 in 2007.
