S20ME: Mechanical Engineering General - Stonehouse - 3 to 13 months Flexible duration

For 6 or 12+ month placement: 2nd year students or higher

For 3 month Summer placement: 3rd year students or higher

Scope and Subject of the Opening

You will be part of a team who are responsible for a particular product throughout its development cycle including concept, feasibility, development, testing, commercialization and sustaining.

You will apply Mechanical Engineering skills to assist in providing innovative, reliable and cost-effective solutions for our customers requiring the development of new or improved drilling products. You will have the challenge of designing a variety of mechanical

components and/or mechatronic systems that will operate in the challenging environment of oil wells at temperatures up to 200 degC and pressures of 30,000 psi. and shocks (500 G’s) - up to 30,000 ft from the rig, communicating with the surface through various methods. Within a multi-disciplinary team, you will collaborate with other experts (electrical engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists, designers, etc.) to design the system. You will also perform technical planning for system integration, test and validation, authoring of functional specifications, and contribute to the development of new principles and concepts.

S20ER: Solenoid design and testing - Stonehouse - 6 to 13 months Flexible duration

Scope and Subject of the Opening

There are many different variables that need to be considered when designing a solenoid – materials that are magnetic and have a low structural strength prone to corrosion.

Solenoid system operate in harsh conditions that involve the tough downhole environment and has variety of moving parts. This is important as the moving parts should not be affected by downhole shock and vibrations. This is achieved by the spring preload. The main trade-off of this arrangement is a mass/dimensions of moving components vs required specification of the solenoid. Additionally, system may have parts that require production testing. This test system shall be designed and optimized to suit the requirements of the operation environment.

Your project will look to refine the design of an existing system within the constraints that we have to improve the performance of the system. Also, you may require to design the test set-up for the system to ensure its performance, We would also like to look at opportunities for scaling the design to a different size.

Responsibilities

You will be working alongside Senior Mechanical and Electrical Engineers learning the variety of the subjects, for example: part design, magnetics, FEA modeling, material and coating selection, limits and fits etc. There will also be the opportunity to get involved with making and testing the design. Your responsibilities will be clearly defined however not limited to the scope of the internship (you can choose to be involved in other parts of the project or in general activities of the centre).

Competencies

  • Mechanical or electro-mechanical background
  • Willingness to learn
  • Hands-on approach
  • Good communication and documenting skills.

Exposure to any of the following would be a plus:

  • Creo, ANSYS, and Simulink

Qualifications

Studying towards a Bachelors or Masters in Mechanical Engineering or Integrated Electrical and Mechanical Engineering or related field.

C20JS: Mechanical Packaging of Electronics - Cambridge - 12 months duration

Scope and Subject of the Opening

You will be part of a research team that is working on the subject of drilling tool design, where we investigate novel ideas for new drilling tools, as well as improvements for existing tools.

Working alongside a member of the research team, you will focus on the mechanical packaging of electronic boards. Knowledge in electronic circuit design will not be required as we look at the board merely as a mechanical element with its own dynamic properties (response to vibrations) and we will focus on improving the way these boards are attached inside the drilling tools. This will require creative thinking, as well as designing and conducting experiments (e.g. dynamic structural response of the electrics board) using accelerometers, strain gauges and data acquisition systems. Some hands-on practical experience in “building things”, as well as some basic knowledge in signal processing would be desirable in order to analyse the results (e.g. Fourier analysis using Matlab or similar). We will also look at the manufacturing aspects of any new concepts to ensure the technology can be transferred to the field organization for immediate business impact.

Responsibilities

  • Review current PWA retention methods in SLB (optional)
  • Run thermal expansion simulations using appropriate FEA package
  • Design injection moulds with different shapes
  • Experiment with injection moulding of potting compounds and develop a workable technique to achieve desired geometry.
  • Run experiments to determine the dynamic and thermal performance of different potting geometries.
  • Write a final report to document the results, as well as a final oral presentation

Competencies

  • Good level of understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, such as solid mechanics, dynamics, and material properties.
  • Hands-on practical skills in order to build and run experimental setups.
  • Ideally also some exposure to an FEA package as well as solid modeling package.
  • Curiosity for new things and a willingness to learn.

Qualifications

Studying towards a Bachelors or Masters in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

We start from developing an understanding of the measurement physics through building and exploring simple model systems, before developing a series of increasingly robust prototypes aimed at the final application. There will be opportunities to use and learn various areas of physics, mechanical design, electronics and software.

Responsibilities

You will be integrated into the team and interact regularly with the team members. There will be an opportunity to learn and practice new techniques.
