Abstract
It is well known that the drilling industry is a diverse industry with huge power needs for drilling deep wells. This paper discusses the drilling industry in general and the future need for HT power electronics to enable such activities as tractor drive drilling of deep horizontal wells. The discussion is geared at applications for drilling within the earth at ambient temperatures of 150°C and above.
