Midstream Oil & Gas

Midstream Oil & Gas seals for applications including the transportation and storage of natural gas and crude oil.

Where upstream involves the initial exploration and production of oil and gas, and downstream relates to the refining and purification process, the midstream sector covers the storage and transportation required to link upstream and downstream together. Midstream oil and gas seals are crucial in making midstream processes as efficient and safe as possible.

There are many different service providers involved in the midstream sector, ranging from pipeline transport companies through to haulage, tankers and railways. There are also trans-loading and logistics operations to consider – all of which require protection against the potential hazards of raw or semi-processed produced fluids and gases. Precision Polymer Engineering has developed a range of elastomer sealing materials to safeguard the people involved and minimize product losses.

For midstream oil and gas operations involving remote pipelines, long service life and reliability are critically important. Our chemically-resistant seals won’t let you down, and with short manufacturing lead-times for replacement seals you will be well supported for any scheduled or unscheduled MRO requirements.

Midstream sealing solutions

 

Elastomer seals designed and manufactured to withstand the demanding requirements of midstream pipeline and storage applications.

High performance elastomer materials

Our custom-engineered sealing solutions are developed using high performance materials such as FKMs and FFKMs (from our EnDura®, Perlast ICE® and Perlast® ranges), making them ideally suited to aggressive environments. Along with excellent thermal and mechanical properties, our seals are proven against the corrosive effects of sour gas (H2S), ensuring reliable long term sealing for any downstream oil and gas application.

The ultimate perfluoroelastomers for sealing applications where chemical resistance and high temperature performance are critical.

Exceptional perfluoroelastomers for extreme low temperature sealing applications.

The ultimate range of elastomers for sealing applications in the world’s most aggressive high pressure environments.

Products

Below is a selection of the most common sealing products supplied to Midstream applications. Visit the Products page to see the full range.

Elastomer O-Rings

Fully molded elastomer O-rings for critical sealing applications. Standard and custom sizes available.

X-Rings Quad Rings

X-rings offer an alternative sealing solution to O-rings for a wide range of reciprocating or rotary applications.

T-Seals

T-seals – with T-shaped cross section and two backup rings – offer an excellent sealing solution for static or dynamic applications.

Spring Seals

For applications where large clearance gaps or bi-directional pressures are a factor, consider the effectiveness and strength of a PPE spring seal.

FS Seals

FS seals are a double acting static seal designed for use as casing and tubing hanger seals in wellheads.

Lip Seals

Energized lip seals comprise of a high modulus elastomer jacket and a low modulus elastomer O‑ring energizer.

Chevron Stacks

Chevron stack sets are multi-lip packings which are especially suited to mechanically-challenging conditions.

Production Packers

Production packers are a downhole sealing device which is used to isolate the annulus from the production conduit, enabling controlled production, injection or treatment.

ESP bags

An electric submersible pump (ESP) is used in oil wells to pump fluids to the surface. Discover more about ESP bags here.
