Upstream Oil & Gas
Upstream oil and gas seals are designed to face the harsh operating conditions of exploration and production applications.
The upstream sector of the oil and gas industry – also known as exploration and production (E&P) – is concerned with the searching out of new sources of underground or underwater oil and gas fields. Following initial surveying and prospecting for new fields, a wide range of equipment is required in the drilling and construction of wells and the extraction produced fluids. Seals are critically important to the functionality of this equipment and operations.
Precision Polymer Engineering develops high performance upstream oil and gas seals to protect your upstream equipment from unscheduled downtime. Our innovative materials improve seal performance and reliability, with service life expectancy in excess of 25 years – even in the temperature and pressure extremes associated with upstream operations.
Elastomers for High Pressure Applications
Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) resistant elastomer seals designed to reach the depths of the ocean.
Materials for upstream oil and gas seals
Our custom-engineered seals meet any application or hardware demands, protecting against rapid gas decompression (RGD), sour gas (H2S) and the aggressive chemicals associated with oilfield media. This includes chemicals used to aid extraction of produced fluids through extension processes.
Our high performance elastomer materials have been specially developed to deliver superior sealing solutions to the upstream sector. Many of Precision Polymer Engineering’s elastomer material grades have been tested to international standards such as NORSOK, TOTAL, NACE, ISO 10423, API 6A/6D and ISO 23936-2.
