Oil & Gas Refining
Oil & Gas Applications
Oil and gas facilities demand elastomers that can tolerate high pressure, temperature extremes, sour gas exposure, and abrasive media. Our materials provide reliable sealing performance in upstream drilling, production, gas processing, and refining operations.
We design seals and gaskets that reduce maintenance, prevent leaks, and support safety-critical equipment in onshore, offshore, and subsea environments.
Key Requirements:
- High pressure/high temperature (HPHT) capability
- Resistance to sour gas (H2S) and aggressive hydrocarbons
- Compression and extrusion resistance in dynamic sealing
- Fire resistance and low compression set
- Certification to API, NORSOK, ISO, and NACE standards
- Longevity in abrasive, sand-laden media

Specific Applications
Upstream Exploration
Seals for drilling equipment, rotating heads, and completion tools designed for HPHT and sour gas conditions.
Midstream Transport
Pipeline gaskets, valve seals, and compressor components that prevent leaks and withstand fluctuating pressures.
Downstream Refining
High-temperature seals for pumps, reactors, and furnace components handling aggressive hydrocarbons and process chemicals.
Offshore & Subsea Systems
Elastomers engineered for saltwater corrosion, hydrostatic pressure, and long-term reliability in subsea production.
