Polymer seals used in the Oil and Gas industry
Polymer seals used in the Oil and Gas industry face some of the most hazardous conditions imaginable.
A global industry covering the stages of exploration, extraction, refining and transportation. TRP’s high-performance seals for the oil and gas sector provide the ultimate in reliability.
There is no easy oil these days. Deep seas, challenging climates and terrains require advanced techniques to extract accessible oil and gas reserves. Extreme high pressure and temperatures are a common problem for ensuring the safety and performance of the wellhead and downhole equipment.
Offering a range of Norsok M-710 certified elastomer materials to produce technical moulded rubber components, TRP design and manufacture Norsok-approved seals for these safety-critical applications.
Pipeline, shipping, and tanker facilities of extracted raw crude oil and natural gas are necessary for movement towards processing. Critical infrastructure requires high-performance sealing for long-term installation, often deployed in remote or inaccessible locations.
Some existing infrastructure is currently being repurposed for Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS). TRP’s oil-resistant rubber seal materials are universally transferable to this new purpose.
TRP design and manufacture performance-critical sealing components for pipe-in-pipe waterstop seals, dry-break coupling seals, and manway hatch seals for road, rail, and maritime transportation vessels.
Processing natural gas and refining of crude oil through to the extensive range of downstream stages flow down to the petrochemical industry. 95% of all manufactured goods today contain these base materials.
TRP support plant engineers to design and select the correct technical rubber material for aggressive chemical and thermal processing.
TRPlast® FFKM perfluoroelastomer is widely specified as the ultimate performance sealing material for pump, valve, and mechanical Norsok FFKM O-rings.
TRP offer a comprehensive portfolio of rubber materials for oil-resistant rubber seals. These are designed to provide the best combination of chemical and temperature performance whilst retaining their physical properties to ensure sealing integrity.
For businesses requiring Norsok-approved seals, our Norsok M-710 certified FFKM, FKM, HNBR, and AFLAS provide the ultimate in sealing performance for the oil and gas industry.
Operating from a world-class manufacturing facility in Hereford, UK, TRP employ the tightest process controls at each stage of the production process. This achieves the highest levels of quality for delivery of our seals for the oil and gas sector.
