Oil and gas

Oil and gas drilling

In oil and gas exploration, even a minor seal failure downhole can disrupt a million dollar operation and result in catastrophic repairs. This is why Fluid Seals recommends you choose Kalrez® Perfluoroelastomer parts for;

  • resistance to swelling, blistering and embrittlement at high pressure
  • resistance to high temperatures and harsh chemicals
  • increase in reliability across all oil and gas applications
  • explosive decompression resistant.

Due to the excellent thermal and chemical resistance of Kalrez® sealing parts this means there is no loss of sealing reliability. Companies such as BP, Shell and Texaco prove this in use. View case studies.
