ENERGY SOLUTIONS

High Pressure, High Temperature, NORSOK and API Certified Polymer Oil & Gas Seals and Materials

Saint-Gobain Seals' engineered sealing systems and polymer components are widely used in numerous applications in the energy sector from onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration and production to emerging renewable energies.  Our precise fit solutions can be continually used from cryogenic to 316°C (600°F), 50,000 psi and 10 to 30+ years life; and meet several important international industry standards/specifications such as NORSOK, API and ISO. 

In the 1970s, Saint-Gobain Seals introduced OmniSeal® spring-energized seals to the oil and gas market in order to solve reliability and durability problems caused by the severe limitations of elastomeric seals. These spring-energized seals had already proven their value in the aerospace industry and inspired us to design a series of sealing solutions that handle the ever-increasing requirements of high-performance equipment manufacturers.  Our Meldin® tolerance control product line is valuable due to its high pressure and high temperature properties.  Our Meldin® 5000 material has been selected for packing kit backup rings for a down hole drilling application where the critical parts are used in a hydraulic drilling jar that helps free and move the drill pipe component

As a result of our close partnerships and collaborations with top industry leaders, we are known for providing solutions for demanding applications which arise from more complex reservoirs, sub-salt, heavy oil and HPHT challenges. Investments in research and development have positively resulted in the next generation of materials and many “firsts” such as the world’s first subsea compression station.
