Energy: Oil & Gas

Starting in the 1970s due to rising demands in upstream oil & gas applications in the North Sea, our sealing and material solutions proved valuable in solving harsh chemical and extreme temperature/pressure challenges. We are still being used today in a wide range of energy mix applications.

Thanks to our unique material science and strong application engineering know-how, we provide our customers with reliable customized solutions such as polymer spring-energized seals, addressing the ever-increasing needs of various critical and extreme applications where failure is not an option.

Over five decades, we have constantly brought innovative solutions to cope with the relentless push in operating conditions such as deepwater, HPHT, GHG emissions control, harsh chemicals, and cryogenics.

With a strong heritage and spirit of innovation in the energy sector, we are also able to support the transition towards alternative and sustainable energy sources such as hydrogen and gas turbine technology that are taking place and accelerating into the future. You can read more about the efforts on carbon-free energy sources here.
