O-Rings and Seals for Oil and Gas Applications

The Oil & Gas Industry comprises three distinct stages – Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. Each stage involves specific applications that necessitate different grades of o-rings and sealing products. Understanding these needs, Global O-Ring and Seal is your trusted source for comprehensive sealing solutions, offering products with a wide range of compounds suitable for every aspect of the Oil & Gas Industry.

Upstream encompasses drilling and extraction of crude oil and natural gas. Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) o-rings are particularly useful here, providing resistance against extrusion when rapidly releasing pressure. Midstream covers transporting and storing crude oil and natural gas before processing. Seal integrity is critical in this stage to prevent leaks and maintain pressure. Downstream involves refining and creating finished products such as automotive and jet fuels. High-quality, durable seals are required to withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemicals in this process.
