Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Showcase Subsea Capabilities

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions will showcase its subsea capabilities and commitment to the “future of oilfield harvesting” at two UK conferences this month.

The sealing specialist is helping oilfield operators “stay ahead of the game” in the quest to drill deeper, providing high-integrity sealing solutions able to stand up to the extreme operating pressures and temperatures of deep-water locations.



The global developer and manufacturer of sealing and bearing products will showcase its range of innovative products, which are aiding deep sea oil and gas harvesting, at the
upcoming events:

•Deep Offshore Technology International at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, October 14-16, at stand D17

•Element Oilfield Engineering with Polymers at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, London, October 21-23, 2014 at stand 01

David Brown, who heads up the global offshore oil and gas segment for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, said: “Subsea seals are the main source of prevention of hydrocarbon leakage from oilfield completion or production equipment and as such, perform a vital role in meeting environmental and workforce safety concerns, in addition to enhancing performance of the tools themselves.

“We have developed application-specific seal designs to provide high-integrity sealing able to stand up to the extreme operating temperatures and pressures of deep-water locations. Our cutting-edge technology is contributing to the future of oil and gas harvesting and allowing oilfield operators to stay ahead of the game.

“Our attendance at these two UK-based events is a demonstration of Trelleborg’s ‘global reach, local presence’ commitment – the events attract a global audience and attendees will have the opportunity to discuss sealing requirements with Trelleborg engineers from their local territories.”

Products on show at the conferences will include the market-leading sealing materials Isolast® J9513 and J8325. Isolast® J9513 is a specially developed perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) that is fully compliant with NORSOK M-710 and offers high and low temperature capability, from -4° F to +464° F (-20°C to +240°C). Isolast® J8325 perfluoroelastomer provides unrivalled high temperature performance with a continuous maximum operating temperature of +617°F (+325°C).

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions now has 21 best-in-class materials qualified to all elements of the stringent NORSOK M-710 specification. The breadth of range of approved compounds, from elastomers through to PEEK and PTFE-based formulations, means Trelleborg can provide the optimum sealing or bearing solution whatever the oilfield conditions, however demanding.
