Engineering Pathways for High-Temperature, High-Pressure Seals in Oil Drilling and Production Equipment
Oil and gas drilling and production operations involve some of the most extreme environments encountered in industrial engineering. Drill strings, blowout preventers (BOPs), subsea Christmas trees, and high-pressure valves routinely operate under temperatures exceeding 150°C and pressures surpassing 100 MPa. In these conditions, sealing systems are not mere components—they are critical safety and reliability elements […]
