CUSTOM DESIGNED SEALINGSYSTEMS & POLYMER SOLUTIONS
SubseaSince the recent fall of oil prices, O&G majors have developed newstrategies to lower break-even costs and reduce cycle times of theirdeepwater projects. A key contributor was a systematic effort tostandardize subsea trees and components. Meanwhile, there is a shift
towards more extreme pressure/temperature operating conditions
pushed by production from more complex reservoirs.
To meet and exceed customer demand for high-performance sealing
solutions, we drew from the best of R&D investments as well as our broad
experience addressing extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
We provide our customers with pre-validated and field-proven sealing
solutions delivering reliable fluid control for the most critical applications.

KEY APPLICATIONS
Subsea ball, gate, choke valves
API 17D subsea wellhead andChristmas tree equipment

Multiphase flowmeters
API 6DSS subsea pipeline valves
Hydraulic couplings

Floating Equipment
In fluctuating market conditions, Floating Production, Storage andOffloading (FPSO) vessels demonstrate inherent advantages comparedto other floating production system types: operating flexibility, range ofwater depth, conversion possibilities, and storage capacity range. Withother offshore facilities, FPSO technical characteristics are still impacted
by fluid viscosity, pressures and temperatures that could lead to more
complexity and technical challenges for the topside equipment.
To meet with harsher reservoir conditions, HPHT FPSO turret swivel stacks
systems are being developed to cope with the above operating condition
challenges that push the limits of existing sealing solutions.
Consequently, we have developed a cost-effective, flexible and highlyscalable technique to manufacture large diameter sealing systems,
incorporating anti-extrusion rings in Meldin® 5000 series (proprietary
PEEK based materials) without any limitations in diameters.

KEY APPLICATIONS
Production and utility swivels

CALM buoys

Proven in the Past…
In the 1970s, Omniseal Solutions™ 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, which
had already proven themselves extensively in the aerospace industry, addressed critical issues including aggressive media,
sour gas environment, resistance to rapid gas decompression and extreme operating conditions.
This additional experience inspired the Omniseal Solutions™ to design a series of innovative sealing solutions thatconsistently and reliably met the ever-increasing requirements of high-performance equipment manufacturers.

… Prepared for the Future

USED FOR THE MOST DIFFICULTOPERATING CONDITIONSCryogenic
Driven by industry standards, strict regulations and end user demands,
manufacturers of cryogenic valves and transfer equipment are faced withthe daunting responsibility of finding sealing solutions that cope with lowleakage challenge requirements while lowering operating costs.
We have developed a new generation of bespoke Omniseal® springenergized seat seals for cryogenic trunnion mounted ball valves (TMBV)
compliant with the most stringent industry standards such as SHELL MESC
SPE 77-300. These are ideal solutions for the LNG value chain: export andimport terminals, carriers, bunkering and small scale logistics.

KEY APPLICATIONSCryogenic valves

Cryogenic hoses
Cryogenic pumps

Cryogenic rotary swivels for
LNG, LPG, LEG

Cryogenic breakaway couplings,ERS, QCDC

Surface
For leading oil and gas surface systems equipment manufacturers, weare very much the expert of choice for field-proven sealing solutions innumerous surface applications in conventional and unconventional areas.
Our innovative solutions comply with industry standards such as as PR2
test procedure as per API 6A annex F and the most stringent fugitiveemission specifications. Designed to minimize cost, enhance lifetime andensure safety, we help you reach sustainable performance excellence.

KEY APPLICATIONS
API 6D pipeline valves

API 6A valves for wellhead and Christmas
tree equipment

Downhole tools

Fugitive Emission Valves
Major energy companies have made big investments in natural gas inrecent years, steadily growing their production volumes. Methane, themain component in natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas that has drawn
negative attention due to fugitive emissions leaking into the atmosphere.
In response, O&G majors recently signed a set of guiding principles,
committing to drive down methane emissions to ensure that natural gascontinues to play a critical role in helping meet future energy needs.
Our response to the critical need for low fugitive emissions from valves wasto develop a range of high-performance stem sealing systems for ON/OFFand CONTROL valves that pass leakage tightness of Class A according to
the ISO 15848-1 standard from -50°C to +200°C.

KEY BENEFITS
No need for secondary seal
Simplified hardware design
Lower operating torques /forces, long life

Self-energized solution,
does not need to be compressed axially
Easier installation compared tocompression packings
