Annular BOP Packing Elements
What is an Annular Packing Element?
An Annular Packing Element is a round elastomeric piece of technology that closes mechanically by means of a Blowout Preventer and operator closing pressure to seal off an annulus. Next, the Annular Packing Element technology allows to close on open hole, drill pipe, drill collar, casing, and or tubing. Ultimately, the Annular Packing Element is critical to control wellbore fluids during drilling operations.
What makes our Packing Element Different?
Our OEM GBOP Annular Packing Element has been tested rigorously and proven to meet and exceed API requirements. This line of Packing Elements is manufactured with a proprietary compound of NBR and metallic inserts that are extremely effective during high pressure and high temperature operations. In conclusion, our packing elements are specifically engineered for long lasting performance, and have been put to the test through API 16A 4th Ed. design validation requirements meeting PR1.
