Simplification and Efficiency Improvement
The extreme conditions of oil and gas application environments call for rethinking of existing strategies that include:
- Utilizing dissolvable materials that enable quicker, safer, predictable well completion
- Simplifying complex processes by making installation easier – particularly when equipment is deployed subsea – thereby maximizing productivity and decreasing downtime.
That's where Parker's Oil & Gas experts excel!
On-Shore | Hydraulic Fracturing
Dissolvable metal alloys formulated for controlled degradation
The hydraulic fracturing industry requires constant innovation to keep pace with today’s HTHP well environments. Parker offers a full suite of high-strength dissolvable metal alloys specifically formulated for controlled degradation in fresh, salt, acid, or produced water applications.
Custom Machined-to-Print Dissolvable Products
Dissolvable Alloy Billets
Dissolvable Solutions Eliminate Drill Out
Parker's frac plugs are compact, dissolvable solutions that provide zonal isolation in extended reach horizontal wellbores. Dissolvable solutions lessen safety risks and save completion operators significant time and costs which are associated with drill-out and mill out of traditional composite mill out plugs.
Dissolvable Frac Balls
Parker offers a full suite of high-strength dissolvable metal alloys formulated for controlled dissolution in fresh, salt, acid, or produced water applications. Our dissolvable aluminum-based alloys can be used in applications where pressures exceeding 10,000 psi on a 1.8% overlap are required.

Off-Shore | Subsea
Multiport Bonded Solutions
Subsea Manifold Sealing
When you consider the downtime costs involved in replacing elastomeric seals that were poorly aligned, mis-installed, or even overlooked during assembly of a mult-port manifold on subsea equipment, the value of simplification and ease of installing a single plate multi-port bonded solution becomes quite obvious.
Subsea Oil & Gas Manifold Sealing Solutions
We provide customized multi-port, bonded solutions for using qualified elastomers which are easy to install and maintain.
Feature Benefits
- Custom-engineered seals for multi-port subsea manifold systems to meet unique specifications
- Can accommodate sizes ranges to 70" diameter
- Can accommodate multiple elastomer materials
- Materials compliant to industry specifications
Simplification = Efficiency
By bonding and overmolding elastomeric seals to multi-port manifolds, subsea manifold assembly manufacturers can improve their bottom line with composite solutions that:
- Simplify installation
- Eliminate costs associated with machining tight tolerance o-ring grooves
- Consolidate part numbers and reduce inventory and procurement costs
Chevron Sealing System
Parker Chevrons seal bubble tight at high pressures in oil well completion environments exposed to hazardous media such as H2S. Utilizing metal and polymer redundancy, they will seal to 400°F, or without they will seal to 1200° F.
Redundant polymer/metal chevron assemblies act as both static and dynamic seals, accommodating rotational and translational motion which makes it a superior solution where :
- Elastomers offer high-pressure sealing but are not able to perform at high temperatures and cannot be guaranteed to survive all of today's aggressive chemistries.
- Metal C-seals and V-seals can handle the temperature and chemistry, but are not redundant and do not create the bubble tight seal as well as the chevrons do.
Oil Well Completion
Chevron seals are high-end, redundant seals for extreme environments that will seal high pressure gas to bubble tight requirements. Typical applications involve
- High temperature | High pressure (>10 ksi)
- Corrosive media (e.g. nitrogen gas, steam)
- Inaccessible locations
Chevron Seal Benefits
- Custom-designed to meet application specifications,
- Size ranges from 1/2-inch to 20-inch diameter
- Pressure to 30,000 psi and temperatures to 1200 °F
- Good for bi-directional pressure
- Tolerate greater axial misalignment of bore and shaft when compared to conventional metal seals
- NACE Compliant
