Parker's O-Ring & Engineered Seals (OES) Division offers degradable materials for use in oil and gas operations to create high pressures in hydraulically fractured wells. They can minimize well intervention by keeping wells flowing and preventing blockages. These materials can withstand the high pressures and temperatures that are experienced during an application, and then they gradually break down into tiny particles that do not need to be recovered. Due to this natural degradation, degradable elastomer compounds save considerable time and reduce costs.
