Offshore Technology Conference

The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) has been dedicated to cutting-edge technology in offshore drilling, production and environmental protection since 1969. As the world’s leading industry event, participants and exhibiting companies from all over the world meet every year in Houston, Texas. In a special focus area, the topic of energy in the Arctic will be presented in the three-day thread “The Future of Arctic Energy” at this year’s OTC. The focus will be on technological advances, insights, and economic and regulatory solutions from proven experts in this field.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will be presenting its heavyweight hydraulic accumulators at the OTC that include piston, diaphragm and bladder accumulators. Precise manufacturing and the use of high-quality technologies are particularly important in the offshore sector. Thus, hydraulic accumulators must be precisely adapted to the unique customer needs or requirements of the environment to ensure safe operation. Blowout preventers, for example, are the main safety element in drilling deep wells. They prevent uncontrolled leakage of drilling fluid, crude oil and natural gas.

Freudenberg is also providing sealing solutions that meet the unique challenges associated with oil and gas production. And the company’s Simriz® FFKM family is designed to maintain performance in even more demanding, higher-pressure environments. A patented crosslink structure provides outstanding long-term performance in nearly every environment, including temperatures up to 325°C, overheated steam and hot water, as well as harsh chemicals. This makes these materials ideal for use in severe oil and gas applications such as pipeline probes, down hole/SagD and blowout preventers.

The experts from Freudenberg will be happy to visit with you at the NRG Center at booth #3823.
