Many formations are too tight to produce oil and natural gas, and require a stimulation process to extract the resources. In hydraulic fracturing, fluids carrying proppant are pumped into the ground with enough pressure to crack the rock. The proppant is left behind to hold open the cracks, while the fluid is flowed back allowing oil and gas the ability to flow to surface.

Fracturing pump seal plays critical role in the fracturing and stimulation well service. Optimizing performance under challenging conditions demanded a revolution in pump long-term service life, reducing noise emissions on location, less maintenance. There’re two key parts that support fracturing pump to gain these performances:

● Well service pump packing: JST designs and manufactures well service packing for fracturing pump in a wide range of materials including nitrile, HNBR, aramid fabric/HNBR composite, fluoroelastomer, and filled PTFE. Our pressure rings, header rings and female adapters are designed to retrofit current plunger sizes and designs, or we can customize solution to fit your unique design.

● Valve insert: JST valve insert is also widely used in fracturing pumps, cementing trucks, plunger pumps, mud pumps in oil fields. It is made of modified polyurethane material of excellent extrusion resistance, puncture resistance and fatigue resistance, which guarantees the fracturing work under various working conditions.

Please share your application details, we would recommend the most suitable materials and provide best sealing solutions.
