SEALING, FILTRATION AND COUPLING SOLUTIONS FOR UPSTREAM OPERATIONS
Upstream solutions
operations through innovative solutions with reliability and sustainability at the core.
OVERVIEW
Powering tomorrow’s upstream innovations today
The extraction of crude oil and natural gas requires solutions
that stand up to extreme temperatures, high pressures,
corrosion and erosion.
John Crane upstream sealing, filtration and coupling innovations help producers
satisfy current demand, while our pioneering New Energy Solutions contribute to enhanced efficiency and lower emissions at a time when sustainability has never been more critical.
Every step of the way, our service teams aim to respond with urgency - whether
our solutions are operating at onshore or offshore sites.

More about our approach to upstream solutions
Meeting upstream challenges with enhanced
reliability
From remote onshore rigs to the FPSOs that revolutionised deep-water drilling, John Crane’s sealing solutions have performed reliably in some of the world’s most challenging upstream environments. We understand the delicate balance required to optimise production output, OPEX and CAPEX, and we apply this deep domain expertise to our engineered solutions.
John Crane is proud to help customers enhance the lifespans of critical assets through reliable mechanical seals, seal support systems, couplings and filtration solutions. Our offering also includes seal face technologies that improve seal performance and extend lifecycles using advanced micromachined patterns.
John Crane Diamond® seal face technology
By equipping mechanical seals with John Crane Diamond seal face technology, upstream operators can extend seal lifespans and reduce equipment breakdowns amid harsh operating conditions.
Learn more about this revolutionary technology, which leverages nature’s hardest substance to help increase reliability, mean time between repair (MTBR) and efficiency.

Upstream pumping seal face technology
John Crane’s Upstream Pumping (USP) seal face technology represents a breakthrough in liquid sealing innovation.
In addition to helping extend MTBR from three to five years, it generates zero emissions and can unlock significant energy savings.
This technology is suitable for harsh upstream environments as well as other segments of the oil and gas value chain.
