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.

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.
