Summary: The research covered dynamic seals of borehole bottom equipment under conditions of high pressures and temperatures as well as hydrocarbone and aggressive gases activity. The basis of research is to form an idea of a single laboratory for all required studies and testings of dynamic seals materials. The target of research is the analysis, selection and adoption of production of chosen materials. A singular device for testing said seals was built in Croatia and co-operation with potential manufacturers (Rubber Factory "M. Čavić", Zagreb) and consummers (INA-Naftaplin, Zagreb) factually established.

Keywords: petroleum engineering, materials, elastomers, dynamic seals, gases, completion fluids

Research goals: The target was to determine materials proving satisfactory for wear-and-tear (tribotechnical) systems defined beforehand. As seals made of various materials are commercially produced and recommended (KALREZ, VYTON, RYTON, TEFLON) and are further systematically researched and developed, it is necessary for the purpose of adopting and developing the production technology of such seals to determine the materials purported to meet the requirements as set up and in the same way to adopt the metodology to quantify the values of materials as selected. In order to make such valuation comparable with world-wide research it is necessary to perform them in terms of globally acepted criteria. The investigations to date have ascertained the producers' potential in Croatia and a lab setup for testing and estimating of seals manufactured along prescriptions based on the laboratory research.
