LORD® Diverter Elements

LORD® diverter elements are elastomeric packing elements that seal against drill pipe or an open hole to handle shallow gas kicks on offshore floating and jackup drilling rigs. With more reliable seals in your diverter, you can minimize nonproductive time. We have two types of diverter designs: Insert-style to seal on specific drill pipe sizes and annular packers capable of complete shutoff (CSO).
