Abstract (en)

A patch for oil-well casing has a metal-to-metal seal formed by a seal ring (20) forced against a casing stub (10) by a tapered face (42) on a seal body (12). The seal ring (20) has internal annular ribs (52) which are plastically deformed when the seal is set. The material of the seal ring (20) is chosen to give suitable strength and ductility for such deformation, a suitable material being a low alloy Cr-Ni-Mo steel with a carbon content about 0.2%.
