Does anyone have any experience with high temperature o'rings, or if there is such a thing? Looking at a ring that can withstand the API fire testing for a high pressure valve. Any suggestions?

Viton or silicone

I am looking at 15k pressure rating. Also, I am pretty sure viton only reaches 400f. The fire test will see over 1100F.

Are they static?

Look at metal o-rings (SS and high temp alloy steel tubing.  They can handle the temperature to 1,800F).

Try and search.  There are several I know of.   You can also design your own metal-to-metal seal.   

Try Garlock HelicoFlex.

You can use silicone, SBR, EPDM etc.
