Reference for High Pressure Seal Design - Wellhead Pressures

Reference for High Pressure Seal Design - Wellhead Pressures

(OP)
Does anyone have a recommendation for a high pressure seal design reference?

The applications I have are all subsea wellhead type pressure levels between 10,000 and 15,000 PSI. I don't need any material that addresses refinery type technology.
I have all the API specifications, but I need some information on piston ring type seals for a dynamic case with these pressures. I have a couple of references on "recip" compressors but they do not delve into the more in-depth technical aspects of these high pressure seal designs. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hello!

Maybe is late, but here's my reply :(

We've got applications on which we applied a dynamic PTFE compounded seal at 20,000 PSI

As always, it needs to make a good study. Depending on fluid media, temperature and speed.

Please, let's have more details, if possible
