History
In 1963, E.E. Embury, Inc., was founded in Long Beach, California by Erwin “Ed” Embury. A family-focused company from the start, E.E. Embury, Inc., was originally a manufacturing rep for big businesses in the oil industry, but quickly transitioned into offering custom products to companies of all sizes. Embury’s son, Phil Embury, moved the company’s manufacturing segment to Bakersfield, California, to better serve customers.
Since our start, we have been a proud supplier of high quality rubber products for the oilfield industry. In 2001, our corporate name was changed to Global Elastomeric Products, Inc. Although our name has changed, our commitment to excellent products and quality customer service has remained the same.
There are a few other things that haven’t changed. For example, we’re still a private and family-owned company and still committed to our employees and customers. Many of our employees have remained with us for decades and are committed not only to our quality but to our customers. Our team truly wants to make a difference for large and small businesses in the oilfield industry.

What Are the Most Common Types of Drilling?
Drilling is the first step in modern oil, gas and geological operations. These industries depend on effective drilling to keep operations running, and without it, there is no extraction and processing. Global oil production is over 100 million barrels per day. The key to this rapid production rate? Advanced drilling methods.
Drilling technique influences output and changes based on formation type, target depth and operational goals.
The Importance of Reliable Sealing Solutions in Agriculture
Agriculture machinery and irrigation equipment are critical to the success of most modern farming operations. This industry faces some of the harshest conditions, and operators need to ensure their machinery's inner workings can withstand moisture, dirt, temperature fluctuations and corrosive chemicals.
What Is Agricultural Sealing?
Elastomeric seals, such as packer cups and other rubber sealing products, are critical for preventing leaks, contamination and equipment failure in agricultural operations. These are especially crucial in environments where contaminants could cause vital components to malfunction.
Global Elastomeric Products, Inc. offers a wide range of sealing solutions for the agricultural industry to improve the productivity and safety of your equipment and operations.
Uses for Rubber Molding Products and Agricultural Seals
Rubber molding products are designed to give farmers and other agricultural professionals peace of mind, knowing their equipment is protected and functional. Custom-molded components like packer cups, gaskets, O-rings and multi-spring pusher (MSP) seals provide reliable, real-life solutions to the industry's challenges.
Protection Against Contamination
Rubber molding seals are a first line of defense against environmental contaminants, preventing soil particles, dust and water from infiltrating sensitive internal mechanisms. This maintains the integrity of moving parts and reduces the risk of corrosion to support the long-term functionality of essential farm machinery like tractors and harvesters.
Temperature and Pressure Regulation
Extreme temperature fluctuations and varying pressure conditions are common concerns with agricultural equipment. Rubber seals are designed to withstand these stresses, resisting thermal expansion and contraction. This is especially critical in hydraulic systems where maintaining pressure differentials is necessary for safe and efficient operation.
Leak Prevention
From hydraulics to irrigation systems, agricultural equipment often relies on precise fluid pressure to function properly. Even minor leaks can compromise system performance and lead to costly downtime. Rubber seals provide a leakproof barrier to maintain optimal pressure within lines and components, ensuring uninterrupted performance.
Friction Reduction
Excessive friction can quietly compromise the efficiency and lifespan of components by wearing down parts and increasing the power needed for operations. Rubber molding seals made with low-friction materials help facilitate smoother operation by minimizing resistance between components.
Chemical Exposure Prevention
Rubber molding seals allow for the safe handling of agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides, during storage and application processes. By creating secure, leakproof barriers in pumps and fluid transfer systems, these seals minimize the risk of spills and direct contact with hazardous liquids and vapors.
Custom Sealings Solutions for Agricultural Equipment

Workover Rigs in the Oil and Gas Industry
Workover rigs in the oil and gas industry help restore and optimize well performance, and every component involved needs to function at peak reliability. At Global Elastomeric Products, Inc., we support these operations with engineered rubber solutions built to withstand extreme field conditions.
What Are Workover Operations?
Workover operations refer to maintenance or remedial work performed on an existing oil or gas well to restore or enhance production. Unlike drilling, which is for getting new wells to production, workovers focus on wells already in service that require repairs, cleaning or modifications.
There are different types of workover operations, geared toward different needs:
- Replacing worn-out downhole equipment.
- Cleaning out sand, scale or paraffin deposits.
- Recompleting wells to access new production zones.
- Installing artificial lift systems like pumps or plungers.
- Repairing casing damage or plugging zones.
- Making modifications to help a well produce more oil or gas.
Workover rigs are sent in once workers have stopped the flow of gas or oil. These are smaller than drilling rigs and are specialized for workover tasks.
Workover Rig vs. Drilling Rig: Understanding the Differences
Each rig has unique features and benefits. Drilling rigs, for example, are used to explore or establish new wells while workover rigs repair, service or modify existing wells. Workover rigs tend to be more mobile so they can move between well sites, while larger drilling rigs are semipermanent during drilling. They stay on-site longer while workover rigs are deployed for task-specific jobs.
Where full-scale drilling capabilities are not needed, workover rigs can be a more economical solution. They require smaller crews and come with lower costs. Workover rigs can also boost the productivity of an existing well and extend well life, reducing the costs associated with new well drilling.
Types of Workover Rigs and Operations
There are multiple types of workover rigs:
- Pulling units: For light-duty maintenance, these retrieve and replace downhole tools.
- Snubbing units: These pressure-controlled systems allow intervention in “live” wells without shutting them in.
- Hydraulic workover rigs: These rigs offer precision and control in high-pressure wells, often used offshore.
- Rotary workover rigs: These combine elements of traditional rigs with workover capabilities for deeper wells.
Similarly, types of workover operations vary based on well conditions, equipment wear and production goals. Some common types of workover operations include:
- Production enhancement operations: These work to improve the productivity of a well.
- Repair operations: These address damage and mechanical failures.
