The sealing element of downhole sealing device (packer) is divided into three independent vertical shells and possesses high compliance. 3.6 times packer deformation force decrease and multifold reduction in stresses, appearing in this case, is achieved at a pressure drop 50 MPa. The rotary sealing device (revolving preventor) is also developed on the basis of multilayer elastic shells to the pressure 21 MPa.
