The connector seal comprises particles of a swellable material (12) configured to swell upon exposure to a swelling activator to provide improved sealing integrity at or within the connector (24, 26). In one disclosed embodiment the connector seal (10) is configured for use on a threaded connector (24, 26) between two oilfield tubulars (16, 18). |
