    Abstract: A seal ring assembly for a well drilling tool that takes the place of conventional O-rings that are prone to costly downhole failures. In a first embodiment the seal ring assembly is configured with a convex adapter seal ring at one end, a concave adapter seal ring at the other end, and a number of V-shaped component seal rings packed in between the convex and concave adapter seal rings and positioned in the space between a drill collar mandrel and a pressure cylinder of the well drilling tool. In a second embodiment the seal ring assembly is configured with a number of X-shaped component seal rings, each of which is fitted with two O-rings. The seal ring assemblies are able to flex when operating in a bent drill hole so as to maintain seal integrity and prevent fluids from passing through to the electronics region of the well drilling tool.
