The present invention relates to an improved seal assembly for sealing between the interior sealing surface of a well housing and the exterior sealing surface of a hanger landed within the well housing and includes a seal body having a pair of outer lips diverging outwardly for. sealing against the housing interior sealing surface and an interior series of annular ridges which have a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the hanger exterior sealing surface, an upper energizer and a lower energizer for coacting with said lips to move the lips into sealing position and to store the energy of setting to ensure sealing engagement of the lips. In same forms of the invention the energy is stored by virtue of the lips being of a relatively low yield strength material as compared to the energizers which have a higher yield strength. Also, structure is provided in some of the forms of the invention to store both radial and axial lip loading forces.
