The shear ram assembly for shearing an oil well tubular T includes a first ram axially moveable along the first axis for moving an upper blade , and an opposing second ram axially moveable along the second ram axis for moving a lower blade . An upper planar surface of the lower blade passes closely adjacent a lower planar surface of the upper blade as the blades move towards each other to shear the tubular. The sealing system is positioned within a recess in the upper surface of the lower blade, and includes an elastomeric seal for sealing engagement with the lower planar surface of the upper blade and a rigid actuator moveable relative to the lower blade to energize the elastomeric seal.
