The ASI-X Anchor is a mechanically set double grip tubing anchor designed to be exceptionally durable and debris tolerant. This anchor is based on the proven ASI-X Packer design, but has been shortened, simplified and does not have a sealing element. This anchor is suited for treating, testing, injecting, pumping wells, and flowing wells, deep or shallow. This anchor is built using durable ASI-X Packer parts making redress both quick and economical.

The double slip design allows the anchor to be left in tension or compression, depending on well conditions and the required application. The J-slot design allows easy setting and releasing; 1/4 turn right-hand set, right-hand release. With the variety of J-body configurations available, this anchor can also be set with other packers in tandem. This anchor is also equipped with an adjustable straight pickup emergency shear release and when released in this manner, the anchor will reset when moved down the hole.

The DL-CS Anchor is used to anchor downhole equipment from rotating and/or moving up the hole. The anchor is designed to resist up to 12,000 Ft-lbs of torque with a unique cone and slip design while preventing movement up or down hole. It can be set in casing or open hole.

The Drag Block Tubing Anchor/Catcher (DB Anchor) is a retrievable positive-action tubing anchor designed to hold the tubing string in tension or compression. It has drag blocks to allow the anchor to be run deeper than conventional drag spring anchors. The anchor prevents movement of the tubing during pumping strokes; and holds it stationary if it should part. The use of a tension tubing anchor increases pump efficiency, reduces rod and tubing wear, and keeps tubing and rods from falling into the well in case of a part.

The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor is a hydraulically-activated retrievable anchor designed to hold the tubing string in tension or compression.  The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor catcher prevents movement of the tubing during pumping strokes and holds it stationary if it should part.  The use of a tubing anchor increase pump efficiency, reduces rod and tubing wear, and keeps tubing and rods from falling into the well in case of a part.

The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor is operated by applying pressure to the tubing.  This pressure shears screws that hold the anchor unset.  A setting piston drives the slips set while locking the setting force in place.  The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor utilizes specially designed slips – heat-treated steel alloy double-acting slips for maximum holding power in tension or compression.  Slips are fully enclosed for extra breakage resistance and will be retained if slips break.  The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor is retrieved by shearing screws with tension.  Shear pins are added in 5,000 lb increments to achieve the desired shear value necessary to release.

The Quarter Turn Reduced OD Tubing Anchor is a mechanically set, retrievable, tubing anchor designed to allow increased fluid bypass in the annulus.  The anchor is suited for treating, testing, injecting, pumping wells, and flowing wells, deep or shallow.  The slip design allows the anchor to be left in tension or compression, depending on well conditions and the required application.  The J-slot design allows easy setting and releasing with 1/4 turn right-hand set, right-hand release.

The TM Anchor/Catcher is a retrievable positive action anchor tool to hold tubing strings in tension or compression during pump strokes to prevent tubing buckling. This increases pumping efficiency while reducing rod and tubing wear. This tool also catches the tubing should it part. Stainless steel drag springs employ low stress value to minimize failure under corrosive conditions. If the TM Anchor/Catcher cannot be released with right-hand rotation, it is equipped with a shear release activated by an upward pull.

The Trilobite Quarter Turn Anchor is a mechanically set retrievable tubing anchor / catcher featuring D&L’s patent pending slip / cone design.  The Trilobite Quarter Turn Anchor utilizes heat-treated steel alloy double-acting slips for maximum holding power in tension or compression.  The fully enclosed slips allow for maximum bypass area around the outside of the anchor while maintaining a full open ID through the tubing.  This versatile design can be used to route multiple capillary lines or monitoring cables past the anchor and to provide a gas/debris bypass area around the three slips.

The Trilobite Hydro Anchor is a hydraulically-set, retrievable, tubing anchor / catcher featuring D&L’s patent pending slip / cone design.  The Trilobite Hydro Anchor utilizes heat-treated steel alloy double-acting slips for maximum holding power in tension or compression.  The fully enclosed slips allow for maximum bypass area around the outside of the anchor while maintaining a full open ID through the tubing.  This versatile design can be used to route multiple capillary lines or monitoring cables past the anchor and to provide a gas/debris bypass area around the three slips.
