Hydro-X Tubing Anchor
The Hydro-X Tubing Anchor is a hydraulically-activated retrievable anchor designed to hold the tubing string in tension or compression. The Hydro-X 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 Hydro-X 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 Hydro-X Tubing Anchor utilizes specia 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 Hydro-X 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 Hydro-X Tubing Anchor includes design improvements over the Hydraulic Tubing Anchor for more reliable setting and releasing.
