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. It prevents movement of the tubing during pumping strokes and holds it stationary if it should part. The use of a 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 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. Special heat-treated, steel alloy, double-acting slips are utilized for maximum holding power in tension or compression. Slips are fully enclosed for extra breakage resistance, and will be retained if they break. The 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.
