DESCRIPTION
The Hydraulic Tubing Anchor is a hydraulically-activated retrievable anchor designed to hold the tubing string in tension
or compression. The anchor catcher 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 D&L 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 special 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 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.

SETTING PROCEDURES
A tubing plug (ball seat, pump-out plug, etc.) must be run below the anchor so pressure can be applied to the tubing. The
initial setting pressure is controlled by shear screws in the setting piston. The shear screws are rated to 650 PSI per screw
and the pressure to initiate setting will be determined by the quantity of shear screws.
Once on bottom, pressure tubing to the recommended setting pressure of 1,800 PSI to fully set anchor.

RELEASING PROCEDURES
A straight pull shears the releasing shear screws and the anchor can be retrieved. The anchor must be re-dressed before it
can be reset.
