ANCHOR PUMP

- ANCHOR PUMP ADVANTAGES

 Allow a pump to be run in a well not equipped

with a seating nipple.
 Can use where tubing has hole and detect the
hole depth.
 It is also used in wells where fluid levels keep
changing frequently and make it necessary to
set the pump higher or lower in the hole for
more efficient production.
 Run in nature, gas lift and ESP completions.
 T h e t o o l c a n b e r u n a n d s e t r e p e a t e d l y, w i t h o u t
causing damage to the packing element, even
when the pump is set in deviated or directional
holes.
 Permits the operator to select the best pump
setting depth after the well is completed and
tubing has been run.
 Eliminates pulling tubing for tubing leaks or
replace faulty shoe and setting nipple.
 DETECTING TUBING LEAK DEPTH BY
ANCHOR PUMP
 RIH with anchor pump
 Set the pump at any depth and Perform TBG test against the
pump.
 In case of hold, add sucker rods and go down by the pump
until TBG test is leak.
 In case of leak, retrieve sucker rods and go up by the pump
until TBG test is hold.
 Set the pump above leakage point and start production.

 PUMP SETTING MECHANISM

 The anchor is set by lifting up on the rods, rotating

the rod to the right till build up of torque, and then
set down.

 Once set, the tool is securely held in the tubing

against movement either way; there is no danger of
unseating the pump during operation.

 The anchor is released simply by lifting up on the

rod string.

 The slips moving up then it compress the split-cone

which force the rubber element and provides tubing
pump seal.
 FUTURE PLAN

 Can recover ESP and/or Gas lift

wells to production with specific
rate up to 450 BFPD or more till rig
commence the work-over
operation.

 Can have mobile surface unit on

trailer mounted skid to be
mobilized to any location that need
temporary production.

 Reduce the rig dependability to put

the well back on production up to
70% from sucker rod pumping
system mechanisms.
