Infographic: Comparing 5.5″ Tubing Anchor Catchers

TechTAC delivers premier tubing anchor solutions in a variety of shapes and sizes. Our 7.0″ and 5.5″ tubing anchor catchers are the most common. Among the 5.5″ models, the introduction of the Slimline Full Bore TAC adds a compelling new option for engineers seeking the combined benefits of a reduced-OD anchor with a full bore ID.

But how exactly does the 5.5″ Slimline Full Bore TAC compare to similar products? To answer that question, we’ve created the infographic below. This downloadable image summarizes and compares the specifications among three 5.5″ tubing anchor catchers: the Slimline Full Bore TAC, the original Slimline TAC, and a standard B2 anchor.

Engineers who have deployed TechTAC 5.5″ tubing anchor catchers have realized significant benefits. One E&P company ran the 5.5″ Slimline Full Bore TAC in three mature wells with high gas-oil ratios (GORs). After several months of operation, the production superintendent noted that each of the three wells realized:

  • 25-to-30% boosts in the volume of gas being discharged on the surface.
  • 15-to-25% increases in pump fillage.
  • Daily production volumes doubling from 40 barrels per day to 80 bpd.

What’s more, that experience isn’t unique. Many other E&P companies have reported significant boosts to daily production and gas discharge just by switching from standard B2 anchors to the Slimline TAC.
