PC-1 Tubing Anchor Catcher

The tough and reliable PC-1 Tubing Anchor Catcher is a retrievable, double grip anchor catch-
er which anchors the tubing string in tension or compression in wells of any depth. Using the
PC-1 Anchor Catcher prevents movement of the tubing string during pumping operations and
greatly increases pump efficiency while minimizing wear on tubing and rod strings. The PC-1
will also prevent the tubing or rods from falling should the tubing part.
The PC-1 Tubing Anchor Catcher is set/released rotationally and available in left hand or right
hand set models dependent on application. There is also a secondary emergency safety shear
using alloy shear screws that are easily field adjustable in 2225 daN (5000 lb) increments.
Carbide slips are available for all sizes of the PC-1 for use when the casing is damaged, scaly or
grade of 80 or higher. Unlike many similar anchor catcher designs Pinnacle’s PC-1 Tubing
Anchor Catcher is built standard in materials that meet NACE MR-01-75 specifications for H2S
service.

Operation
Space out the PC-1 Tubing Anchor Catcher just above or below the pump seating nipple for
best results and run tubing to desired depth. Rotate the tubing to the left (left hand set model) to
set the PC-1. The number of turns to set the anchor catcher varies depending on size and weight
of casing it is being set in. Hold left hand torque into tubing and conduct a compression test to
ensure the slips are holding. Set down 4,000 to 7,000 daN (9,000 to 15,700 lbs) multiple times
each time picking back up to neutral. Pick up to confirm desired amount of tension is in tubing
string and tubing space out is correct. Put tubing string in tension using conventional methods.
To retrieve the PC-1 Tubing Anchor Catcher rotate the tubing string to the right (left hand set
model) while in neutral. If the PC-1 does not release with normal procedures pull the required
pre-set tension above string weight releasing the anchor using the emergency secondary shear
release system.

HC-1 Hydraulic Set Tubing Anchor

The Pinnacle HC-1 Hydraulic Set Tubing Anchor is designed to anchor the tubing string in
tension or compression in wells of any depth. The retrievable, double grip design prevents move-
ment of the tubing string during pumping operations and greatly increases pump efficiency while
minimizing wear on the tubing and rod strings. The HC-1 will also prevent the tubing or rod
string from falling if either should part. The HC-1 Hydraulic Set Tubing Anchor is pull shear
released and uses alloy shear screws adjustable in 2225 daN (5,000 lb) increments.

Operation
Attach tubing anchor to tubing and run to desired depth. Space out tubing using conventional
methods in compression, tension or neutral. If a temporary plugging device is not already in the
tubing string one must be installed before setting. Apply tubing pressure against temporary plug-
ging device installed below anchor to set tubing anchor.
A straight pull on the tubing string above the pre-determined tubing anchor shear out force will
release the anchor for retrieval.

Features
• Rugged design.
• Shear pinned to prevent premature setting.
• Straight pull to release.
• Adjustable shear to release.
• Sets in tension or compression.
• Double grip design prevents upward or downward movement.

Dual String Anchor

The Dual String Anchor provides an effective and economical method of anchoring the short
string in a dual string completion allowing for it to be pulled into tension. The short tubing string
is anchored to the primary or long tubing string which in turn is anchored to a packer. The Dual
String Anchor supports the short string in the case of a part preventing it from falling further into
the wellbore and onto the packer.
The Dual String Anchor is composed of an anchor body and latch sub. The long string is
attached to the anchor body. The short string is attached to the anchor body using the latch sub
which releases with applied right hand torque and tension. The Dual String Anchor meets NACE
MR-01-75 specifications for H2S.

Operation
Install the Dual String Anchor Body onto the long tubing string at the required point so that
when the long string is landed the anchor body is at the required landing depth for the short tub-
ing string. Once the packer has been set and the primary tubing string landed, the latch sub is
attached to the bottom of the short string and run in. The sub will automatically locate and latch
into the Dual String Anchor.
Release the latch sub with 1/3 of a turn to the right at the anchor and then apply tension to the
short tubing string. Anchor Body is retrieved with the primary or long tubing string.

Features
• Cost effective and reliable.
• Allows short tubing string to be pulled into tension.
• Prevents short tubing string from falling should it part.
• Short tubing string in tension increases pump efficiency and minimizes rod and tubing wear.
• Latch sub automatically latches into anchor body and releases with 1/3 of a turn to the right.
• Meets NACE MR-01-75 specifications for H2S environments.

Clutch Type Tubing Swivel

The Pinnacle Clutch Type Tubing Swivel is used above a Pinnacle PC-1 Tubing Anchor
Catcher, when free rotation of the tubing string is needed once the tubing anchor has been set.
Most commonly used in installations where tubing rotators are used and the tubing above the tub-
ing anchor must be able to rotate freely.
Operation
The Clutch Type Tubing Swivel must be installed on the tubing string above the tubing anchor.
Run equipment to desired depth. After the tubing anchor is set apply 1,000 daN (2,000 lb) tension
at the swivel. The tubing string may now be rotated freely while in tension without affecting any
tools below.
Releasing tubing tension automatically re-engages the clutch in the tubing swivel so torque can
be transmitted to tools below the swivel.

Features
• Simple design.
• Reliable.
• Allows tubing to rotate freely.

Tubing Drain
The Tubing Drain provides a means of draining or circulating through tubing when pulling out
of the hole where the tubing is unable to drain or be circulated normally. To open the drain ports
pressure is applied to the tubing which will shear the shear pins in the shifting sleeve and open
the Tubing Drain Sub. The amount of pressure required to open the drain ports is easily field
adjustable.
NOTE: Once the drain ports have been opened they will remain open until serviced on surface.

Features
• Simple reliable design.
• Field adjustable shear value.
• Available in a wide variety of material and thread combinations.

Reverse Tubing Drain

The Pinnacle Reverse Tubing Drain is an annular pressure activated equalization sub. When
opened the Reverse Tubing Drain allows communication between the casing annulus and tubing.
The Reverse Tubing Drain is unaffected by tubing movement, tubing pressure or flow rate.
The annulus pressure required to open the Reverse Tubing Drain is easily field adjustable by
the removal or addition of shear screws.

Operation
The Reverse Tubing Drain is usually positioned in the tubing string above a packer. When
communication is required between the casing annulus and tubing, the required casing annulus
pressure is applied shearing the shear screws, shifting the sleeve and opening the drain.

Features
• Provides communication between casing annulus and tubing.
• Simple, reliable design.
• Easily field adjustable shear.
• Activated by differential pressure.
• Unaffected by tubing pressure, tubing movement or flow rate.
