Tubing anchor assembly

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5700326
A tubing anchor assembly for seating and supporting coiled tubing in a tubing head, which includes as a first element, multiple slip segments inserted in the slip bowl of the tubing head and each provided with a vertically oriented dove tail slot, and as a second element, slip retainer screws radially threaded in the tubing head body at spaced intervals, each of the slip retainer screws provided with a frustro conical tip extending into the slip bowl of the tubing head and engaging a dove tail slot in one of the slip segments. The slip segments are maintained in open configuration inside the upper portion of the slip bowl when the slip retainer screws are in engagement with the dove tail slots and are threadably retracted in the tubing head body with the frustro conical tips adjacent the side of the slip bowl. A retainer ring located in a groove provided in each of the slip segments serves to maintain the slip segments in a desired alignment inside the slip bowl and the slip segments are permitted to drop in concert by the influence of gravity from the frustro conical tips of the slip retainer screws as the slip retainer screws are caused to threadably travel toward the tubing into the slip bowl.
