This patent describes an apparatus for use on the lower end portion of a string of tubing located in the casing of a production well for chemical treatment of fluid pumped from the well through the tubing, comprising a tubing anchor having: a tubular mandrel with upper and lower connectors adapted for connection within the tubing string, a tubular anchor cage concentrically spaced around the mandrel and connected to one of the connectors, slips angularly spaced from each other around the mandrel within the cage and being movable radially outward thereof to embed in the casing, and first and second spaced setting heads connected to the mandrel between the connectors with the slips being disposed between the setting heads and including axially spaced wedging surfaces. A method is described for installation of well apparatus for chemical treatment of produced fluids comprises the steps of lowering a tubing anchor to a selected position in a well with a collection chamber for a pump at the lower end of the well tubing extending into the well fluid to be produced, and connecting a chemical injection line to the side of the well tubing with an outlet of the injection line disposed within the collection chamber.
