An abrupt drop in pressure within the annular space around a TAC can lead to significant challenges like gas locking in rod pumps and the formation of scale<\/em><\/p>\n

SALT LAKE CITY , Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study from the independent consulting firm Imaginationeering finds that the net pressure drop around a standard Baker B2-style tubing anchor, as fluid\/gas passes through the annular cavity around the anchor, is more than double the pressure drop around TechTAC\u2019s Slimline\u00ae Tubing Anchor Catcher (TAC). A significant pressure drop, like that around the standard anchor, is the primary issue causing gas locking in rod pumps and a major contributor in the formation of scale, iron sulfide, and paraffin.<\/p>\n

The CFD study was commissioned by TechTAC\u00ae and provides \u201ca comparison CFD analysis of a gas flow within the annular space around two types of a 5.5-inch tubing anchor catcher to assess the differences between them in terms of flow parameters.\u201d The two TACs used in the comparison were a standard tubing anchor catcher and the Slimline\u00ae TAC.<\/p>\n

According to the study: \u201c\u2026the pressure drop along the standard TAC is more than double that drop along the Slimline TAC. This is expected because the annular cavity with the Slimline TAC\u2019s case is wider than that for the standard TAC\u2019s case.\u201d The Slimline\u00ae anchor also demonstrated a noticeable advantage over the standard TAC in reducing the overall turbulence and vorticity strengths within the flow field.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandard tubing anchors can restrict annular flow in a well casing, which may lead to issues that can greatly reduce production,\u201d said Bruce Friesen, president of Friesen Oil and Gas Consulting and former global artificial lift advisor with BP. \u201cHowever, as this new CFD study demonstrates, the geometry of the Slimline\u00ae TAC provides a noticeable advantage over the design of the standard TAC by providing more consistent fluid velocity and vorticity, and minimizing pressure drops and turbulent flow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith those factors in mind, it\u2019s likely that the installation of a Slimline\u00ae TAC versus a standard TAC can \u2013 over time \u2013 reduce workover costs, increase production rates, and provide for optimized completion designs,\u201d Friesen said.<\/p>\n
