The installation of a tubing anchor is a common and beneficial addition to every rod lifted well. Maintaining pull tension on the tubing string greatly reduces tubing movement caused by cyclical loading created during normal rod lift operation. The reduction of tubing movement enables the pump to consistently make a full stroke and maximize the efficiency of the entire rod lift system.
Having been around for decades and commonly known as a Baker style, the Type B tubing anchor may be placed anywhere within the tubing string and set to anchor to the casing wall. However, the most common placement is below the sucker rod pump, typically with a tubing sub between the two in order to allow space for a gas anchor on the bottom end of the pump.
