ABSTRACT:
A tubing anchor assembly for seating and supporting coiled tubing in a tubing head, which includes as a first element, a slip assembly characterized by multiple slip segments inserted in the slip bowl of the tubing head and each provided with a bevelled top face and a vertically oriented dove tail slot. As a second element, slip retainer screws are radially threaded in the tubing head body at spaced intervals, each of the slip retainer screws provided with a frustro conical tip having a bevelled tip base, and each 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 tips of the slip retainer screws are in engagement with the dove tail slots and when the slip retainer screws are threadably retracted in the tubing head body. A retainer ring located in a groove provided in each of the slip segments serves to maintain the slip segments in a desired alignment as a slip assembly 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 center of the slip bowl. The slip segments are secured in functional position in the slip bowl after release by engagement of the frustro conical tips with the bevelled top faces of the slip segments.
