The Business Benefits of the TechTAC® Slimline®
These fields summarize some of the benefits TechTAC® customers have realized by switching from standard B2 anchors to the Slimline®. The pre-populated percentages are used in the ROI calculations below and represent a conservative estimate of the resulting benefits.
The Slimline® can reduce the number of stuck anchors by as much as 87%. The anchor's reduced OD and tapered design prevents sediment from bridging on top of the TAC.
The Slimline® can eliminate up to 80% of all instances of gas locking. The anchor's reduced OD creates up to 245% more flow-by area, so formation gas doesn't get trapped below the TAC.
The Slimline® can reduce anchor cutover time by as much as 50% because only the slips and slip protectors need to be cut
