After more than two years of development and testing, the innovative new tool has the potential to boost production and mitigate gas interference for a whole new class of wells

VERNAL, Utah, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TechTAC®, a premier provider of tubing anchor solutions for the oil and gas industry, today announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office has awarded the company a new patent for its Slimline® QuickSet™ Tubing Anchor Catcher (TAC).

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

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TechTAC®, an industry leader in downhole tubing anchor solutions, today highlighted the availability of the Slimline® Casing Patch TAC, a tubing anchor catcher that gives engineers and field personnel more options for anchoring a tubing string within an oil well where the wellbore casing has been patched, is swollen or has a reduced ID due to scale. This custom-made anchor leverages innovative mechanics and the unique design of the Slimline® to navigate an oil well casing patch or similar anomaly while still being able to fully set below the patch or affected area.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TechTAC®, the manufacturer of the original Slimline® Tubing Anchor Catcher (TAC), today announced the availability of the patent-pending Slimline® QuickSet™ TAC, which can enhance the performance and design of downhole production strings. The new product gives engineers and field personnel more flexibility when anchoring tubing strings deep; in the curve of a horizontal well; and in many cases, where the deviation survey indicates high dog-leg severity (DLS) or cork-screwed wellbore geometry. This flexibility is made possible by the reduction in string torque rotations required to fully set the Slimline® QuickSet™ TAC.
