Pressure

Shear

Setting

sleeve drives bottom slips (D) up against cone (E) (F) and upper slips energised then slips break and bite into casing

Anchor Latch

Anchors the completion tubing to the packer Creates a static seal between the tubing and the packer Allows the packer to be run with the completion (one run) Can be rotated out of the packer Can be re-installed with a straight push into the packer
