BULLNOSE
The bullnose stinger does not utilize any latching mechanism, but
it must overcome seal drag to install or remove it from the packer.
Because of piston effect from tubing-to-casing pressure differential,
ample tubing weight must be applied to prevent the stinger from being
pumped out of the packer during injection or production procedures.
HSP-1 series stingers are available for a variety of service applications,
including high H2S and CO2 exposure. These stingers can also be
