Abstract
A tubing hanger and system for landing a tubing hanger in a tubing head of a wellhead with full well containment. The tubing hanger includes a cylindrical housing with a production port and a penetrator port, each extending through the cylindrical housing and each offset from a center axis of the cylindrical housing. The tubing hanger can land production tubing within a tubing head of a well head with a ratio of outer diameters of the production tubing to the tubing hanger of about 0.50.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A tubing hanger comprising:
a penetrator-feed-through port comprising a penetrator passageway extending between a penetrator top end and a penetrator bottom end and defining a penetrator axis therethrough that is parallel to and offset from a longitudinal axis extending between a center point of a top surface and a bottom surface of the tubing hanger; and a production port comprising a production passageway extending between a production top end defined in a raised neck member extending from the top surface of the tubing hanger and a production bottom end, the production port defining a production axis therethrough that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis, the production passageway comprising a bottom connection at the production bottom end that is configured to couple with an end of a production tubing to be landed in a tubing head of a well head, the production passageway comprising a top connection at the production top end that is different than the bottom connection and that is configured to couple with an end of a landing tool.
2 . The tubing hanger of claim 1 , wherein the production tubing comprises an outer diameter of greater than 3.25 inches and less than 3.75 inches and the tubing hanger comprises a cylindrical housing having an outer diameter that is 7 inches or less, wherein the top connection comprises a top threaded connection and the bottom connection comprises a bottom threaded connection.
3 . The tubing hanger of claim 2 , wherein the bottom threaded connection is a tapered threaded connection that progressively narrows as it extends from the production bottom end towards the production top end.
4 . The tubing hanger of claim 3 , wherein the bottom threaded connection is an external-upset-end thread configuration.
5 . The tubing hanger of claim 3 , wherein the top threaded connection is a non-tapered threaded connection.
6 . The tubing hanger of claim 5 , wherein the top threaded connection is a trapezoidal thread configuration.
7 . The tubing hanger of claim 6 , wherein the trapezoidal thread configuration is an ACME thread configuration.
8 . The tubing hanger of claim 2 , wherein the penetrator-feed-through port is configured to support a penetrator comprising an outer diameter of greater than 1.75 inches and less than 2.5 inches.
9 . The tubing hanger of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of outer diameters of the production tubing to the tubing hanger is about 0.50.
10 . The tubing hanger of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of outer diameters of the raised neck member to the tubing hanger is within a range of about 0.5 to about 0.6.
11 . The tubing hanger of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of outer diameters of the raised neck member to the tubing hanger is within a range of about 0.5 to about 0.55.
12 . A system of well completion comprising,
a tubing hanger comprising:
a penetrator-feed-through port comprising a penetrator passageway extending between a penetrator top end and a penetrator bottom end; and
a production port comprising a production passageway extending between a production top end defined in a raised neck member extending from a top surface of the tubing hanger and a production bottom end, the production passageway comprising a bottom connection at the production bottom end that is configured to couple with an end of a production tubing to be landed in a tubing head of a well head, the production passageway comprising a top connection at the production top end that is different than the bottom connection and that is configured to couple with an end of a landing tool;
a penetrator configured to be positioned within the penetrator-feed-through port and comprising electrical leads for connecting with a surface power supply and a plurality of downhole cable for connecting with a downhole cable or an electric submersible pump; and a landing tool configured to couple with and land the tubing hanger in the tubing head of the well head and comprising a tubular body and the end comprising engaging features that are configured to engage with engaging features on the top connection.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the production tubing comprises an outer diameter of greater than 3.25 inches and less than 3.75 inches and the tubing hanger comprises an outer diameter that 7 inches or less, wherein the engaging features of the top connection and the end of the landing tool comprise non-tapered threading.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the non-tapered threading comprises a trapezoidal thread configuration.
15 . The tubing hanger of claim 13 , wherein the penetrator-feed-through port is configured to support a penetrator comprising an outer diameter of greater than 1.75 inches and less than 2.5 inches.
16 . The tubing hanger of claim 12 , wherein a ratio of outer diameters of the production tubing to the tubing hanger is about 0.50.
17 . A method of well completion comprising:
landing a tubing hanger in a tubing head of a wellhead with a landing tool, the tubing hanger comprising:
a penetrator-feed-through port comprising a penetrator passageway extending between a penetrator top end and a penetrator bottom end; and
a production port comprising a production passageway extending between a production top end defined in a raised neck member extending from a top surface of the tubing hanger and a production bottom end, the production passageway comprising a bottom connection at the production bottom end that is configured to couple with an end of a production tubing to be landed in a tubing head of a well head, the production passageway comprising a top connection at the production top end that is different than the bottom connection and that is configured to couple with an end of the landing tool.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the production tubing comprises an outer diameter of greater than 3.25 inches and less than 3.75 inches and the tubing hanger comprises an outer diameter that 7 inches or less, wherein the top connection and the end of the landing tool comprise non-tapered threading.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the non-tapered threading comprises a trapezoidal thread configuration.
20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein a ratio of outer diameters of the production tubing to the tubing hanger is about 0.50.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
