Running tool and control line systems and methods

A control line assembly for coupling with a tubing or casing hanger of a wellhead assembly, comprising:

• a support ring configured to couple with the tubing or casing hanger, wherein the support ring is configured to be disposed at least partially between the tubing or casing hanger and a wellhead component of the wellhead assembly;
• and
• a tubular member configured to extend through a first bore disposed in the support ring, wherein the tubular member is configured to extend between the tubing or casing hanger and the wellhead component, a first end of the tubular member is configured to be stabbed into a passage disposed in the wellhead component, and a second end of the tubular member is configured to be stabbed into a first receptacle disposed in the tubing or casing hanger;
• wherein, when the control line assembly is coupled with the tubing or casing hanger and the wellhead component is landed over the tubing or casing hanger, a passage disposed in the tubular member is configured to provide communication between the passage of the wellhead component and the first receptacle of the tubing or casing hanger and the control line assembly further comprising:
• a plurality of the support rings, wherein each support ring is configured to be received in one of a plurality of first receptacles of the tubing or casing hanger;
• and
• a plurality of first seal assemblies configured to be received in the plurality of first receptacles of the tubing or casing hanger;
• wherein, the support rings are configured to apply a compressive force to the first seal assemblies in response to the application of torque to the support rings.

A method for installing a tubing or casing hanger in a wellhead assembly, comprising:

• coupling a control line assembly to the tubing or casing hanger, wherein the control line assembly comprises a support ring and a tubular member having a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is received in a first receptacle of the tubing or casing hanger, the tubular member extends through a first bore disposed in the support ring, and the support ring couples to the tubing or casing hanger to support the tubular member;
• landing the tubing or casing hanger in a housing of the wellhead assembly;
• landing a wellhead component over a first end of the tubing or casing hanger;
• and
• stabbing the first end of the tubular member into a passage disposed in the wellhead component, wherein the tubular member extends between the tubing or casing hanger and the wellhead component, and the support ring is disposed at least partially between the tubing or casing hanger and the wellhead component.

A system, comprising:

• a control line assembly, comprising:
• one or more support rings comprising a plurality of first bores;
• a guide ring comprising a plurality of second bores;
• and
• a plurality of tubular members extending through the plurality of first bores and the plurality of second bores, wherein the one or more support rings, the guide ring, and the plurality of tubular members are disposed between a hanger and a wellhead component of a wellhead assembly, wherein the plurality of tubular members extend into a plurality of receptacles in the hanger and extend into a plurality of passages in the wellhead component;
• wherein the plurality of first bores is disposed in a single support ring of the one or more support rings and a plurality of threaded fasteners extending through a plurality of third bores in the single support ring are configured to couple the single support ring to the hanger.
