Land and lock monitoring system for hanger

A monitoring system, comprising:

• a transmitter coupled to a running tool that is configured to place an insert into a housing, wherein the transmitter is configured to emit acoustic waves;
• a receiver configured to couple to the housing, wherein the receiver is configured to output sensor signals indicative of a received portion of the acoustic waves;
• and
• one or more processors configured to transform the sensor signals from a time domain into a frequency domain to generate a transformed signal, compare a magnitude of the transformed signal to a threshold, and determine that the insert is in the landed position in the housing in response to the magnitude of the transformed signal exceeding the threshold.

A method of operating a monitoring system, the method comprising:

• lowering an insert into a housing via a running tool;
• emitting acoustic waves via a transmitter coupled to the running tool;
• detecting portions of the acoustic waves via a receiver coupled to the housing;
• receiving, from the receiver and at one or more processors, sensor signals indicative of the portions of the acoustic waves;
• transforming, using the one or more processors, the sensor signals from a time domain into a frequency domain to generate a transformed signal;
• comparing, using the one or more processors, a magnitude of the transformed signal to a threshold;
• and
• determining, using the one or more processors, that the insert is in the landed position in the housing in response to the magnitude of the transformed signal exceeding the threshold.
