Claims18
A tubing hanger, comprising:
- a cylindrical body having a bore defined therethrough;
- and
- a plurality of ports formed on the cylindrical body, wherein at least one of the plurality of ports comprises a shaped recessed configuration relative to the cylindrical body;
- wherein the shaped recessed configuration is such that it has:
- an irregular four edged flat bottom with the port located within, wherein the bottom has three straight edges and an arc for the fourth;
- three flat sides each being quadrilateral-shaped, each normal to the bottom and connected along the three straight edges;
- and
- two open sides;
- wherein two of the flat sides are parallel to each other and are normal and adjacent to the third flat side;
- and
- a connection member integrally formed with the cylindrical body, the connection member including external threads for mating with a rotating flange of a production tree.
