Detecting landing of a tubular hanger

Abstract

An example system includes: a wellhead having a wellhead load shoulder to support, within a wellbore, a tubular hanger connected to a tubular string, where the tubular hanger has a tubular hanger contact shoulder; and one or more sensors to generate one or more signals that are based on at least one of a proximity of the tubular hanger contact shoulder to the wellhead load shoulder or a contact between the tubular hanger contact shoulder and the wellhead load shoulder.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
