Abstract
A system including a hanger system configured to support a tubular, including a hanger body with first and second axial sides, and an aperture extending between the first and second axial sides, wherein the hanger body is configured to receive the tubular through the aperture, a first retaining ring configured to couple to the tubular, and a first support ring configured to couple to the first axial side of the hanger body and radially energize the first retaining ring.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- a hanger system configured to mount in a bore of a surrounding tubular and support a tubular, wherein the hanger system comprises:
- a hanger body with first and second axial sides, and an aperture extending between the first and second axial sides, wherein the hanger body is configured to receive the tubular through the aperture;
- a first retaining ring configured to couple to the tubular;
- and
- a first support ring configured to couple to the first axial side of the hanger body, wherein the first support ring is configured to move relative to the hanger body to actuate at least one angled interface to radially energize the first retaining ring about the tubular.

A system, comprising:
- a hanger system configured to mount in a bore of a surrounding tubular and support a tubular, wherein the hanger system comprises:
- a hanger body with first and second axial sides, and an aperture extending between the first and second axial sides, wherein the hanger body is configured to receive the tubular through the aperture;
- a first retaining ring configured to couple to the tubular;
- a first seal configured to couple to the tubular;
- and
- a first support ring configured to couple to the first axial side of the hanger body, wherein the hanger system is configured to actuate at least one angled interface between the hanger body and the first support ring to radially energize the first retaining ring and the first seal about the tubular.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- actuating at least one angled interface between a hanger body and a first support ring of a hanger system to provide a radial actuation force;
- and
- radially energizing a first seal and a first retaining ring of the hanger system about a tubular in response to the radial actuation force, wherein the hanger system is configured to mount in a bore of a surrounding tubular and support the tubular.
