The Tubing Hanger is a critical wellhead component that supports the tubing string and provides a reliable pressure barrier between the tubing and casing.
🔹 Main Functions:
- Supports the weight of the production tubing
- Seals the annulus between tubing and casing
- Provides a pressure-tight connection to the wellhead
- Allows production tubing to be properly positioned and secured
- Provides access for control and monitoring of the annulus
🔹 Key Components & Features:
The tubing hanger may include tubing seals, lockdown mechanisms, production outlets, and penetrations for control lines or electrical cables depending on the well design.
🔹 Why is it important?
A properly installed tubing hanger is essential for well integrity, pressure containment, safe production, and reliable wellhead operation.
In simple terms:
Tubing Hanger = Support + Seal + Pressure Containment
A small component with a major role in keeping the well safe and controlled.
