Abstract: There is described a method and an improved apparatus for rotatably suspending a tubing string in a well bore, the apparatus comprising a tubular coupler connected to the uphole end of the tubing string, a tubing hanger disposed annularly about the coupler in fixed axial relationship, the coupler being rotatable relative to the hanger, a hanger bowl for supporting the hanger therein so that the tubing string connected to the coupler can be suspended in the well bore and a drive system operably connected to the coupler and extending through the hanger bowl which can be actuated to rotate the coupler and hence the tubing string attached thereto.

Abstract: Described is a clutch for providing a rotatable connection between the downhole end of a tubing string and a tubing anchor comprising first and second tubular subs and a connector device between the tubular subs, the connector device initially preventing relative rotation between the tubular subs and thereafter permitting relative rotation.
