The first end portion is configured to couple to a conductor pipe. The landing ring includes a landing ring shoulder extending radially inward from an inner surface of the opening. The slip hanger is configured to engage with casing The slip hanger includes at least one slip segment configured to engage with an outer diameter of the casing and an outer slip ring.

Abstract: A casing rotation system permits rotation of a casing string through a telescoping ring that selectively engages a casing hanger. When the telescoping ring is in a first axial position, it engages the casing hanger such that rotational force is transmitted from a running tool to the casing string. When the telescoping ring moves to a second axial position, it disengages the casing hanger such that rotational force is no longer transmitted to the casing string. The casing rotation system may include an inward-biased locking ring disposed about the casing hanger and optionally a bearing surface that reduces friction on the hangar.

Abstract: A method for completing a well includes extending coiled tubing into the well through a wellhead assembly, the coiled tubing having a lower end within the well and an upper end outside of the well. A tool is releasably attached to a central portion of the coiled tubing between the lower and upper ends. The tool has a tool body has an inner diameter surface sized to circumscribe the coiled tubing. A gripping feature is located on the inner diameter surface for limiting relative axial movement between the tool and the coiled tubing when the inner diameter of the tool circumscribes the coiled tubing. A tool feature extends from the tool body and is shaped to engage a well member. The tool is lowered into the well with the coiled tubing and the tool feature engages the well member. The tool is removed from the well with the coiled tubing.

An adjustment ring assembly is located between the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member and has an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring circumscribes, and is rotatable relative to, the inner ring to adjust the radial offset between a central axis of the wellhead assembly and a central axis of the inner tubular member.

Abstract: A valve assembly includes a valve body with a flow passage intersected by a valve cavity. A valve member is axially movable in the valve cavity between a closed position and an open position, the valve member having an opening that registers with the flow passage when the valve member is in the open position. A valve stem is threadingly connected to the valve member, the valve stem rotatable to move the valve member between the closed position and the open position. A collar assembly is located within a slot of the valve member and circumscribes the valve stem, the collar assembly having an annular collar shoulder. The valve stem has an annular load shoulder sized to engage the collar shoulder, limiting axial movement of the valve member.
