Abstract: An improved liner hanger is provided suitable for use with conventional slips to interconnect a downhole casing with a smaller-diameter liner. The hanger comprises an outer cone sleeve and an inner locking sleeve, with the cone sleeve interconnected with the conventional slips, and the locking sleeve having right-hand and left-hand inner biting threads for engagement with the outer surface of a tubular liner section. Improved mating threads are provided on the outer surface of the locking sleeve and the inner surface of the cone sleeve. The cone sleeve and locking sleeve are initially made up at the surface with the apexes of the tapered thread profiles substantially in axial alignment.
