Abstract: A tubing hanger for supporting a tubing string from a wellhead includes a unified mandrel having an upper mandrel coupled to an axially aligned lower mandrel by multiple separate connections. The upper mandrel includes an external shoulder, and a lower mandrel includes a threaded segment configured to couple to the tubing string. The first connection is configured to restrain axial movement between the upper and lower mandrel and to transfer toque between the upper mandrel and the lower mandrel in at least a first rotational direction. The second connection is configured to transfer toque between them in at least a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, to prevent the first connection from loosening.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a rotatable tubing string in a well and for tensioning the tubing string includes a tubing head (12) and inner mandrel (34) positioned at least partially within the tubing head and supporting the tubing string. A bushing (32) is supported on the tubing head and engages the inner mandrel, such that the bushing and the inner mandrel rotate together. A tubing rotator (16) is provided for rotating the bushing, with a tubing rotator having a rotator mandrel connected to the bushing. A plurality of circumferentially spaced J-lock mechanisms (56) between the bushing and the inner mandrel are provided for tensioning the tubing string.
