The SL tubing hanger system is designed for
use over TLC (Tubingless Completion) equipment. Once production
through a larger tubing string begins to slow, the operator may
choose to install a smaller tubing string in order to continue
lifting fluids. In this application, the SL tubing head can be
installed between the TLC adapter and lower master valve. The
SL tubing head features a retractable tag pin that allows for
full opening bore for passage of back pressure valves and ensures
positive tubing hanger location. The SL tubing hanger is landed
through the tree, secured in place and may begin taking production.
If so desired, the operator may also choose to utilize a crossover
adapter in order to install a smaller bore tree over the installed
SL tubing hanger.
