The
tubing hanger consists of a main body, an elastomer seal and a
compression/support ring. The annulus seal is automatically energized
by the weight of the tubing string. Extrusion of the seal is controlled
by a positive stop between the compression/support ring and the
hanger body. If the tubing weight is not sufficient to extrude
the seals, it will be energized by the lockscrews used to retain
the hanger in the bowl.
An internal profile is provided for setting
a back pressure valve.
