ABSTRACT:
An adjustable mandrel hanger assembly will maintain tension in a section of casing extending from a subsea location to a surface wellhead. The assembly has a mandrel that secures to the upper end of the casing. The mandrel has grooves on its exterior. A collet slides over the mandrel and has grooves on its interior for mating with the grooves on the mandrel. The collet has inclined load flanks on its exterior. A load ring lands on a load shoulder provided in the surface wellhead housing. The load ring has load flanks on its interior that engage the load flanks of the collet. A retaining ring locks the load ring in the wellhead housing. A running tool pushes downward on the load ring while tension is maintained on the mandrel. The collet ratchets over the mandrel grooves.
