Description of the Prior Art A typical submerged wellhead assembly includes an enclosure for the wellhead installed on the bed marine With a drilling operation prevention stack (BOP) installed in the wellhead housing, the wellbore is drilled while successively rows of concentric decks are installed in the wellbore. Typically each row of successive decks is stuck on its lower end and includes a cover hanger sell With a mechanical seal assembly at its upper end in the wellhead housing In order to produce the coated well, a row of production pipes and pipe hangers are typically introduced into the wellbore through stacking BOP, and the pipe hanger is supported is sealed and fixed in the well housing and / or the cover hanger After sealing the holes that extend through the pipe hanger, the BOP stacking It removes and a Christmas tree is inserted into the well's mouth housing. A Christmas tree is a term used in the oil field that refers to a control valve assembly and regulators placed on top of a well to control the flow of oil and gas It is vital for the operation and safety of the well that the appropriate connections are remotely formed between the Christmas tree, the lodging of the mouth of the well and the pipe hanger, the wellhead housing and the pipe hanger In a conventional prepared well system The Christmas tree is connected to the upper part of the well housing through a well pipe hanger The pipe hanger supports at least one row of production pipes and a conduit that communicates with the ring that surrounds the row of pipes and within the row of innermost or production covers In addition, a pipe hanger includes at least a vertical production perforation to communicate the fluid between the row of pipes and a corresponding vertical perforation to communicate the fluid between the row of pipes and a corresponding production hole in the Christmas tree, and typically at least one vertical annular perforation to communicate fluid between the pipe ring and a corresponding annular hole in the Christmas tree The pipe hanger may additionally include one or more service and control conduits for communicating control fluids and well chemicals through the pipe hanger or electrical power to devices or positions located in or below the pipe hanger A pipe hanger is conventionally sealed and rigidly fixed in the borehole of the well the component on which it is supported. In a well that has a conventional Christmas tree, the pipe hanger rests on the wellhead housing The pipe hanger typically includes an integral locking mechanism that when activated sets the pipe hanger to the wellhead housing or a profile of the roof hanger The locking mechanism ensures that any subsequent pressure of inside the well that acts on the pipe hanger does not cause the pipe hanger to rise from the pit well housing resulting in an unsafe condition. There are a limited number of manufacturers of underwater wellhead equipment around the world. Primary manufacturers of the offshore wellhead housings are ABB Veteo Gray, Cooper Cameron Corp, Dpl-Quip, FMC and Kvaerner Each of the primary manufacturers has its own design of wellhead housing and roof hangers, dimensions and details. Very often, a well is prepared in a housing of the well manhole and cover hangers from manufacturer A that use a pipe hanger and / or a Christmas tree from manufacturer B However, since the design of the housing and cover hanger from manufacturer A is private, manufacturer B can not connect your pipe hanger and / or Christmas tree to the accommodation of manufacturer A without paying license fees to manufacturer A in order to design the equipment of manufacturer B to interconnect appropriately and match the wellhead housing and The manufacturer's cover hanger A This results in an additional amount of engineering and additional costs or equipment (such as a pipe reel) when you choose to purchase the equ Type of manufacturer B for use with manhole housing of manufacturer A Since each wellhead housing system manufacturer has multiple housing models and roof hanger with different private details, it is not practical or economical to Other manufacturers make an inventory of equipment for installation in the wellhead equipment of another manufacturer In addition to the added costs, it also increases the delivery time that is often of vital importance to the owner of the well 3.

Detailed Description of the Invention One embodiment of the invention is described in detail with specific reference to the drawings. This invention relates to the preparation of a well that has been drilled and has a perforated hole lined with a cover. Although the following description and the drawings illustrate the invention embodied in an underwater well, the invention can also be performed in a well above the ground. Referring to Figure 1, a typical perforated well bore B is shown extending from seabed F to a zone Z, which typically communicates with a hydrocarbon fluid reservoir. The wellbore B is shown with a tubular row of cover pipes that are understood from seafloor F to bore B as is known in the art. The row series of tubes starting from the outer row, including a conduit housing 12, a wellbore housing 14, a row of first or outer covers 16 with a hanger 16a, and a row of inner or production covers 18 with an 18a hanger. The well shown in Figure 1 represents a typical well for purposes of illustrating the present invention; however, the invention is not limited to wells with this precise configuration. The figures in the drawings have not been drawn to scale because of the tremendous depths at which the wells are drilled. Still referring to FIG. 1, the upper portion of the conductor housing 12 is preferably above the seabed F. The housing of the wellhead 14 preferably a high pressure housing extends above the driver housing 12. Preferably the upper part of the mouth of the well 14 is located approximately 3 meters above the seabed F. The well mouth housing 14 typically includes an external profile (not shown) to be connected to a connector 20a of a prevention stack. of explosions ("BOP") 20 and an oil field Christmas tree as described below. Typically roof hangers 16a and 18a are supported and fixed in the housing of the mouth of the well 14.
Although not shown, the wellbore housing 14 typically includes several internal profiles, dimensions and details for the support, coupling and sealing of the cover hangers 16a, 18a in the wellbore housing 14. Each The manhole manufacturer has several housings at the wellhead with corresponding roof hangers for each wellhead housing. As a result, the cover hangers 16a, 18a installed in the wellbore housing 14 are typically manufactured by the same company since the wellboats and cover hangers of each manufacturer are different from those of the other manufacturers. Following the placement of the covers as shown in Figure 1, a pipe hanger assembly typically operates in a conventional well. Although not shown, a typical pipe hanger assembly of the prior art (this is a well in which the pipe hanger is supported on the wellbore housing) includes a housing having a row of production pipes which extends from the housing to substantially the production zone Z. A pipe hanger installed in the wellbore housing of Figure 1 rests on one or more backrests 18b on the cover hanger 18a. The weight of the suspended pipe row is supported by the cover hanger 18a. Although the production deck hanger 18a of the prior art is not shown, it includes internal profiles, dimensions and details of support, coupling and sealing of a typical prior art pipe hanger in the cover hanger 18a. Similar to the above, each roof hanger manufacturer has its own private configuration with respect to the coupling and connection to the cab. As a result, in a typical conventional well, the pipe hanger is usually manufactured by the same manufacturer of roof hangers as it is also typically the wellhead housing manufacturer. Referring still to Fig. 1, the BOP stack 20 is shown with a connector 20a, a vertical bore 20b, a plurality of rams 20r, a throttling line 20c and a line of 20k closure There are several types of BOP 20 stacking configurations that are suitable for use with the wellbore housing 14 The BOP stacking bore 20b is shown with a diameter approximately the diameter of the borehole housing 14 However the diameter of the BOP hole only needs to have a diameter that is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of any tool or component of the well that passes through the BOP 20 stack for a desired installation or repair operation The term "repair" is used to designate one or more of a variety of remedy operations in a producing well for the purpose of restoring or increase production Although not necessary, it may be desirable to determine the distance between the upper end 18c of the production cover hanger 18a and the upper face 14a of the wellbore housing 14 The depth of the upper end 18c is typically determined from the known depth (dimension) of the BOP stack 20. A typical well mouth housing 14 has approximately 60 to 90 cm between the upper layer of the housing 14a and the upper end 18 c of the production deck hanger 18a. Preferably, the length D between the top of a plurality of BOP rams 20r, for example the ram 20r 'in Figure 1, and an inner face 20f of the BOP wellbore connector 20a is measured and known. This length D is referred to as the dimension of spacing for the reasons that will be explained later. The inner face 20f of the wellhead connector 20a typically is adjacent to or embedded in the upper face 14a of the wellbore housing 14 when the BOP stack is mounted in the wellbore housing 14.

Figure 2. The adjusting nut 48 in the aforementioned embodiment has an outer diameter greater than the outer diameter of the upper mandrel 46. As the suspension assembly of the pipe hanger 10 approaches the desired depth, the larger diameter adjusting nut 48"expands" on the rams 20r 'which are closed to a diameter smaller than the diameter of the adjusting nut 48 but larger than the diameter of the mandrel. Referring to Figures 2 and 2A, the preferred installation operation of the pipe hanger suspension assembly 10 includes immersion through an elevator (not shown) and stacking BOP 20, of the production pipeline 22, the sealing and fixing assembly 34, the lower tubular pipe hanger member 32, and the pipe hanger housing 24 with the pipe hanger positioning tool 30 and a row of installation pipes 50, preferably the drill pipe. The ram 20r 'of the BOP is partially closed after the housing of the pipe hanger 24 passes through the lower portions of the pipe hanger positioning tool 30. With the ram 20r' closed or partially closed against the upper mandrel 46, the dipping operation continues until the adjusting nut 48 makes contact with the ram 20r 'and stops the pipe hanger placement tool 30 at a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance appropriately places the pipe hanger housing 24 at a prescribed height relative to the wellbore housing 14 In the preferred embodiment of the pipe hanger 24 within the wellbore housing 14 For example the predetermined distance can locate the upper end of the pipe hanger housing 24 to 254 or 5 cm above or below the upper surface of the well head housing 14 When the adjusting nut 48 contacts the ram 20r ', the The lower tubular member of the pipe hanger 32 and the sealing and fastening assembly 34 are held vertically in position in the production casing body 18 Next, if desired, a well preparation fluid is circulated in the well. BOP 20r 'rams are sealed around the mandrel 46 The well preparation fluid is pumped from the equipment to the dead line 20k of the BOP stack 20 and towards the annular access perforation of the pipe hanger fitting tool 30b, the annular passage of the pipe hanger 24b, the production ring of the lower member 32a and the production pipe ring 22b and returns to the surface to the perforation 22a, the production perforation of the pipe hanger 24a, the positioning tool production perforation 30a and the perforation 50a of the installation pipeline 50 Alternatively the preparation fluid can be pumped downwards from perforation of the installation pipeline 50a, the production hole of the laying tool 30a, the pipe hanger and the perforations of the production row 24a and 22a and around the lower production packing 52 and the ring perforations 22b, 32a to the passage of the pipe hanger ring 24b, the drilling of the ring of the tool of c Placement 30 b and to the surface through the choke or the dead lines of the BOP 20c, 20k. The preparation fluid is circulated in the well before the lower gasket 52 is placed to form a seal between the production casing 18 and the production line 22 at the lower end of the well. It is to be understood that the above circulations of the preparation fluid can be conducted either before or after the sealing apparatus 38 is placed. Then the sealing and fixing assembly 34 is activated, preferably hydraulically, by means of the hydraulic control lines for pushing the fixing apparatus 40 (see figure 3) into a strong coupling with the production cover 18. The coupled fixing apparatus 40 prevents or substantially prevents relative vertical movement between the lower tubular member 32 and the production cover 18. After activation of the sealing apparatus 38, the sealing apparatus 38 forms a fluid-tight seal or algae between the lower tubular member 32 and the production cover 18. The sealing and fixing assembly 34 may include a row of inserts having metallic elements that tighten the production cover 18.

The right side of figure 6 shows the insulated valve of the ring 28 in the closed position to close the hanger housing of 24b pipe, and the left side shows the left valve isolated from the ring 28 in the open position to open the pipe hanger housing 24b Preferably the left and right isolation valves isolated from the ring 28 valve assume the same position and are operated together As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the hanger bar sub assembly 74 preferably includes a pair of ring bores 74b in order to provide an annular flow area of sufficient cross section, typically the combined area is equivalent to cross-sectional area of a perforation with a diameter of 38 to 5 cm The lower ends of the annular perforations 74b are in fluid communication with each other by means of a notch or peripheral gallery 74b 'Similarly the upper ends of the perforations of the ring 74b they are in fluid communication with each other by means of a notch or peripheral gallery 74b "Al Alternatively or additionally, the shaft assembly 60 may also include a peripheral notch to provide fluid communication to the ring bore 70 and the ring master valve 72 (FIG. 5) The annular flow path P from below the seal assembly and fastening 34 to the shaft assembly 60 with the ring isolating valve 28 open as indicated by the arrows in figure 6 Figures 8 and 9 show passages for the controls of the subsurface or injection and hydraulic safety valve (SSSV The sectional views of FIGS. 8 and 9 have been rotated angularly in relation to the sectional view of FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 9, the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 includes separate passages for the hydraulic controls 74c. for the subsurface safety valve 26 and the chemical injection 74d. Galleries similar to the ones described above are provided for each one. The stamps are preferably provided between each of the galleries to maintain segregation between the different passages. In the preferred embodiment, the widths (measured along the longitudinal axis of the hanger bar submarine assembly 74) of the indentations or peripheral grooves are larger than the respective diameters of the perforations 74b, 74c and 74d to allow communication between the respective passages in a range of vertical separation variations between the pipe hanger housing 24 and the shaft assembly 60. For example, the vertical elevation of the pipe hanger housing 24 in relation to the well housing is predetermined. 14a and is fixed by means of the upper mandrel 46 of the positioning tool and the adjusting nut 48 as described above. The shaft assembly 60 is installed in the wellhead housing 14. The hanger bar submarine assembly 74 provides the fluids and controls the bond between the pipe hanger housing 24 and shaft assembly 60. Since the Hanger bar submarine assembly 74 is preferably attached to the shaft assembly 60 prior to submerging the assembly, it is important that all fluid / control connections between the pipe hanger housing 24 and the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 they automatically coincide when the shaft assembly 60 is fixed to the wellbore housing 14. The enlarged widths of the peripheral grooves or grooves described above allow the desired coupling over a range of distances between the shaft assembly 60 and the hanger housing of pipe 24. Preferably, the galleries allow the hanger bar sub assembly 74 to properly engage and communicate through of a vertical range of approximately 2.54 to 7.6 cm. The galleries, as described with respect to the preferred embodiment, allow the shaft assembly 60, the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 and the housing pipe hanger 24 for communicating and coupling with each other regardless of the angular orientation of the separated components. This "unoriented" feature of the apparatus simplifies the preparation and installation of underwater components. The invention can also be useful with oriented submarine components. With the shaft assembly 60 already fixed and tested, the closure member 54 (see figure 4) is recovered to the surface through the perforations of the production line 22., the pipe hanger housing 24, the hanger bar submarine assembly 74, the Christmas tree assembly 60 tree assembly, the tree preparation tool 56 and the row of tubes 50. Figure 10 shows a slight modification to the embodiment of the present invention shown and described above. In Figure 10, a stopping apparatus 80 is connected to the lower end of the pipe hanger housing 24. The stopping apparatus 80 is preferably an annular member having an upper annular portion 82 and a lower annular portion 84, each annular portion. upper annular portion 82, lower annular portion 84 includes a threaded end 82a, 84a, respectively, adapted to mate with each other. Preferably the lower annular portion 84 has a lower level end 84b corresponding to the backrest 18b in the production cover hanger 18a. Preferably the length of the stopping apparatus 80 can be adjusted by means of a threaded coupling of the annular portions annular upper portion 82 and lower annular portion 84 before installing the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10. Preferably the length of the arresting apparatus 80 is such that the lower level end 84b contacts the back of the cover hanger 18b and transfers the weight of the universal pipe hanger suspension assembly 10 to the production deck hanger 18a. Thus, if the dimensions and placement of the production cover hanger 18a are known in relation to the wellbore housing 14, the stopping apparatus 80 can be employed to provide a lower stop when the hanger hanger assembly is immersed and installed. for universal tubing 10. In addition, the stopping apparatus 80 can be used in place of the adjusting nut 48 of Fig. 2. The stopping apparatus 80 does not provide a seal, and does not provide upward force resistance, seal and seal. Resistance to upward forces are still provided by means of the sealing and clamping assembly 34. Based on the above description of the invention, a "universal" equipment of components for an underwater well is obtained. For example, referring again to Figure 1, a common size of the wellbore housing 14 has an internal diameter (ID) of 47.3 to 47.65 cm, depending on the manufacturer. The deck strainers 16a, production deck hanger 18a installed in these well housings housing the well mouth 14 are typically below 61 to 91.4 cm below the bottom face housing of the well bore 14a of the well housing 14. Thus the pipe hanger housing 24 (FIGS. 2 2 a) of the hanger suspension assembly for universal universal pipe 10 can occupy a round cylinder space of approximately 47 cm in diameter and 61 cm in diameter. height in the upper portion of the wellhead housing 14. Since the pipe hanger housing 24 does not include a reversible locking mechanism for fixing the upper portion of the wellbore housing 14 (typical of pipe hangers) conventional), the diameter of 47 cm can be substantially completely used by the pipe hanger housing 24. This larger diameter of the mouth housing of the Well 14 is advantageous because the "useful space" for the different perforations and passages required to pass through the pipe hanger housing is substantially greater than in conventional pipe hangers. Preferably, the length of the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 (see Figures 5,6) is the same regardless of the type of housing of the well head 14 and the cover hangers 16, production deck hanger 18a in which Tree assembly 60 is installed. This is achieved due to the use of the D dimension of spacing to place substantially uniformly the pipe hanger housing hanger 24 in relation to the upper part of the well housing 14 regardless of the type of wellhead housing. This provides simplicity in the design between wells and allows a "universal" hanger bar sub assembly 74 used with the preferred shaft assembly 60. Certainly the separate bar assemblies are required for the production tubes of different sizes. So it should be understood that the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10, the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 and the shaft assembly 60 are capable of being installed in different hanger bar sub assembly 74, and are to a large extent "universal" and "shelf" items, eliminating significant costs of engineering and fabrication that is incurred when the manufacturer's tree assembly A is installed in a well-hole housing of the manufacturer B. The present invention also removes the sludge from the pipe reel (connector to the wellhead and the wellhead transfer housing) mounted on the manhole housing of the manufacturer B to carry the pipe hanger of the manufacturer A. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 , the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 and the shaft assembly 60 do not require angular orientation. This feature significantly simplifies the installation procedure. However, the invention is not limited to non-orientation arrangements and can also be used with components that require orientation with each other. Techniques for orienting a tree assembly to a pipe hanger are well known in the art. One type of suitable orientation technique is described in U.S. Patent 5, 544,707 and incorporated by reference. Another orientation technique in which to modify the BOP 20 stack with a bolt to orient the components as they pass through the BOP 20 stack. The orientation of the components adds cost and complexity to the subsea installation process. The present invention includes a hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 for an oil and gas well and a method for installing it. The universal pipe hanger suspension assembly 10 includes a pipe hanger housing 24 which is placed in the well mouth housing 14. The hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 includes a sealing and fixing assembly 34 capable of providing a seal and load bearing to the production pipe 22 in the cover row 18. A hanger bar sub assembly 74 connected to the upper end of the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 and the lower end of the Christmas tree assembly row of tubes 50 provides a hydraulic and electrical functionality in the hole and access to the ring for the production pipe 22. Using the BOP 20 stack for spacing and the placement of the hanger assembly for universal pipe 10 eliminates the need for exact dimensions of wellbore housing 14 for spacing and also eliminates the need for of internal stacking dimensions to serve as interface with the underwater tree assembly tree assembly 60 to the hanger bar submarine assembly 74. Preferably the spacing of the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 is achieved by means of a nut adjustable spacing nut 48 on the upper part of the upper mandrel 46 of the preparation tool 30 in the BOP stack 20. Alternatively the predetermined elevation of the spacing of the hanger suspension assembly for universal pipe 10 can be achieved by using a stopping apparatus 80, preferably adjusting that it is supported on the 18. Using the pipe packing technology to fix the lift of the lower member to a predetermined elevation through the BOP 20 stack and not in the wellbore housing 14 allows the interface of underwater tree in any industrial wellhead system El or di used in the system eliminates the use of BOP 20 stacking or wellbore for orientation The apparatus and methods described above are advantageous because they are suitable for use in wellbore housings. pit mouth housing 14 regardless of privately owned details pertaining to the housing The universal pipe hanger suspension assembly 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention eliminates the need to use wellhead housing or the backs of support of the cover hanger for fixing and sealing the pipe hanger housing 24 in its position The universal hanger hanger assembly 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention also eliminates the need to seal the pipe hanger housing 24 to the wellbore housing 14 The preferred modality eliminates those requirements when sealing, anchoring and fixing the sealing and fixing assembly 34 in the row of production covers 18 suspended by the cover hanger 18a in the wellhead housing or the system The present invention provides simplicity and reduced costs when preparing an underwater well The pipe hanger housing 24 is preferably not fixed, sealed with or held by the well housing of the well 14 Thus the well housing of the well 14 no longer needs the details, profiles, etc. specifically related to the hanger housing of the well. pipe 24 In addition internal profiles, etc. are not required in the production of the row of production covers 18 to cooperate with the sealing and fixing assembly 34 This provides flexibility to install the pipe hanger housing 24 at the desired height to ensure that proper separation is bypassed by the hanger bar submarine assembly 74 as it is submerged n the shaft assembly 60 Even the final elevation of the sealing and fastening assembly 34 in the row 18 can be varied to a substantial distance by changing the length of the lower member 32 Depending on several factors related to the well, the invention can be made in a plurality of sealing and fastening assemblies sealing and fastening assembly 34 if deemed desirable The invention provides a substantial amount of additional cross-sectional area available for use in the pipe hanger housing 24 which represents a tremendous benefit. pipe 24 may have a diameter that approximates the internal diameter of the wellbore housing 14 The additional area allows ample space for a larger production bore or multiple production boreholes, rings and other ports and controls, etc. that are required or want in a hanger housing for pipeline presents a description of some of the benefits derived from the present embodiment of the suspension assembly for pipe hanger of the present invention: For the customer / user, the wellhead becomes invisible until its preparation. This provides the user with savings in two ways: in engineering and in the accessories interface. Engineering is reduced by determining pipe hanger interfaces such as tolerances and dimensions and compatibility issues. Currently this includes problems in underwater and surface preparations. o Engineering: 1. The time spent on interface engineering is important.
Users spend approximately one week-man on interface engineering for their preparation. This generally requires 2 engineers at a cost of $ 200 per hour giving a total of $ 16,000 per manufacturing interface. The cost for two wells is $ 32,000 dollars and for ten wells is $ 320,000. 2. A manufacturer that proposes privately owned drawings to work with the interfaces, $ 10,000 for each drawing. Typically, a minimum of two drawings is required for a total of $ 20,000. This is charged per well even when the wells are identical and the drawings are copied. If a user has two wells, the charge is $ 40,000 but if he has ten wells the charge is $ 200,000. Manhole manufacturers charge those prices for access to their private information that serves as a monetary incentive for the user to buy the pipe hanger and the Christmas tree from the manhole manufacturer instead of looking for the most economical solution / commercial to prepare your subsea well This totals between $ 36,000 per well and $ 520,000 per ten wells Manufacturing interfaces and accessories To prepare a well using conventional pipe suspension methods within a wellhead where the wellhead is A different manufacturer than the tree, the suspension system for conventional pipe from the tree manufacturer is not compatible with the wellhead Therefore, the user's preparation becomes useless. This means that the preparation with a cost of $ 1,300,000 to $ 2,000,000 is useless and must buy another tree which means costs of time, planning and accessories If the situation of the well allows In the technical deficit, a transfer spool can be used. However, the same problems expressed above with respect to engineering are presented. The transfer spool is mounted on the well housing and is designed to accommodate the pipe hanger of the well. tree manufacturer In addition to the additional engineering cost, the accessory cost for the transfer is approximately $ 500,000 with approximately another $ 1,500,000 to $ 7,000.00 in installation extension costs. This extension cost depends on the depth of the water and the geographical location. Horizontal trees have been used to help in this regard. In a horizontal shaft the pipe hanger housing is supported and sealed on the shaft (spool) contrary to the wellbore housing. However, horizontal trees have a price and require an engineering interface. Typically, the horizontal tree cost is approximately $ 1,000,000 higher and approximately $ 1,200,000 of the cost per ancillary rights per well is also required. In the preferred embodiment of the pipe hanger suspension assembly of the present invention, the fixing and sealing device is located in the perforation of the cover. This provides the advantages in the following areas: cost and flexibility. The cost is reduced for the user because a multi-perforation production pipe system can be used. This allows subsea rods to be used in the tree to perform multiple boreholes (production, ring and hydraulic ports) through underwater rod mandrels for the tree interface, thus saving approximately $ 500.00 to $ 7,000,000 in the tree and preparation. invention including 10, is not limited to the preferred embodiments described herein. The 10 is not limited to the pipe hanger housing received in the wellhead housing. Rather, the 10 can also be used in wells in which the pipe hanger is received in spools of pipe or horizontal trees mounted in the wellhead housing. It is to be understood that the sealing apparatus 38 and optionally the fixing apparatus 40, will still be placed in the row of covers 18. Preferred embodiments of the universal suspension assembly for hanging pipe and well preparation system and methods for installing them in accordance with the present invention have been described. However, the invention should not be unduly limited to what has been described above for illustrative purposes only. Various modifications and alterations of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the true scope of the invention.
