Definitions
- ABSTRACT A plural tubing hanger is set in a well bore below the platform, and a plural safety valve is latched in the tubing hanger by manipulation of one of the surface tubing strings extending between the subsurface valve assembly and a tubing hanger at the platform.
- the surface tubing strings and the control fluid conduit for conducting control fluid to the subsurface valves from the platform are lontigudinally adjustable to properly space the surface tubing strings which extend between the subsurface tubing hanger and the tubing head on the platform.
- the weight of both surface tubing strings is carried by an adjustor sub, and in another form the adjustor sub is relieved of the weight of the nonoperating surface tubing string during adjustment.
