The AutoCoil Hanger is a self-contained mechanical hanger that uses an automatic slip assembly to anchor and lock the coiled tubing from upward or downward movement in the well. The AutoCoil Hanger eliminates the need of an access window, thereby improving performance, safety and time efficiency on coil hang-off operations. A stripper element at the top of the hanger prevents debris from falling alongside the coil, eliminating potential problems when setting the slips.
