    摘要: Smart wellhead assemblies with sensors for detecting positions of components within the bores of the wellhead assemblies are provided. In some instances, the sensors can be used to detect one or more of landing, locking, or concentricity of hangers, packoffs, or other internal wellhead components within bores. In one example, a method of installing a hanger within a wellhead includes lowering the hanger within the wellhead and using one or more sensors to detect when the hanger is at a target location. The method can also include activating a locking mechanism of the hanger and using the one or more sensors to detect when the locking mechanism has secured the hanger within the wellhead. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A monitoring system includes a first transducer component configured to couple to a running tool that is configured to place an insert into a housing and a second transducer component configured to couple to the housing. One of the first transducer component or the second transducer component is configured to emit acoustic waves, and the other one of the first transducer component or the second transducer component is configured to output sensor signals indicative of a received portion of the acoustic waves. The monitoring system also includes one or more processors configured to determine that the insert is in a landed position in the housing based on the sensor signals.
