Abstract
An inwardly biased tubing hanger is provided that allows for continued turns in the same direction to both lock the tubing hanger in place within the well as well as release the running tool from the tubing hanger. An energizing sleeve and running tool each having left hand threads is provided where a torque ring between the energizing sleeve and running tool allows the running tool to be turn in the right hand direction until sufficient torque is provided to the torque sleeve to release the running tool from the energizing sleeve. With the running tool attached to the energizing sleeve the energizing sleeve provides sufficient force, provided the torque limit of the torque sleeve is not been reached, to drive the inwardly biased torque ring radially outward.
