Abstract
A method for aligning a tree within a resource extraction system includes disposing a riser system on a wellhead of the resource extraction system without utilizing a mechanical alignment system to circumferentially align the riser system with the wellhead. The method also includes disposing a tubing hanger at a landed position within the wellhead. In addition, the method includes disposing an orientation mechanism on the wellhead. The orientation mechanism includes an alignment feature configured to engage a corresponding alignment feature of the tree. Furthermore, the method includes moving the tree toward the wellhead such that the alignment feature of the tree engages the alignment feature of the orientation mechanism to approximately establish a target circumferential orientation of the tree relative to the tubing hanger.
