Abstract
A system includes a hanger with a radially-outer surface with a hanger surface texture. The system also includes a sensor configured to detect vibrations induced by the hanger surface texture as the hanger moves through a housing of a wellhead. The system further includes a controller configured to receive signals indicative of the vibrations from the sensor and to process the signals to determine a position of the hanger within the housing of the wellhead.
