Abstract
A running tool has a core and a sleeve rotatably engaged to the core with a first ratchet mechanism. A ratchet ring engaged inward of an inward surface of the sleeve is configured to form a second ratchet mechanism with a set of ratchet teeth of a solid body hanger. The solid body hanger is a single, solid piece. An inward biased lock ring is operatively connected to an actuator to energize outwardly to secure the solid body hanger in a wellhead housing. The solid body hanger includes a shoulder with a weight sealing surface configured to form a metal-to-metal seal with the solid hanger body landed out in a casing head housing A single trip downhole and back for the running tool can both land out the hanger and engage the lock ring.
