A hanger assembly for supporting a tubular member within an outer well member having a central axis, the hanger assembly comprising: a slip bowl, the slip bowl being a cylindrical member moveable between an expanded condition with an enlarged diameter and a contracted condition with a reduced diameter, the slip bowl having a downward facing slip bowl shoulder on an outer diameter of the slip bowl; slips carried by the slip bowl, the slips having teeth on an inner diameter surface of the slips, the slips being moveable between a retracted position where an innermost diameter of the teeth is greater than an inner diameter of the slip bowl, and an extended position where the teeth protrude radially inward from the inner diameter of the slip bowl; and a false bowl, the false bowl being a cylindrical member having a lower upward facing false bowl shoulder located on an inner diameter of the false bowl and sized to selectively engage the downward facing slip bowl shoulder, the false bowl further having a downward facing landing shoulder located on an outer diameter of the false bowl and sized to selectively engage a support shoulder of the outer well member, the false bowl extending axially upward from the downward facing landing shoulder, characterised in that: (i) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder having a sloped surface selectively engaging an outer surface of the slip bowl as the slip bowl moves axially relative to the false bowl, or (ii) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, a region of larger inner diameter above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and a region of smaller inner diameter below the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder, and wherein when the slip bowl is in the expanded condition, a portion of the slip bowl is located axially above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and when the slip bowl is in the contracted condition, the region of smaller inner diameter circumscribes the slip bowl. a slip bowl, the slip bowl being a cylindrical member moveable between an expanded condition with an enlarged diameter and a contracted condition with a reduced diameter, the slip bowl having a downward facing slip bowl shoulder on an outer diameter of the slip bowl; slips carried by the slip bowl, the slips having teeth on an inner diameter surface of the slips, the slips being moveable between a retracted position where an innermost diameter of the teeth is greater than an inner diameter of the slip bowl, and an extended position where the teeth protrude radially inward from the inner diameter of the slip bowl; and a false bowl, the false bowl being a cylindrical member having a lower upward facing false bowl shoulder located on an inner diameter of the false bowl and sized to selectively engage the downward facing slip bowl shoulder, the false bowl further having a downward facing landing shoulder located on an outer diameter of the false bowl and sized to selectively engage a support shoulder of the outer well member, the false bowl extending axially upward from the downward facing landing shoulder, characterised in that: (i) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder having a sloped surface selectively engaging an outer surface of the slip bowl as the slip bowl moves axially relative to the false bowl, or (ii) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, a region of larger inner diameter above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and a region of smaller inner diameter below the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder, and wherein when the slip bowl is in the expanded condition, a portion of the slip bowl is located axially above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and when the slip bowl is in the contracted condition, the region of smaller inner diameter circumscribes the slip bowl. (i) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder having a sloped surface selectively engaging an outer surface of the slip bowl as the slip bowl moves axially relative to the false bowl, or (ii) the false bowl has an upper upward facing false bowl shoulder located on the inner diameter of the false bowl, a region of larger inner diameter above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and a region of smaller inner diameter below the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder, and wherein when the slip bowl is in the expanded condition, a portion of the slip bowl is located axially above the upper upward facing false bowl shoulder and when the slip bowl is in the contracted condition, the region of smaller inner diameter circumscribes the slip bowl.
