Patent ID: 8061428

Claim:
A subsea wellhead assembly comprising: a wellhead housing having an axial bore; a production tree secured to the wellhead housing upper end; a tree bore axially formed in the production tree and coaxially aligned with the housing axial bore; a tubing hanger landed in the wellhead housing; a bridge member atop the tubing hanger and coaxially disposed in the tree bore; an axial passage extending coaxially within the tubing hanger and bridge member; a production port extending laterally through a sidewall of the production tree above an uppermost end of the tubing hanger; an annular production flow passage within the tree bore and circumscribing the bridge member and tubing hanger; and a production flow passage laterally extending from the axial passage into communication with the annular production flow passage, so that landing the tubing hanger in any azimuthal orientation in the wellhead housing creates communication between the axial passage to the lateral production port in the tree via the production flow passage and annular production flow passage.
