Abstract
A system to be used with a subsea well or completion installation can include a non-oriented tubing hanger adapter bushing (THAB) to be associated with a sleeve and a full-bore tubing head spool (FBTHS) of the subsea well or completion installation. An externally activated key of the FBTHS can engage with a helical groove associated with the sleeve and with the non-oriented THAB to enable self-orientation of a tubing hanger independent of an external orientation application based in part on a blowout preventer (BOP).
