Apparatus facilitating successive installation of casing sections endwise in a well, that includes: a) hanger structure sized for installation at a well head, the hanger structure having a vertical through opening via which successive casing sections are installable vertically in the well,b) the hanger structure having vertically spaced shoulders defined by removable supports for landing casing sections,c) there being adjustable means for enabling controllable adjustment of hanger length, whereby uncemented casing weight is applied on the hanger structure,d) and wherein said shoulders are defined by annular supports which are removable from said hanger structure, and adapted to pass said casing sections. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein in an upward direction said annular supports have progressively smaller inner diameters. 5. The apparatus of claim 3 including annular sealing structure associated with at least one annular support for sealing off against well casing. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said sealing structure includes an O-ring and at least two spaced annular sealing surfaces against which the O-ring seals in addition to sealing off against well casing. 7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein at least one of said annular sealing surfaces extends at on angle between about 35° and 55° in planes containing the O-ring axis. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein there are multiple of said sealing structure spaced lengthwise of the casing. 9. The apparatus of claim 6 including a holder spaced from said two surfaces pressurizing the O-ring to seal off against the casing section and also to seal against said sealing services. 10. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the sealing structure includes a second O-ring located coaxially with the first mentioned O-ring. 11. Apparatus facilitating successive installation of casing sections endwise in a well, that includes: a) hanger structure sized for installation at a well head, the hanger structure having a vertical through opening via which successive casing sections are installable vertically in the well,b) the hanger structure having vertically spaced shoulders defined by removable supports for landing casing sections,c) there being adjustable means for enabling controllable adjustment of hanger length, whereby uncemented casing weight is applied on the hanger structure,d) and wherein said hanger structure includes body sections providing a vertical opening to receive the casing strings landed at vertically spaced locations. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein said hanger structure is defined by bowls located at vertically spaced locations in the body sections. 13. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein said casing includes a head adapted to be landed, at least one body section being configured to be sidewardly laterally removable away from the landed head of casing that has been successfully cemented, to allow connection of well producing apparatus to said head. 14. The apparatus of claim 12 including supports in said body section supporting said bowls. 15. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein said bowls have upwardly successively reduced diameters. 16. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein at least one of said body sections is laterally removable away from casing landed at a bowl therein. 17. The combination of claim 12 wherein at least one body section includes detachable components removable laterally away from installed casing, at the well head. 18. The combination of claim 17 including means holding the body section components in detachable assembled condition. 19. The combination of claim 17 including supports in said body sections supporting said bowls, at least one support including detachable components removable laterally away from installed casing, at the well head. 20. The combination of claim 19 wherein the supports have relatively removable sections. 21. The combination of claim 18 wherein the bowl sections are held in assembled annular condition by the latch means. 22. The combination of claim 21 including supports in said body sections supporting said bowls, at least one support including detachable components removable laterally away from installed casing, at the well head. 23. The combination of claim 22 wherein the support sections are also held in assembled annular condition. 24. The combination of claim 12 including a well head, and wherein at least one body section includes detachable components removable laterally away from installed casing, at the well head, and together with said bowl or bowls. 25. The combination of claim 24 wherein the bowls having relatively removable sections. 26. The method of installing well head production apparatus onto well casing connected into position in a well, that includes: a) installing and landing multiple concentric casing strings in the well, for cementing,b) detecting unwanted weight induced downward displacement of at least one selected string after attempted string cementing, and while landing weight is temporarily relieved, and until no such downward displacement of a last installed casing string is detected,c) and then connecting said production apparatus to an upper, extent of said last installed casing string. 27. The method of claim 26 wherein body sections are provided to define a vertical opening to receive the casing strings landed at vertically spaced locations. 28. The method of claim 27 wherein casing landing bowls are provided at vertically spaced locations in the body sections. 29. The method of claim 28 wherein at least one body section is sidewardly laterally removable away from casing that has been successfully cemented, to allow connection to said head of well producing apparatus. 30. The method of claim 29 includes providing removable latches to hold body sections in position to support said bowls. 31. The method of claim 29 including providing detachable and removable flanges on the body sections to hold the body sections in position to support said bowls. 32. The method of claim 26 wherein said detecting is effected by moving a piston and cylinder assembly wherein casing weight is applied to the piston, and resisted by fluid in the cylinder. 33. The method of claim 26 herein said step b) comprises detecting unwanted weight induced downward displacement of multiple of the casing strings after attempted string cementing. 34. The method of claim 33 wherein said multiple casing strings include three of said strings, which are installed before said cementing. 35.
