A handling and assembly system and method for use in deploying tubing in a subterranean environment. A framework is used to linearly engage sequential tubular members as a tubing string is formed and run into a subterranean environment. The system also facilitates the disassembly of the individual tubular components from the tubing string.

Handling and assembly equipment and method

A system for expanding tubular structures. The system comprises a mandrel that is moved through the center of a tubular structure to increase the diameter of the tubular structure via deformation. The system utilizes an expansion device having a mandrel with multiple segments moved between a contracted state and an expanded state. In one embodiment, the mandrel segments are spring biased to permit a degree of independent movement of each mandrel segment with respect to the other mandrel segments.
