A tubing expansion device is adapted to be advanced axially, without rotation, through tubing to be expanded. The device comprises a body and a plurality of expansion members mounted on the body, the expansion members being independently radially movable. The expansion members may be rotatable, or may be non-rotating.

Tubing expansion

A tubing expansion device () is adapted to be advanced axially, without rotation, through tubing () to be expanded. The device () comprises a body () and a plurality of expansion members () mounted on the body (), the expansion members () being independently radially movable. The expansion members may be rotatable, or may be non-rotating.

A method of expanding tubing comprises the steps: providing a length of expandable tubing; locating an expansion tool, such as a cone, in the tubing; and applying impulses to the tool to drive the tool through the tubing and expand the tubing to a larger diameter. The tubing may be located downhole and may have a solid wall or a slotted wall.
