A tubular sleeve overlaps the threaded connection between a pair of adjacent tubular members that are to receive an expansion device for radial expansion and plastic deformation of the threaded tubular connection.

Sleeve for expandable tubular threaded connection and method of expanding tubular thereof

A tubular sleeve is coupled to and overlaps the threaded connection between a pair of adjacent tubular members.

Protective sleeve for threaded connections for expandable liner hanger

A method of drilling and lining a wellbore includes operably coupling a support member to a drilling device, an expansion cone configured to expand a tubular member, an actuator configured to pull the expansion cone through the tubular member, a releasable locking device configured to limit displacement of the tubular member relative to the actuator during actuation. The drilling device is disposed below the expansion cone and the expansion cone is disposed at a lower end of the tubular member. The method further includes locking the locking device. After locking the locking device, a wellbore is drilled to have a diameter greater than an outside diameter of the tubular member. After the drilling, the actuator is actuated to pull the expansion cone towards the locking device to expand at least a portion of the tubular member into contact with the drilled wellbore. The method further includes releasing the locking device and removing the drilling device through the expanded tubular member.

Apparatus and methods for drilling and lining a wellbore

An apparatus for radially expanding and plastically deforming a tubular member. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a support member and an adjustable expansion device coupled thereto. The adjustable expansion device includes a tubular support member with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart inclined surfaces, a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart expansion segments movably coupled to the tubular support member, and an actuator for displacing the expansion segments relative to the tubular support member to thereby displace each of the expansion segments onto corresponding inclined surfaces.

Mono-diameter wellbore casing

A lubrication system for lubricating an interface between one or more expansion surfaces of an expansion device and one or more interior surfaces of a tubular member during a radial expansion of the tubular member using the expansion device.

Lubrication system for radially expanding tubular members

An apparatus and method for radially expanding a tubular member. The apparatus includes a tubular support member, an adjustable expansion cone assembly coupled to the tubular support member and means for adjusting the expansion cone assembly.

An apparatus and method for forming a mono diameter wellbore casing.

Mono diameter wellbore casing

A mono-diameter wellbore casing. The mono-diameter wellbore casing is formed by plastically deforming and radially expanding a first tubular member within a wellbore. A second tubular member is then plastically deformed and radially expanded in overlapping relation to the first tubular member. The second tubular member and the overlapping portion of the first tubular member are then radially expanded again.

Method and apparatus for forming a mono-diameter wellbore casing

A system for lining a wellbore casing includes a support member, an expansion device coupled to an end of the support member, and a tubular liner coupled to the expansion device. The tubular liner includes an expandable tubular member that includes a first tubular portion, a second tubular portion, and an intermediate tubular portion coupled between the first and second tubular portions. The expandable tubular member also includes a sealing member coupled to the exterior surface of the intermediate tubular portion.
