In another aspect, a process of sealing an annular area in a wellbore is provided in which a tubular having perforation at a predetermined location and a sleeve concentrically coving substantially all of the perforations is expanded into substantial contact with a junction between two tubulars, such as a liner and a casing, or between two liners.
