Abstract
A method of re-manufacturing a composite riser section having a damaged original metal liner comprises inserting an expandable replacement liner into the bore of the composite riser section and positioning the replacement liner to cover the metal liner. An annular recess may be formed circumferentially into the damaged portion of the metal liner to accommodate the replacement liner. The replacement liner is radially expanded within the composite riser section and a seal is created to prevent fluid inside the composite riser from flowing around the replacement liner, through the damaged liner, and to the outside of the composite riser.
