Methods and apparatus are provided for performing an expedited shoe test using an expandable casing portion as an annular fluid barrier. Further provided are methods and apparatus for successfully recovering from a failed expansion so that a shoe test can be completed without replacement of the expandable casing portion.

Additionally, methods and apparatus are provided to drill a wellbore and form an annular fluid barrier in a single trip.
