Abstract: The present invention relates methods and apparatus for lining a wellbore. In one aspect, a drilling assembly having an earth removal member and a wellbore lining conduit is manipulated to advance into the earth. The drilling assembly includes a first fluid flow path and a second fluid flow path. Fluid is flowed through the first fluid flow path, and at least a portion of which may return through the second fluid flow path. In one embodiment, the drilling assembly is provided with a third fluid flow path. After drilling has been completed, wellbore lining conduit may be cemented in the wellbore.

Abstract: A tubing expander has radially extendable expansion members that are axially (longitudinally) spaced around its body in rows. The rows' expansion members can be deployed at different times. The tubing to be expanded has a weakened section or scribe which will break, snap or separate on expansion. Slips and sealing members between the expandable tubular and a wellbore casing allow the apparatus to act as a casing hanger and the casing above the weakened point can be removed; for example it can be lifted from the well using the tubing expander (figure 13D). The expandable tubular (315) can have a closed end (315B) such that it acts as a plug and allows two parts (305, 310) of a wellbore to be separated. The plug is removed by expanding the tubular at the weak point such that it breaks. Alternatively the weak points or scribes can be within the closed end of the plug so that it opens on expansion (figures 15A-I). Another embodiment includes temporarily covering or straddling a section of wellbore (figure 13).

Abstract: Utførelsesformer av den foreliggende oppfinnelsen tilveiebringer en anordning og en metode for utvidelse av en rørform. I et aspekt, vil utførelsesformer av den nåværende oppfinnelsen tilveiebringe ekspanderverktøy som har minst to ekspanderledd som er radialt forlengbare fra ekspanderverktøyet i kontakt med en omliggende innvendig overflate på rørformen, hvor minst to ekspanderledd er radialt forlengbare til forskjellige tider og aksialt plassert etter radial utvidelse, i en annen aspekt, inkluderer utførelsesformene en metode for isolering av den første delen på et borehull fra den andre delen på et borehull som består av å finne en utvidbar rørform innenfor borehullet mellom den første og den andre delen, hvor den utvidbare rørformen består av en svekket del, og isolerer den første delen fra den andre delen på borehullet, og utvider den utvidbare rørformen nærmest den svekkede delen for å kunne dele den utvidbare rørformen.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method fo r expanding a tubular. In one aspect, embodiments of the prevent invention provide an expander tool having at least two expansion members radially extendable from the expander tool into contact with a surrounding inside surface of the tubular, the at least two expansion members radially extendable at different times and axially spaced after radially extending. In another aspect, embodiments include a method for isolating a first portion of a wellbore from a second portion of a wellbore comprising locating an expandable tubular within the wellbore between the first and second portions , the expandable tubular having a weakened portion therein, isolating the first portion from the second portion of the wellbore, and expanding the expandable tubular proximate to the weakened portion to sever the expandable tubular.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liner hanger and a method of hanging a liner in a wellbore. In one aspect, a process for setting a liner in a wellbore is provided in which a tubular having a slip formed on an outer diameter of the tubular at a first location and a preformed bypass for circulating a fluid disposed at a second location is set and expanded into substantial contact with an inner diameter of the wellbore, a casing, or another liner. In another aspect, a process for setting a liner in a wellbore is provided in which a tubular having a slip formed on an outer diameter of the tubular at a first location is placed in the wellbore, a bypass for circulating a fluid is formed downhole, the liner is set and expanded into substantial contact with an inner diameter of the wellbore, a casing, or another liner. In yet another aspect, a process for creating a liner top seal is provided in which the liner is set by expanding a protrusion in an upper end of a tubular into substantial contact with an inner diameter of the wellbore, and the upper end of the tubular is then reformed and expanded into substantial contact with the inner diameter of the wellbore.

Abstract: A tool for expanding tubing has reinforced pads 216 mounted on the outer surface of radially extendable pistons 220. The pads do not rotate and may be secured by locating members 232 inserted through brackets 230 into recesses 213 in the pad. The pads may be tapered and they incorporate reinforcing members such as discs 214 or strips (figure 7) of tungsten carbide or ceramic or are coated in a hard facing. The profile of the pad and piston combination is minimised in order to maximise the diameter of the internal bore (215, figure 10) of the tool and the pistons are disposed in recesses in the tool in communication with the main bore (figure 10). Fluid pressure in the bore is increased in order to extend the pistons and so expand surrounding tubing (figure 13).
