Abstract: A method of lining a drilled bore comprises running an expandable first tubular (18) into a bore and locating part portion of the first tubular in an unlined section of the bore and another portion of the first tubular (14) overlapping a portion of an existing second tubular. The first tubular is secured (24) relative to the second tubular while retaining the provision of fluid outlets to permit displacement of fluid from an annulus between the first tubular and the bore wall. An expansion device (23) is then run through the first tubular to expand the first tubular to a larger diameter. Cement is then circulated into the annulus between the expanded first tubular and the bore wall. The fluid outlets are then closed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shaping pipes, tubes, liners, or casing at downhole locations in wells. Use is made of rollers bearing radially outwards against the inside wall of the pipe (etc.), the rollers being rolled around the pipe to cause outward plastic deformation which expands and shapes the pipe to a desired profile. Where one pipe is inside another, the two pipes can be joined without separate components (except optional seals). Landing nipples and liner hangers can be formed in situ. Valves can be deployed to a selected downhole location and there sealed to the casing or liner without separate packers. Casing can be deployed downhole in reduced-diameter lengths and then expanded to case a well without requiring larger diameter bores and casing further uphole. The invention enables simplified downhole working, and enables a well to be drilled and produced with the minimum downhole bore throughout its depth, obviating the need for large bores. When expanding lengths of casing, the casing does not need to be anchored or made pressure-tight. The profiling/expansion tools of the invention can be deployed downhole on coiled tubing, and operated without high tensile loads on the coiled tubing.

Abstract: A method of providing a downhole seal in a wellbore having a lined portion is provided. A tubular having a polished bore portion and an expandable portion is run into the wellbore and suspended at a selected depth within the wellbore, such that at least the expandable portion of the tubular is in an overlapping relationship with the lined portion of the wellbore. The expandable portion of the first tubular is expanded into frictional engagement with the lined portion of the wellbore.

Abstract: A method of installing a liner in a drilled bore below a section of bore previously lined with casing comprises the steps of: running a length of liner into the bore such that at least an upper end of the liner i s positioned in overlapping relation with at least a lower end of the casing; and plastically deforming a portion of the liner such that an extern al face of the portion forms an interference fit with an internal face of a portion of the casing. The interference fit preferably provides bo th hanging support for the liner and a fluid-tight seal between the liner and casing.

Abstract: A method includes running the tubular body into the wellbore, the tubular body having a deformed portion. The deformed portion is reformed, using a cone expander or fluid pressure, and a two-position expander is placed in the reformed portion. The expander is shifted to a second, larger diameter position and the reformed portion is expanded by urging the expander therethrough. In this manner a monobore well may be formed.

Abstract: An expansion apparatus for expanding a portion of a tubular comprises at least two expansion members adapted for selective deployment against a wall of a tubular. The expansion apparatus may be controlled to select a first expansion member to be deployed and the apparatus operated to expand a section of the tubular. The deployed expansion member may then be inactivated or retracted, such that the expansion member is no longer deployed against the wall of the tubular or is otherwise rendered inoperative, and a second expansion member can then be deployed and a further section of the tubular expanded.
