    摘要: The invention relates to apparatus and methods for radially expanding tubulars, such as tubing, casing and sand-control screen assemblies in a subterranean oil or gas well, and more specifically, to a variable diameter expansion tool for expanding downhole tubulars to varying diameters. The apparatus and methods serve to radially expand a tubular, such as pipe, tubing, screen or screen assembly, deployed in a subterranean well by moving an expansion tool axially through the well. An automatically infinitely variable-diameter expansion cone tool 10 is provided. A variable-diameter cone 56 is provided, movable between an expanded position and a retracted position. The cone 56 is enlarged to its expanded position and advanced through expandable components until a restriction is reached. At the restriction, the variable-diameter cone 56 automatically retracts enough to allow the tool to continue advancing through the wellbore. When the restriction is past, the variable-diameter cone 56 enlarges again to its expanded position.

    摘要: Apparatus for completing a subterranean wellbore and associated methods of using provide relatively uncomplicated and convenient access to a parent wellbore lower portion from a lateral wellbore liner which extends into the parent wellbore above the lower portion. The apparatus is utilized to form an opening through a portion of the liner which overlies the parent wellbore lower portion, thereby providing access thereto. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a milling guide having an axially extending guide profile formed therein, which guide profile is capable of directing a mill toward the liner portion to form the opening. The milling guide is capable of being anchored in the liner to thereby fix its axial and rotational alignment relative to the liner portion.

    摘要: A tubular anchor assembly (22) coaxially and releasably securable in a subterranean well bore casing, comprising: a tubular inner mandrel (88); a tubular slip carrier (98,132) coaxially circumscribing the inner mandrel in a radially outwardly spaced relationship therewith, the slip carrier having a circumferentially spaced series of side wall slip windows (100, 102, 136, 138) therein and outwardly bounding an annular space between the inner mandrel and the slip carrier; a circumferentially spaced series of slips (40,42) carried in the annular space for radial movement through the slip windows between retracted and extended positions; and a circumferentially spaced series of arcuate, elongated spring members (108) disposed in the annular space and resiliently biasing the slips toward their retracted positions, the spring members being interdigitated with the slips and having longitudinally central portions secured to the slip carrier, with each slip being engaged by end portions of two spring members on circumferentially opposite sides thereof.

    摘要: A method of completing a subterranean well to provide access to a portion (38) of a parent wellbore (12) which has been closed off by a lateral wellbore liner (28). The method includes the steps of depositing cement (50) in the lateral wellbore liner (28) and then drilling through the cement (50) and liner (28). The cement (50) provides lateral support for a cutting tool (56) while it is milling through the liner (28).
