摘要:
The invention provides a system for lining a wellbore, and a method for using said system. The system comprises: a drill string (20) for drilling the wellbore; an expandable tubular element (4) enclosing the drill string, wherein a lower end portion of a wall of the expandable tubular element is bent (14) radially outward and in axially reverse direction to define an expanded tubular section (10) extending around an unexpanded tubular section (8); a pushing device (50) for pushing the unexpanded section into the expanded tubular section; a blow-out preventer (302) for closing off the wellbore in case of an emergency. Herein the blow-out preventer encloses the unexpanded tubular section and comprises a cutter (320) for cutting the unexpanded tubular section and at least one closure device (324) for closing the wellbore.

A system for drilling a wellbore into an earth formation comprises an expandable tubular element extending into the wellbore, wherein a lower end portion of the wall of the tubular element extends radially outward and in an axially reverse direction so as to define an expanded tubular section extending around a remaining tubular section of the tubular element. The expanded tubular section is extendable by downward movement of the remaining tubular section relative to the expanded tubular section whereby said lower end portion of the wall bends radially outward and in an axially reverse direction. A drill string extends through the remaining tubular section into the wellbore, such that a space is formed between the drill string and the remaining tubular section, and the system further comprises sealing means arranged to seal said space from an open-hole lower section of the wellbore.

A method for radially expanding a tubular element in a wellbore formed in an earth formation comprises arranging the tubular element in the wellbore such that a lower end portion of the wall of the tubular element extends radially outward and in an axially reverse direction so as to define an expanded tubular section extending around a remaining tubular section of the tubular element, and axially extending the expanded tubular section by moving the remaining tubular section a selected distance downward relative to the expanded tubular section so that said lower end portion of the wall bends radially outward and in an axially reverse direction. The remaining tubular section is axially extended at an upper end thereof with an extended tubular portion of a length at least equal to said distance of downward movement of the remaining tubular section.

A wellbore system comprises a wellbore extending into an earth formation, the wellbore containing a body of fluid, and an expandable tubular element arranged in the wellbore, wherein a lower end portion of the wall of the tubular element is bent radially outward and in an axially reverse direction so as to define an expanded tubular section extending around a remaining tubular section of the tubular element. The expanded tubular section is axially extendable by downward movement of the remaining tubular section relative to the expanded tubular section. The body of fluid is located in the remaining tubular section, and a fluid conduit extends from the body of fluid to a location above the remaining tubular section, the fluid conduit being movable in upward direction relative to the remaining tubular section.

A method of radially expanding a tubular element extending into a wellbore formed in an earth formation comprises inducing the wall of the tubular element to bend radially outward and in an axially reverse direction so as to form an expanded tubular section extending around a remaining tubular section of the tubular element, wherein the bending occurs in a bending zone of the tubular element. The bending zone is induced to move in an axial direction relative to the remaining tubular section to increase the length of the expanded tubular section. An annular space is formed between the expanded tubular section and the remaining tubular section, wherein the method further comprises arranging a seal element in the annular space to define an upper portion and a lower portion of the annular space, the upper and lower portions being sealed from each other by the seal element.

A system and method for radially expanding a tubular element. The method comprises the steps of bending the tubular element radially outward and in axially reverse direction so as to form an expanded tubular section extending around an unexpanded tubular section, wherein bending occurs in a bending zone; and increasing the length of the expanded tubular section by inducing the respective bending zones of the layers to move in axial direction relative to the unexpanded tubular section. The tubular element comprises a first layer, a second layer extending around the first layer, and a third layer interconnecting the first layer and the second layer and allowing the first layer and the second layer to shift relative to each other near the bending zone.

Device and method for drilling into geological formations. The device comprises: a rotatable body; drilling cutters arranged on an axial end surface of the rotatable body; a percussion part, which is parallel to the rotating axis reciprocatable arranged on said body; and percussion cutters arranged on an axial end surface of the percussion part. The method comprises the steps of: bringing a percussion part with a percussive movement in contact with the formation in order to crack at least a part of the formation, and scraping the cracked parts of the formation with a drilling part.
