摘要:
A method of repairing a damaged portion of an underground pipeline positioned within a subterranean formation below the surface of the earth and having a flowbore. In some embodiments, the method includes inserting one or more pipe sections into the flowbore, the one or more pipe sections coupled and forming a throughpassage, positioning the one or more pipe sections within a damaged portion of the pipeline, disposing an expansion device within the throughpassage, and displacing the expansion device along the throughpassage, wherein the one or more pipe sections are radially expanded into engagement with at least the damaged portion of the pipeline.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for forming or repairing a wellbore casing, a pipeline, or a structural support. An expandable tubular member is radially expanded and plastically deformed by an expansion cone that is displaced by hydraulic pressure. Before or after the radial expansion of the expandable tubular member, a sliding sleeve valve within the apparatus permit a hardenable fluidic sealing material to be injected into an annulus between the expandable tubular member and a preexisting structure.

摘要:
An expandable tubular liner includes a first tube, a second tube, a mechanical coupling for coupling the first and second tubes, and an insert coupled to the mechanical coupling. The insert is capable of forming a metallurgical bond with at least one of the tubes when energy is injected into the insert.
摘要:
An apparatus for expanding a tubular member comprising a support member, an expansion device for radially expanding the tubular member movably coupled to the support member for longitudinal displacement relative to the support member, at least one pressure chamber defined by and positioned between the support member and expansion device, and one or more releasable supports coupled to the support member adapted to support the tubular member, wherein the releasable supports are positioned above the expansion device.
摘要:
A mono-diameter wellbore casing. The mono-diameter wellbore casing is formed by plastically deforming and radially expanding a first tubular member within a wellbore. A second tubular member is then plastically deformed and radially expanded in overlapping relation to the first tubular member. The second tubular member and the overlapping portion of the first tubular member are then radially expanded again.
