Abstract

Disclosed are apparatus and methods for mechanically coupling two sections of radially expandable pipe providing a sand-controlling joint. Generally, a radially expandable coupling is disposed between and coupled with two sections of radially expandable pipe. The coupling includes a radially expandable sleeve having a first end and a second end, both ends having locking mechanism portions corresponding to pipe section ends. The coupling may include expansion slots or a sheath encasing the radially expandable sleeve. Methods are provided for coupling two sections of radially expandable pipe using a radially expandable coupling providing a sand-controlling joint between the pipe sections both before and after expansion.
