Abstract

A mono-diameter casing formed when a tubular liner (210) and an expansion cone (205) are positioned within a new section fo a wellbore (100) and the tubular liner (210) is overlapped with a pre-existing casing (115). A hardening fluid is injected into the section of the wellbore (100) below the level of the expansion cone (205) and into the annular region between the tubular liner (210) and the wellbore (100). The inner and outer regions of the tubular liner (210) are isolated. Then a non-hardening fluid is injected into the interior region of the tubular liner (210) to pressurize it below the expansion cone (205). The overlapping portion of the pre-existing casing (115) and the tubular liner (210) are then expanded using an expansion cone (205).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 23 August 2002 (23.08.02); new claims 51-55 added; remaining claims unchanged (1 page)]
51. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inside diameter of the portion of the tubular liner radially expanded by the first expansion cone is equal to the inside diameter of the portion of the preexisting wellbore casing that was not radially expanded by the second expansion cone.
52. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the inside diameter of the portion of the tubular liner radially expanded by the first expansion cone is equal to the inside diameter of the portion of the preexisting wellbore casing that was not radially expanded by the second expansion cone.
53. The method of claim 13, wherein the inside diameter of the portion of the tubular liner extruded off of the first expansion cone is equal to the inside diameter of the portion of the preexisting wellbore casing that was not radially expanded by the second expansion cone.
54. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the inside diameter of the portion of the tubular liner extruded off of the first expansion cone is equal to the inside diameter of the portion of the preexisting wellbore casing that was not radially expanded by the second expansion cone.
55. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the inside diameter of the portion of the tubular liner radially expanded by the first expansion cone is equal to the inside diameter of the portion of the preexisting wellbore casing that was not radially expanded by the second expansion cone.
