Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 26 Octobrer 2006
(26.10.2006)
What is claimed is:
1. (cancelled)
2. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the welibore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of sealing off fluidic materials having an operating pressure of up to about 2700 psi.
3. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of sealing off fluidic materials having an operating pressure of at least about 2500 psi.
4. - 7. (cancelled)
8. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a welibore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of withstanding a tensile load of up to about 180,000 Ibf.
9. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a welibore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of
28
withstanding a tensile load of at least about 160,000 Ibf.
10. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising; positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of withstanding a tensile load of at least about 120,000 Ibf.
11. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of withstanding a tensile load of at least about 100,000 Ibf.
12. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the welibore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of withstanding a tensile load of at least about 80,000 Ibf.
13. A method of coupling a wellbore casing to the interior surface of a wellbore, comprising: positioning a wellbore casing within the wellbore; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the wellbore casing into direct contact with the wellbore to form a fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore; wherein the fluid tight seal between the casing and the wellbore is capable of withstanding a tensile load of at least about 60,000 Ibf.
