Definitions

  • a method of radially expanding a tubular element comprising inducing the wall of the tubular element to bend radially outward and in axially reverse direction so as to form an expanded tubular section extending around an unexpanded section of the tubular element, said wall having a bending stiffness and a resistance to stretching in circumferential direction, wherein said wall is provided with at least one of primary means for increasing the bending stiffness of the wall, and secondary means for reducing the resistance to stretching in circumferential direction of the wall.
  • bending the wall radially outward and in axially reverse direction refers to eversion of the tubular element whereby a U-shaped wall portion is formed of which one leg forms the unexpanded section and the other leg forms the expanded section.
  • the resulting bending radius of the wall depends on the bending stiffness of the wall and the resistance to stretching in circumferential direction of the wall. More specifically, the bending radius tends to increase with increasing bending stiffness and to decrease with increased resistance to stretching in circumferential direction.

  • said wall is induced to bend by moving the unexpanded tubular section in axial direction relative to the expanded tubular section.
  • the expanded tubular section can be held stationary while the unexpanded tubular section is moved in axial direction through the expanded section.
  • the tubular element extends into a wellbore formed in an earth formation whereby, for example, the expanded tubular section extends between the wellbore wall and the unexpanded section of the tubular element.
  • the expansion process is carried out in an effective manner if the expanded tubular section is kept substantially stationary in the wellbore and the unexpanded tubular section is moved in downward direction of the wellbore to induce said bending of the wall.
  • the expansion process suitably can be initiated by bending the wall of the tubular element at a lower end portion thereof.
  • the weight of the unexpanded tubular section is insufficient to induce movement of the bending zone, suitably a downward force is exerted to the unexpanded tubular section to move the unexpanded tubular section in downward direction of the wellbore.
  • the wellbore is being drilled with a drill string extending through the unexpanded tubular section.
  • the unexpanded tubular section and the drill string preferably are lowered simultaneously through the wellbore during drilling with the drill string.
