Abstract

An apparatus and method for securing a tubular within another tubular (28) or borehole, creating a seal across an annulus in a well bore, and centralising or anchoring tubing within a wellbore. A sleeve (14) is arranged on a tubular body to create a chamber (16) therebetween. A port (18) provides fluid access through the body to the chamber. A torsion spring (20) is located within the chamber. When fluid is introduced into the chamber the sleeve is morphed to secure it to a well bore wall and the torsion spring unwinds to a relaxed state. The relaxed torsion spring supports the morphed sleeve against collapse.
