    Abstract: The invention in one aspect provides an apparatus and method for forming a connection between an inner tubular and a caisson of an offshore structure. The apparatus comprises a mandrel, and a seal arrangement disposed on the mandrel and configured to create a seal between the mandrel and an inner surface of an inner tubular in which the apparatus is located. The seal arrangement comprises first and second cup seals, axially separated on the mandrel, and configured to define a substantially annular volume between the mandrel and the inner tubular in use. A pressure transmission path delivers a pressurised fluid to the annular volume, and the apparatus is configured to pressurise the annular volume and thereby expand the inner tubular in a radial direction and into contact with the caisson to form a connection between the inner tubular and the caisson.
