  • Patent number: 8925630
    Abstract: A down hole well tool for installing a casing or liner in a well bore includes a tool unit and an expansion module for expansion of the casing or liner. The expansion module has at least two sets of rolling means arranged along an axial direction of the expansion module, and each set of rolling means is provided at an outer circumference of the expansion module. The diameter of the rolling means decreases at least between the two sets along the expansion module, providing the expansion module with a decreasing diameter in an axial down hole direction of the well bore.

  • Patent number: 8925629
    Abstract: A down hole well tool (3) for installing a casing/liner (1) in a well bore (2), wherein the down hole well tool comprises a tool unit comprising at least one first fluid conduit (6) and a return fluid conduit (5) in use forming an annulus between the tool unit and the casing/liner. The tool unit further comprises at least one piston (7a, 7b) in the annulus dividing the annulus into annulus spaces (8a, 8b, 8c). At least two expansion modules (9a, 9b) for the expansion of the casing are positioned displaced in the axial direction of the casing. The expansion modules are arranged to be moved relative to each other in the axial direction of the casing.

  • Publication number: 20120103596
    Abstract: A down hole well tool (3) for installing a casing or liner (1) in a well bore, wherein the down hole well tool comprises a tool unit comprising at least one first fluid conduit (4) and a return fluid conduit (15) in use forming an annulus between the tool unit and the casing or liner (1). The tool unit further comprises at least one piston (5) in the annulus dividing the annulus into annulus spaces, wherein an expansion module for the expansion of the casing or liner is provided in the annulus. The expansion module has at least two sets of rolling means (9a, 9b, 9c) arranged along the axial direction of the expansion module. Each set of rolling means is provided at an outer circumference of the expansion module and the diameter of the rolling means decreases along the expansion module in the axial down hole direction of the well bore providing the expansion module with an decreasing diameter.

  • Publication number: 20070169943
    Abstract: A method and a device for establishing an underground borehole (10) and setting a casing (6) in the borehole (10), wherein the running tool (1) including a drilling tool (14), an expandable casing (6), an expansion tool (32) and a packer (30) which is arranged to seal against the wall of the borehole (10), is placed at the bottom of the borehole (10), whereupon the borehole (10) is drilled to the necessary length in order then to set the expandable casing (6), and in subsequent operations the casing is reinforced and a completion string is run, having built-in cables for downhole control and monitoring.
