  • Interposed joint sealing layer method of forming a wellbore casing
    Patent number: 7424918
    Abstract: A method of forming a wellbore casing within a borehole that traverses a subterranean formation, is provided by assembling a tubular liner by coupling a multi-layer tubular insert assembly to a threaded portion of a first tubular member, and coupling a threaded portion of a second tubular member to the threaded portion of the first tubular member and the multi-layer tubular insert. The tubular liner assembly is positioned within the borehole; and the tubular liner assembly within the borehole is radially expanded and plastically deformed. The multi-layer tubular insert includes a first tubular insert having a first modulus of elasticity; and a second tubular insert coupled to the first tubular insert having a second modulus of elasticity. The first modulus of elasticity is different from the second modulus of elasticity.

  • Radial Expansion System
    Publication number: 20080000645
    Abstract: A method of radially expanding and plastically deforming tubular members (10, 100, 200) is provided that includes selecting a tubular member, determining an anisotropy value and a strain hardening value for the selected tubular member (10, 100, 200), multiplying the anisotropy value times the strain hardening value to generate an expandability value for the selected tubular member (10, 100, 200); and if the expandability value is greater than 0.12, then radially expanding and plastically deforming the selected tubular member (10, 100, 200).
