Abstract

A method for creating a seal between two tubulars in a wellbore is provided.
In one aspect, the method allows for the top end of a first tubular (106) to be sealingly mated to the bottom end of a second tubular (125). According to the present invention, the first tubular is positioned at a selected depth within the wellbore (100). An expander tool (110) is then run into the wellbore, and the top end of the first tubular (106u) is expanded along a desired length. The inner surface of the top end is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter which will mate with the lower end of the second tubular. The expander tool is removed, and the second tubular (125) is run into the wellbore. The bottom end of the second tubular is then sealingly mated with the top end of the first tubular.
