The end of an expandable liner hanger (120) provides a receptacle for another tubular liner (135).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[Received by the International Bureau on 28 July 2004 (28.07.2004) ; original claim 1 - 9, replaced by claims 1 - 18]
1. An apparatus, comprising: a subterranean formation defining a wellbore; a tubular wellbore easing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore; a first tubular liner positioned within the wellbore overlapping with and coupled to the wellbore casing; a second tubular liner positioned within the wellbore and overlapping with and coupled to the first tubular liner; wherein the second tubular liner is coupled to the first tubular liner by: machining an end of the first tubular liner; and inserting an end of the second tubular liner into the machined end of the first tubular liner; and wherein the first tubular liner is coupled to the wellbore casing by radially expanding and plastically deforming the first tubular liner into engagement with the wellbore casing.
2. (Canceled)
3. A method for extracting fluidic materials from a subterranean formation including a wellbore that traverses the formation and a wcllbore casing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore, comprising: coupling an end of a tubular liner to an end of the wellbore casing; machining an end of the tubular liner; inserting an end of another tubular liner into the machined end of the tubular liner; sealing the interface between the other tubular liner and the wellbore casing; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the tubular liner into engagement with the wellbore casing.
4. (Canceled)
5. A system for extracting fluidic materials from a subterranean formation including a wellbore that traverses the formation and a wcllbore casing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore, comprising: means for coupling an end of a tubular liner to art end of the wellbore casing; means for machining an end of the tubular liner; means for inserting an end of another tubular liner into the machined end of the tubular liner; means for sealing the interface between the other tubular liner and the wellbore casing; and means for radially expanding and plastically deforming the tubular liner into engagement with 11 the wellbore casing.
6. (Canceled)
7. ϊπ an apparatus comprising a subterranean formation defining a wellbore that includes a wellbore casing positioned within and coupled to the wellbore and a tubular liner coupled to an end of the wellbore casing, a method of conveying fluidic materials to and from the tubular liner, comprising: radially expanding and plastically defoi ing the tubular liner into engagement with the wellbore casing; machining the end of the tubular liner; inserting and supporting an end of another tubular liner in the machined end of the tubular liner; and conveying fluidic materials to and from the tubular liner using the other tubular liner.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the other end of the tubular liner extends through the wellbore casing.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: fluidicly sealing the interface between the other end of the tubular liner and the wellbore casing.
10. A method for creating a downhole seal between a first tubular and a second tubular, the first and second tubulars each having a top end and a bottom end, comprising: positioning the first tubular at a selected depth within the wellbore; expanding the inner diameter of the top end of the first tubular, running the second tubular into the wellbore; and mating the bottom end of the second tabular into the top end of the first tubular, the bottom end of the second tubular being configured to sealingly land into the expanded inner diameter of the first tubular, thereby creating a fluid seal between the first and second tubulars.
11 , The method for creating a downhole seal between a first tubular and a second tubular of claim
10, wherein the outer surface of the bottom end of the second tabular has a sealing element for facilitating the fluid seal between the first and second tubulars.
12. The method for creating a downhole seal between a First tubular and a second tubular of claim
11, wherein expanding the inner diameter of the top end of the first tubular is accomplished by applying a radial force to the inner surface of the first tubular so as to radially expand the inner 12 surface of the first tabular from a first diameter to a second diameter along a selected length at the top end of the first tubular, thereby forming a polished bore receptacle.
13. The method for creating a downhole seal between a first tubular and a second tubular of claim
12, wherein the radial force applied to the first tubular is applied by forcing a swaged cone a distance into the top end of the first tabular, the swaged cone having a diameter at its lower end that is smaller than the diameter at the widest point of the swaged cone and that is also smaller than the inner diameter of the first tubular.
14. The method for creating a downhole seal between a first tubular and a second tubular of claim
13, wherein the first tubular defines a string of casing; the wellbore further comprises at least one upper string of casing set m the wellbore immediately above the first tubular, the upper string of casing also having a top end and a bottom end; the top end of the first tubular is positioned in the wellbore such that the top end of the first tubular overlaps with the bottom end of the upper string of casing; and the second tabular defines a string of production tubing.
15. The method for creating a downhole seal between a first tubular and a second tubular of claim
14, further comprising the step of removing the swaged cone from the wellbore after the polished bore receptacle has been created.
16. A method for creating a polished bore receptacle at the upper end of a string of casing comprising: positioning the string of casing at a selected depth within a wellbore; running a swaged cone into the wellbore at the lower end of a working string, the swaged cone having a diameter at its lower end that is smaller than the diameter at the widest point of the swaged cone and that is also smaller than the inner diameter of the string of casing; forcing the swaged cone downward into the upper end of the string of casing along a desired distance, thereby expanding the inner surface of the upper end of the string of casing from a first diameter to a second diameter such that the second diameter is dimensioned to sealingly receive a lower end of a string of production tubing; removing the swaged cone from the wellbore; running the string of production tubing into the wellbore after the cone has been removed; and landing the bottom end of the string of production tubing into the expanded top end of the string of casing, the bottom end of the string of production tubing being configured to sealingly land into the 13 expanded inner diameter of the string of casing, thereby creating a fluid seal between the string of casing and the string of production tubing.
17. The method for creating a polished bore receptacle at the upper end of a string of casing of claim
16, wherein the lower end of the string of production tubing has a sealing element around an outer surface for facilitating the fluid seal between the expanded inner surface of the upper end of the string of casing, and the lower end of the string of production tubing.
18. The method for creating a polished bore receptacle at the upper end of a string of casing of claim
17, wherein the sealing element comprises a plurality of elastomeric rings circumferentially disposed about the outer surface of the lower end of the production tubing.
