Abstract

A method of lining and drilling a bore (10) comprising mounting a first section of bore-lining tubing (20) on the lower end portion of a drill string (18); running the drill string and tubing into a bore having an unlined section and an existing tubing lined section; locating the first tubing section (20) in the unlined section: uncoupling the first tubing section (20) from the drill string (18); and drilling the bore beyond the first tubing section. The bore-lining tubing (20) may include an hanger section overlapping the existing tubing and may be expanded.
