Abstract

A method of lining a drilled bore comprises running a tubular (40) into a drilled bore (42) and then corrugating the tubular in the bore. The tubular may also be expanded in the bore. In other aspects of the invention the tubular is corrugated prior to running into the bore and may be rotated as it is run into the bore.
