Abstract

A method for manufacturing the expandable tubular comprises forming a plurality of corrugated portions on the expandable tubular and separating adjacent corrugated portions by an uncorrugated portion. Thereafter, the expandable tubular is reformed to an uniform outer diameter. The expandable tubular may be used to complete a wellbore.

Claims (35)

1. A method for manufacturing an expandable tubular, comprising:
forming a plurality of corrugated portions on the expandable tubular, and separating adjacent corrugated portions by an uncorrugated portion.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of corrugated portions are formed using a hydroforming process.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising reforming the expandable tubular to an uniform outer diameter.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the expandable tubular is drawn through a die.
5. The method of claim 3, further comprising heat treating the expandable tubular.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of corrugated portions are axially separated by the uncorrugated portions.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying a seal coating on an outer portion of the expandable tubular.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the outer portion comprises a corrugated portion.
9. The method of claim 1, further comprising forming an aperture in the uncorrugated portion.
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising selectively reforming one or more corrugated portions.
11. The method of claim 1, further comprising reducing an outer diameter of the expandable tubular after forming the corrugated portions.
12. The method of claim 1, further comprising forming an aperture in the uncorrugated portion.
13. The method of claim 1, further comprising surrounding the aperture with a filter medium.
14. The method of claim 1, further comprising surrounding the aperture with a shroud.
15. A method of completing a well, comprising:
providing a unitary structure having a plurality of corrugated portions separated by an uncorrugated portion;
selectively reforming the plurality of corrugated portions using fluid pressure;
and expanding the uncorrugated portion using mechanical force.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein an expansion tool is used to expand the uncorrugated portion.
17. The method of claim 16, further comprising stabilizing the expansion tool during expansion.
18. The method of claim 17, wherein the expansion tool is stabilized by the uncorrugated portion.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the expansion tool comprises a guide for engaging the uncorrugated portion.
20. The method of claim 16, wherein the expansion tool comprises a rotary expander member.
21. The method of claim 16, wherein the expansion tool further comprises a swivel.
22. The method of claim 16, further comprising expanding the reformed corrugated portions.
23. The method of claim 15, further comprising providing an aperture in the uncorrugated portion.
24. The method of claim 23, further comprising surrounding the aperture with a filter medium.
25. The method claim 15, wherein the unitary structure comprises a single joint of tubular.
26. The method of claim 15, wherein the unitary structure comprises a continuous length of tubular.
27. A method of completing a well, comprising:
forming an expandable tubular, comprising:
forming a first corrugated portion; and forming a second corrugated portion, wherein the first and second corrugated portions are separated by an uncorrugated portion; and reforming the first and second corrugated portions to a diameter greater than the uncorrugated portion.
28. The method of claim 27, wherein the first and second corrugated portions are formed using a hydroforming process.
29. The method of claim 28, further comprising reforming the expanding tubular such the corrugated portions and the uncorrugated portion have substantially the same diameter.
30. The method of claim 27, further comprising heat treating the expandable tubular.
31. The method of claim 27, further comprising expanding the uncorrugated portion.
32. The method of claim 31, wherein the uncorrugated portion is expanded using mechanical force.
33. The method of claim 27, further comprising sealing off fluid communication through an annular area formed between the tubular and the well.
34. An expandable tubular, comprising:
a unitary structure having a plurality of corrugated portions, wherein adjacent corrugated portions are separated by an uncorrugated portion.
35. The expandable tubular of claim 34, wherein the corrugated portions and the uncorrugated portion have substantially the same outer diameter.
