AbstractSince the spectacular arrival of solid expandable tubulars four years ago, customers have embraced this technology as a revolutionary well construction and production solution. Through innovative technical development and equipment reliability, solid expandable tubulars continue to grow in acceptance and use.Solid expandable tubulars have been used successfully to reach required total depth (TD) with adequate completion size, slim the well construction process, and overcome abnormal pressures encountered down hole while drilling. In addition, this technology has been used to rejuvenate wellbores for well deepening, casing reinforcement for stimulation, as a solution for corrosion problems, and to cover leaks and perforations. As a result, the overall cost of drilling and production operations has been reduced.This expansion process requires the successful integration of the following conditions and equipment:• casing capable of surviving in-situ reforming • friction reduction between the expansion cone and the casing • expandable flush joint connection
