Abstract:Solid expansion technology has brought a revolution for oil and gas drilling and production. The performance of the expandable tubular is determined by the strength of material and the dimensional accuracy of the tube. In this study, the expansion pressures of two expandable tubulars at an expansion ratio of 15.0% were measured by full-scale tests. A 3D finite-element-method model was developed using Abaqus to dynamically simulate the expansion process of solid expandable tubulars. The simulated expansion pres… Show more
