ABSTRACT:
A tubing coupling method is provided. In one aspect, the method comprises providing a length of expandable tubing and a length of larger diameter non-expanding tubing, connecting an end portion of the expandable tubing to an end portion of the non-expanding tubing, running the tubing into a bore, and expanding the expandable tubing. The expandable tubing may form part of an expandable well or sand screen, or may be an expandable bore liner.
