ABSTRACT:
A sealing system for the interspace in the transition region between two well pipes of different diameters, and a mounting tool for producing the sealing connection. The mounting tool is lowered via a drilling string through a larger diameter pipe and, with a sealing system, is placed on a holding docket on the upper end of a lower, smaller diameter, pipe. A rotation exerted on the mounting tool via the drilling string; causes the sealing system to be fixed to the lower pipe. Via the drilling string, the mounting tool is pressed vertically downwards against a sealing ring of the sealing system which, as a result, bears in a sealing manner against the inner wall of the upper pipe of larger diameter. This sealing position is fixed by rotating the mounting tool in one direction and by rotating the mounting tool in the other direction.
