Welcome to the Expandable Technology Forum

The ETF covers both expanding solids and expanding screens. It is not a commercial forum; the presentations will be technical papers, not marketing presentations. Its aims are to:

To increase awareness of expandable tubular technology throughout the industry
To stimulate learning, technology transfer and knowledge sharing by discussion of case studies
To develop the market for expandable tubular products through discussion of products / applications
To agree industry common definitions and terminology

The ETF would really like professionals in the field to contribute to the forum and as members you are already entitled to:

Participation in the industry forum for promoting the growth of expandable tubular technology
Access to a network of industry experts in expandable technology through meetings, structured informal discussion, and member contact listings
Usage of the member section of the website, which includes knowledge and technology sharing material generated from the meetings.

It has been established since 2003 and aims to raise awareness, share knowledge and experience of applying expandable tubulars in upstream oil applications. This is achieved through regular technical workshops and the members area of this website

What are expandable tubulars?

Expandable technology is a system for increasing the diameter of the casing, liner or sand screens of an oil well by up to 20% after they have been run down-hole. This expansion is done through a cold working of the steel by a larger expansion tool.
This expansion reduces the telescoping effect that traditional casing plans have (large diameter at the top and small at the bottom). The advantage of this expansion is that a larger diameter well bore is possible at total well depth versus a standard casing string. This has benefits in deep drilling because wells can reach greater depths without a loss in final well bore diameter.
