Open hole expandable junction

摘要

A method for lining an open hole section (105) of a wellbore includes lowering a tubular member (200) through a cased section (120) of the wellbore, expanding the tubular member (200) in an open hole section (105) of the wellbore, thereby anchoring (220) the tubular member in the wellbore, forming a window (410) in a sidewall of the tubular member, and drilling a lateral wellbore (405) through the window.
