Abstract

Methods and apparatus for expanding a tubular with the aid of a compressive force are disclosed. A tubular is run into a wellbore. While the tubular is in a compressive state, the tubular is expanded into its desired form. The expanded tubular can be used for multiple downhole functions such as completing multilateral junctions in a wellbore, patching apertures in a wellbore and lining a wellbore.
