Morphing tubulars

1. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool for morphing a tubular downhole, the hydraulic fluid delivery tool comprising:

a substantially cylindrical body having an inner bore therethrough;

first and second seal assemblies arranged upon the cylindrical body at a pair of spaced apart locations in order to isolate an internal portion of a tubular between the seal assemblies at a desired location;

each seal assembly comprising an annular elastomer and an annular piston, the piston arranged to compress the elastomer to create a seal between the cylindrical body and the tubular;

a first fluid delivery line through a wall of the cylindrical body, the first fluid delivery line having at least one first input at a first end of the cylindrical body and at least two first outputs to deliver fluid at a first pressure to a first face of each piston so as to move the piston against the elastomer at each seal assembly;

a second fluid delivery line through a wall of the cylindrical body, the second fluid delivery line having at least one second input at a first end of the cylindrical body and at least one second output to an outer surface of the cylindrical body at the desired location to deliver fluid at a second pressure to perform a morph at the location; and

wherein the first pressure is greater than the second pressure and each piston includes a second face, the second face being exposed to the internal portion during compression of the elastomer so that fluid at the second pressure acts on the second face and assists in maintaining the seal.

2. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein each piston is located within a recess on the cylindrical body, each piston having an outer diameter being less than or equal to an outer diameter of the cylindrical body.

3. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein each piston moves laterally within the recess.

4. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein each elastomer is located within the recess on the cylindrical body, each elastomer having an initial outer diameter being less than or substantially equal to an outer diameter of the cylindrical body.

5. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein each elastomer has a back-up seal arranged on or around a portion of the elastomer.

6. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein each piston includes a third face, the third face being opposite the first face, and including a spring arranged to act upon the third face to return the piston to an initial position when the first pressure is bled-down.

7. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 1 wherein the hydraulic fluid delivery tool includes a pressure intensifier.

8. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 7 wherein a pressure distribution tool is located between the hydraulic fluid delivery tool and the pressure intensifier.

9. A hydraulic fluid delivery tool according to claim 8 wherein the pressure distribution tool takes in high pressure fluid from the pressure intensifier and provides a first output to deliver fluid at the first pressure and a second output to deliver fluid the second pressure.

10. A method of morphing a tubular downhole, comprising the steps:

(a) connecting a hydraulic fluid delivery tool, according to any one of claims 1 to 9 , on a string;

(b) positioning the hydraulic fluid delivery tool at a location in the tubular;

(c) delivering fluid at a first pressure to a first face of each piston so as to move the piston against the elastomer at each seal assembly;

(d) creating a pair of seals between the cylindrical body and the tubular;

(e) isolating an internal portion of the tubular between the seal assemblies at a desired location;

(f) delivering fluid at a second pressure to an outer surface of the cylindrical body at the desired location;

(g) morphing the tubular; and

(h) delivering the fluid at the second pressure to the second face of each piston to maintain the seal.

11. A method according to claim 10 wherein the method includes the step of moving the pistons laterally outwards from the location.

12. A method according to claim 10 wherein the elastomers are compressed to form the seals prior to the second pressure being delivered to the location.

13. A method according to claim 10 wherein the method includes the step of bleeding down the first pressure.

14. A method according to claim 10 wherein the method includes the step of morphing the tubular between the upper and lower seals.

15. A method according to claim 10 wherein the method includes the step of delivering the fluid at the second pressure through a port in the tubular so as to enter a chamber formed by a further tubular arranged as a sleeve on the tubular, and morphing the further tubular.
