thickness that includes the wall thickness at the second end 43 of the expandable tubular 40 and the thickness of the seal 47 disposed on the second end 43 may range between about 0 20 inches to about 0 35 inches fig3 is a sectional view of the expandable tubular 40 during expansion with the expansion assembly to begin expansion of the expandable tubular 40 the lifting device 60 may be actuated to direct the expansion tool 50 through the expandable tubular 40 in one embodiment a ball 79 may be seated on the seat 75 disposed within the work string 70 to close fluid communication between the work string 70 and the wellbore 10 fluid pressure may then be increased in the work string 70 to actuate the lifting device 60 the lifting device 60 may utilize the top surface 46 of the expandable tubular 40 as a reaction surface to move the expansion tool 50 relative to the expandable tubular 40 the lifting device 60 may engage the top surface 46 of the expandable tubular 40 lift the work string 70 and thereby lift the expansion tool 50 through the expandable tubular 40 and expand the expandable tubular 40 the expansion tool 50 expands the second end 43 of the expandable tubular 40 upon expansion the seals 47 and the anchor 49 engage the inner surface of the casing 20 the seals 47 sealingly engage the inner surface of the casing 20 below the defect 25 the anchor 49 engages the inner surface of the casing 20 and is operable to support the expandable tubular 40 in the wellbore 10 in one.
