Claim 21:
22. A method for setting an expandable metal wellbore anchor, comprising:
positioning a downhole conveyance at a desired location within a wellbore of a subterranean formation, the downhole conveyance having a pre-expansion expandable metal wellbore anchor coupled thereto, the pre-expansion expandable metal wellbore anchor including;
one or more conductive expandable members positioned on the downhole conveyance;
wherein the one or more conductive expandable members comprise a metal configured to expand in response to hydrolysis; and
wherein a combined volume of the one or more conductive expandable members is sufficient to expand to anchor one or more downhole tools having a combined weight of at least 11,000 Kg within the wellbore in response to the hydrolysis; and

subjecting the pre-expansion wellbore anchor to a wellbore fluid to expand the one or more expandable members into contact with the wellbore and thereby anchor the one or more downhole tool within the wellbore.
