Patent ID: 8132627

Claim:
A tool for positioning in a well from a work string to radially expand a tubular after rotating the tubular to drill at least a portion of a well, comprising: a central tool mandrel with a fluid passageway therein; a tubular expander having a generally tapered outer surface for radially expanding the tubular as the expander is moved upward within the tubular; slips for securing the tool within the tubular; a downhole actuator for forcibly moving the tubular expander axially upward within the tubular, the downhole actuator generating an axially downward setting force on a setting sleeve surrounding the tool mandrel and connected to the work string to set the slips and generating an axially upward tensile force on the mandrel to radially expand the tubular; and a clutch for selective rotational engagement of the tool mandrel, the clutch when engaged transferring torque from the setting sleeve to the tool mandrel and to the bit to drill the at least a portion of the well.
