Patent ID: 7424918

Claim:
A method of forming a wellbore casing within a borehole that traverses a subterranean formation, comprising: assembling a tubular liner by a process comprising: coupling a multi-layer tubular insert assembly to a threaded portion of a first tubular member; and coupling a threaded portion of a second tubular member to the threaded portion of the first tubular member and the multi-layer tubular insert; positioning the tubular liner assembly within the borehole; and radially expanding and plastically deforming the tubular liner assembly within the borehole; wherein the multilayer tubular insert comprises: a first tubular insert having a first modulus of elasticity; and a second tubular insert coupled to the first tubular insert having a second modulus of elasticity; wherein the first modulus of elasticity is different from the second modulus of elasticity.
