Abstract
Apparatus for sealing a perforated liner to a well casing. A cylindrical liner having a sleeve thereabout is associated with a deforming tool which is telescoped thereon and extends to the sleeve. A portion of the sleeve is spaced from the cylindrical liner to receive the deforming tool. A pressure fluidizing solid is located within the sleeve. An impacting system for a hydraulic deforming mechanism are employed to force the deforming tool against the pressure fluidizing solid which in turn deforms the sleeve outwardly against a well casing.

An adapter for a well casing, comprising
- a cylindrical liner;
- a sleeve concentrically fixed to and outwardly of said cylindrical liner, said sleeve including a first, body portion affixed to said cylindrical liner and a second, deformable portion displaced outwardly from said cylindrical liner and extending axially from said first, body portion;
- a pressure fluidizing solid between said cylindrical liner and said second, deformable portion adjacent said first, body portion.
A adapter for a well casing, comprising
- a cylindrical liner;
- a sleeve concentrically fixed to and outwardly of said cylindrical liner, said sleeve including a first, body portion affixed to said cylindrical liner and a second, deformable portion displaced outwardly from said cylindrical liner and extending axially from said first, body portion for a first distance;
- a solid between said cylindrical liner and said second, deformable portion adjacent said first, body portion, said solid extending from said first, body portion less than said first distance, said solid becoming fluid under pressure;
- a deforming tool having a cylindrical body telescoping over said cylindrical liner and a cylindrical ram extending axially from said cylindrical body, said cylindrical ram extending in close fit between said cylindrical liner and said second, deformable portion.
