Abstract
A technique for deploying expandables is provided. The technique comprises actuating an expansion tool such that the expansion tool imparts an outwardly directed radial force on an expandable tubular. More specifically, the expansion tool imparts radial expansion forces against an interior surface of the tubular thereby allowing the tubular to be deployed in a wellbore environment.
