Zusammenfassung:Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an expandable tubular connection and a method for connecting expandable tubular members to each other. The expandable tubular member includes a plurality of curved leaves, in which each of the leaves has a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface. The leaves are then attached to each other using and through attachment points such that the leaves are formed about an axis of the expandable tubular member. Connection members are then disposed upon the plurality of leaves. Each of the connection members is disposed upon one or more leaves, in which the connection members may be disposed upon or towards an end of the leaves and/or may be disposed upon the inner and outer surfaces of the leaves. The connection members from one expandable tubular member are configured to engage the connection members of another expandable tubular member.
