Abstract (en)

An anchor system (10) for anchoring an expandable tubular in a borehole is proposed, which has one or more anchor members ( 1,1') that at a fixed end (40) thereof are secured to the expandable tubular with a securing system (50) that uses a tongue-and-groove connection (9). The tongue-and-groove connection makes use of an interlocking profile between one or more tongues (6) configured as ridges protruding outward from one surface and one or more grooves (7) formed as recesses in a mating surface. One groove, which may be formed by a recess in the outer surface of the cylindrical wall, receives a tongue which may be formed by a ridge on an engagement surface of the anchor members (facing toward the outer surface of the expandable tubular). The tongue and groove are thus interlocked, and prevent sliding movement of the fixed end of the anchor member relative to the expandable tubular (20).
