A method of operating a wellbore formed in an earth formation is disclosed. The wellbore is provided with a tubular element in which a wellbore device is to be arranged such that the wellbore device is sealed to the inner surface of the tubular element, and whereby an elongate member is to be extended through the tubular element for carrying out a wellbore operation. The method comprises extending the elongate member through the tubular element so as to carry out said wellbore operation, removing the elongate member from the tubular element, providing the wellbore device at the outer surface thereof with a swelleable seal susceptible of swelling upon contact with a selected fluid, and installing the wellbore device in the tubular element, and inducing the swelleable seal to swell by virtue of contact of the swelleable seal with the selected fluid.

L'invention concerne un procédé de réalisation d'un forage pratiqué dans une formation terrestre. Le forage est pourvu d'un élément tubulaire dans lequel le dispositif de forage doit être logé de telle manière que le dispositif de forage est scellé sur la surface intérieure de l'élément tubulaire, un élément allongé devant être passé au travers de l'élément tubulaire de manière à réaliser une opération de forage. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à passer l'élément allongé au travers de l'élément tubulaire de manière à réaliser l'opération de forage, à retirer l'élément allongé de l'élément tubulaire, à pourvoir le dispositif de forage sur sa surface extérieure d'un joint gonflable pouvant gonfler lorsqu'il est mis en contact avec un fluide sélectionné, à loger le dispositif de forage dans l'élément tubulaire, et à gonfler le joint gonflable par mise en contact du joint gonflable avec le fluide sélectionné.
