Abstract
In completing a well bore in a underground formation, the well bore being closed off by a closing structure for blocking flow of pressurized fluid through the well bore, a substantially tubular element having a tube wall surrounding an axial bore is passed through the closing structure. The tube wall having passed the closing structure is processed along at least a portion of its axial dimension from a first condition into a second, processed condition. In the first condition, the tube wall is substantially impermeable in radial direction to pressurized fluid for precluding a flow of pressurized fluid from passing the penetrated closing structure. In the second condition the tube wall is radially permeable to pressurized fluid along at least a processed portion of its axial dimension. A tubular element to be used in such an application is described as well.
