Casing deformation and control for inclusion propagation in earth formations. A method of forming at least one inclusion in a subterranean formation includes the steps of: installing a liner within a casing section in a wellbore intersecting the formation; and expanding the liner and the casing section, thereby applying an increased compressive stress to the formation. Another method of forming the inclusion includes the steps of: installing an expansion control device on a casing section, the device including at least one latch member; expanding the casing section radially outward in a wellbore, the expanding step including widening at least one opening in a sidewall of the casing section, and displacing the latch member in one direction; and preventing a narrowing of the opening after the expanding step, the latch member resisting displacement thereof in an opposite direction.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming at least one inclusion in a subterranean formation, the method comprising the steps of: installing at least one liner within at least one casing section in a wellbore intersecting the formation; expanding the liner and the casing section, thereby applying an increased compressive stress to the formation; and perforating the casing section along at least one desired line of intersection between the inclusion and the casing section. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the perforating step weakens the casing section along the line of intersection, and wherein the expanding step further comprises parting the casing section along the weakened line of intersection. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the liner comprises a non-continuous sidewall, and further comprising the step of producing fluid from the formation to an interior of the casing section via the liner sidewall. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the liner comprises a non-continuous sidewall, and further comprising the step of injecting fluid into the formation from an interior of the casing section via the liner sidewall to thereby propagate the inclusion into the formation. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the expanding step further comprises widening at least one opening in the casing section, and further comprising the step of the liner preventing narrowing of the opening after the expanding step. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the liner outwardly supporting the expanded casing section after the expanding step. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of the liner maintaining the compressive stress in the formation after the expanding step. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of gravel packing an annulus formed between the liner and a well screen. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the casing section is a portion of a pre-existing casing string, whereby the casing section is free of any expansion control device prior to installation of the liner. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of injecting a flexible cement external to the casing section prior to the expanding step. 11. A method of forming at least one inclusion in a subterranean formation, the method comprising the steps of: installing at least one liner within at least one casing section in a wellbore intersecting the formation, the liner comprising a non-continuous sidewall; expanding the liner and the casing section, thereby applying an increased compressive stress to the formation; and injecting fluid into the formation from an interior of the casing section via the liner sidewall to thereby propagate the inclusion into the formation. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of perforating the casing section along at least one desired line of intersection between the inclusion and the casing section. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the perforating step weakens the casing section along the line of intersection, and wherein the expanding step further comprises parting the casing section along the weakened line of intersection. 14. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of producing fluid from the formation to an interior of the casing section via the liner sidewall. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the expanding step further comprises widening at least one opening in the casing section, and further comprising the step of the liner preventing narrowing of the opening after the expanding step. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of the liner outwardly supporting the expanded casing section after the expanding step. 17. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of the liner maintaining the compressive stress in the formation after the expanding step. 18. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of gravel packing an annulus formed between the liner and a well screen. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein the casing section is a portion of a pre-existing casing string, whereby the casing section is free of any expansion control device prior to installation of the liner. 20. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of injecting a flexible cement external to the casing section prior to the expanding step.
