Abstract:
A method of sealing a well includes selecting a preexisting fluid pathway between a production platform and a desired sealing location in the well to be sealed, determining, for the well to be sealed, a desired quantity of sealant having known flow qualities, to be delivered in fluid form to the well in the sealing region of the well, determining, based on the flow qualities of the sealant in fluid form and the flow qualities of the preexisting fluid pathway, the time needed to deliver the desired quantity of the sealant in fluid form to the sealing location in the well, determining, based on the time needed to deliver the desired quantity of the sealant in fluid form to the sealing location in the well, whether the sealant will maintain the fluid form, if necessary, change one or more qualities of the sealant so that the desired quantity of the sealant will reach the sealing location in the well while in the fluid form, and transport the quantity of sealant, in fluid form, through the preexisting fluid pathway between a production platform and the desired sealing location in the well to be sealed.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of sealing a well penetrating a formation and in fluid communication therewith through perforations in a tubular with a sealant at a desired sealing location in the well, comprising:\n selecting a fluid pathway extending between a production platform and a desired sealing location in the well to be sealed with the sealant; determining, for the well to be sealed, a desired quantity of sealant having known flow qualities, to be delivered in fluid form to the sealing location of the well; determining, based on the flow qualities of the sealant in fluid form, a time needed to deliver the desired quantity of the sealant in fluid form to the sealing location in the well; determining, based on the time required to deliver the desired quantity of the sealant in fluid form to the sealing location in the well, whether the sealant will maintain the fluid form until it reaches the sealing location using the fluid pathway; if necessary, changing one or more qualities of the sealant to a modified desired sealant composition so that the desired quantity of the modified sealant will reach the sealing location in the well while in the fluid form; and transporting one of the desired quantity of sealant or the modified sealant, in fluid form, through fluid pathway between the production platform and the desired sealing location in the well to be sealed.
