Excessive downhole temperatures, as well as some well bore restrictions, may limit the use of wireline bridge plugs. With careful planning, Shell Oil Company has successfully utilized sand-slurries for plugging back through tubing in deep, high temperature, geopressured, gas tests--without limitations. This has included isolation of water producing zones as well as temporary exclusion of lower intervals that did not warrant additional stimulation expense.
