A wellbore system includes a mudline suspension system arranged to provide a pressure rating sufficient for performing operations within a wellbore. The wellbore system includes a conductor pipe installed through a subaquatic surface location, and at least one casing string hung from an interior of the conductor pipe into the wellbore. A split casing string extends through the at least one casing string, includes a downhole liner portion hung from a lower end of the at least one casing string and an uphole tieback portion sealed to an interior surface of the lower liner portion. A wellhead supports the split casing string, wherein the upper tieback portion of the split casing string is hung from the wellhead.

A method includes running a eutectic alloy system downhole in a wellbore including a first casing string and a second casing string therein, activating a differential valve tool within the second casing to generate a primary annular seal within a casing-casing annulus defined between the first casing string and second casing string, pumping a flushing fluid into the casing-casing annulus above the primary annular seal via a first ported collar, melting a eutectic alloy blanket into a molten alloy within the flushing fluid in the casing-casing annulus via a heater, solidifying the molten alloy to establish a supplemental seal above the primary annular seal in the casing-casing annulus between the first casing string and second casing string, and pumping cement into the casing-casing annulus above the supplemental seal to form a cement column in the casing-casing annulus via a second ported collar.
