A well abandonment tool comprising an elongate housing extending between top and bottom ends locatable within a wellbore having a longitudinal pumping cylindrical bore with a pumping piston therein. The apparatus further comprises a wellbore seal located around the housing operable to engage upon the wellbore and to be expanded into contact therewith upon an upward motion of the housing so as to seal an annulus between the housing and the wellbore and a bridge plug engagement connector adapted to secure a bridge plug thereto at a position below the bottom end of the housing. The pumping piston is suspended from a wireline wherein longitudinal movement of the pumping piston discharges a fluid into a bridge plug activation chamber having a movable cylinder adapted to draw the bridge plug engagement connector against the bottom end of the housing so as to expand the bridge plug into engagement with the wellbore.

Wireline well abandonment tool

An apparatus and method for preparing a casing of a subterranean well and injecting a sealing mixture therein. The apparatus comprises an elongate body extending between top and bottom ends connectable to a wireline at the top and having a plurality of nozzles extending therethrough proximate to the bottom. A plurality of scrapers within the body each have a first retracted position and a second radially extended position engageable with the casing. A cavity is operable to contain the sealing mixture and a piston is movable therein so to eject the sealing mixture through the nozzles. The method comprises positioning the body in the well at a location to be sealed, extending the scrapers to engage with the casing, displacing the body so to scrape against the casing and retracting the scrapers. The piston is displaced so to eject the sealing mixture through the nozzles.
