Abstract

A well bridge plug assembly includes a sub body to be positioned in a well, the sub body including an internal fluid pathway extending from a downhole end of the sub body to an uphole end of the sub body. The sub body flows well fluid through the internal fluid pathway in an uphole direction from the downhole end toward the uphole end. A plug nose positioned at the downhole end of the sub body includes an aperture fluidly connected to the internal fluid pathway of the sub body. A flapper element in the internal fluid pathway moves between an open position and a closed position to selectively seal the internal fluid pathway from fluid flow, and a sealing element circumscribing a portion of the sub body selectively seals against a wall of a wellbore.
