Abstract
Methods and systems provide for landing a tool downhole in a tool dropping operation. In situations where loss of fluid introduced into a tubular string occurs resulting in an interior volume of the tubular string becoming dry or gaseous, a plug is seated in the tubular string and the tubular string is filled with a liquid before the tool is lowered through the tubular string in the tool dropping operation. The tool travels safely through the liquid and lands at a profile above the plug. Thereafter, the plug may be unseated and caught lower within the tubular string to enable reestablishing flow from inside to outside of the tubular string.
