Abstract: A wellbore stimulation operation method includes conveying a downhole assembly into a wellbore a first time, the downhole assembly including a perforating gun and one or more friction-reducing subs operatively coupled to the perforating gun, axially aligning the perforating gun with a production zone penetrated by the wellbore, triggering operation of the perforating gun and thereby creating a plurality of perforations in the production zone, removing the downhole assembly from the wellbore and replacing the perforating gun with a plug, conveying the downhole assembly including the plug into the wellbore a second time, axially aligning the plug with a location downhole from the plurality of perforations, centralizing the plug within the wellbore with the one or more friction-reducing subs such that sealing elements included in the plug are not damaged while traversing the plurality of perforations, and deploying the plug within the wellbore downhole from the plurality of perforations.

Abstract: A method of sealing one or more leak paths includes positioning an isolation plug in a production tubing. The production tubing is disposed within a wellbore casing assembly, each extending into a subsurface. The wellbore casing assembly includes a production casing. A tubing/casing annulus is disposed between the production casing and the production tubing. The one or more leak paths are fluidly coupled to the production tubing and the tubing/casing annulus and the isolation plug is positioned at a depth location below the one or more leak paths. The method also includes perforating the production tubing at a depth location above the isolation plug to form one or more sealant injection holes fluidly coupling the production tubing and the tubing/casing annulus and directing a sealant into the production tubing such that the sealant enters the tubing/casing annulus through the one or more sealant injection holes.
