Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a method of achieving hydraulic zonal isolation by use of a deployable isolation assembly (22) and zonal isolation drilling tool. The deployable isolation assembly is lowered downhole to the region where hydraulic seal loss has occurred. The zonal isolation drilling tool is capable of drilling into the formation layer, pumping zonal isolation fluid and plugging the hole in a single trip. Evaluation of isolation and job progress can also be performed.
