Method of plugging a well

A method of plugging a well in a plug and abandonment procedure, comprising:

• providing a tubing in a wellbore, wherein in a location for a well plug, the tubing is provided with an internal cable section placed inside of the tubing;
• and
• forming a plug in the well in said location for the well plug across the width of the tubing and a surrounding wellbore annulus to create a permanent barrier without pulling the tubing from the wellbore, wherein said step of forming the plug comprises substantially removing the internal cable section inside the tubing and forming a fluid-tight seal in the tubing where the internal cable section has been removed, for separating, on either side of the seal, first and second fluid volumes of the tubing,
• wherein in the location for the well plug, the tubing is provided with an external cable section placed outside of the tubing, the external cable section comprising a fluid-tight cable suitable for forming a sealing part of the well plug.
