Procedures for selective water shut off of passive ICD compartments

A method for shutting off a wet interval of a wellbore, the method comprising:

• producing hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon bearing subterranean formation through a production string installed in the wellbore, where the production string comprises:
• production tubing;
• a plurality of packers separating the wellbore into a plurality of intervals;
• and
• a plurality of passive inflow control devices positioned across one or more of the plurality of intervals;
• identifying the wet interval of the wellbore, where the production string in the wet interval comprises at least one of the plurality of passive inflow control devices;
• perforating the production string in the wet interval using an explosive-free punch tool to produce a plurality of openings in the production string in the wet interval;
• isolating the production string in the wet interval from uphole segments of the production string, downhole segments of the production string, or both;
• treating the wet interval with a sealing composition injected through the plurality of openings into an annulus of the wellbore in the wet interval;
• restoring a fluid flow path through the production string in the wet interval, where:
• restoring a fluid flow path through the production string in the wet interval comprises:
• removing an inflatable cement retainer disposed within the production string at an uphole end of the wet interval;
• cleaning out the sealing composition from a central cavity of the production string in the wet interval;
• and
• removing an inflatable packer disposed within the production string at a downhole end of the wet interval;
• the fluid flow path through the production string in the wet interval enables production of hydrocarbons from downhole intervals through the wet interval to a surface of the wellbore;
• and
• the sealing composition cured in the annulus provides a barrier to prevent fluid flow from the wet interval into the fluid flow path.
