Pinhole repair method using epoxy and expandable mesh

A method to repair well completion components, the method comprising:

• evaluating tubing-casing annulus (TCA) communication to locate a leak;
• determining a placement depth for a tubing mesh stent assembly;
• preparing the tubing mesh stent assembly, a first reactive epoxy-containing compound, and a second reactive epoxy-containing compound at a well surface according to specifics of the well and the leak;
• impregnating the mesh stent with the second reactive epoxy-containing compound;
• performing workover operations to remove one or more of production tubing and equipment blocking access to the leak;
• installing a retrievable plug as a barrier below the placement depth to secure the well;
• running the tubing mesh stent assembly into the well to the leak depth using a shifting tool;
• expanding the tubing mesh stent assembly to firmly contact a wall of the well completion component being repaired;
• setting the tubing mesh stent assembly in place using a plurality of packers positioned at each end of the tubing mesh stent assembly;
• pumping the first reactive epoxy-containing compound through the tubing mesh stent assembly to fill the leak;
• allowing all epoxy-containing compounds to react to cure,
• removing the shifting tool and reversing workover operations to resume normal production including removing the retrievable plug;
• and
• testing the well under pressure to ensure integrity at normal operating conditions;
• wherein the mesh stent is configured to absorb and retain the second reactive epoxy-containing compound.
