Apparatus and Method for Positioning of a Fluidized Plugging Material in an Oil Well or Gas Well

A method of providing a permanent or temporary plug in a well, wherein the plug is provided by means of a fluidized plugging material which is carried into the well from a surface of the well, wherein the method comprises:

• using an apparatus for use when positioning a fluidized plugging material in a well the apparatus comprising;
• a carrier body defined by an endless side portion extending between a first end portion and a second end portion;
• and
• at least one displacement member arranged on the carrier body, wherein the apparatus also comprises a driving device connected to the carrier body for allowing the carrier body to be set in motion;
• and
• wherein the displacement member is defined by the surface of the carrier body and a free end portion facing outwards from the carrier body;
• thereby allowing the fluidized plugging material to be set in motion in the well upon allowing the driving device to set the carrier body and the displacement member in motion in the well;
• moving the apparatus into the well;
• setting the apparatus in motion and supplying the fluidized plugging material from the surface of the well;
• continuing moving the apparatus for a predetermined time after having supplied all of the plugging material;
• and
• pulling the apparatus out of the well.
