Selective isolation of surface controlled gas lift valve

A method of wellbore operations comprising:

• flowing a produced fluid in a bore of a tubular disposed in a wellbore;
• injecting a secondary fluid into the tubular that mixes with the produced fluid;
• controlling injection of the secondary fluid with a valve that is coupled to the tubular;
• introducing a substance into the tubular that is in the tubular for a designated period of time;
• and
• shielding the valve from the substance for at least the designated period of time.

A system for use in wellbore operations comprising:

• a wellhead assembly mounted over a wellbore;
• a tubular in the wellbore in communication with the wellhead assembly;
• a valve coupled with the tubular;
• a flow path between a bore in the tubular and the valve;
• and
• a plug in the flow path comprising a material that over time changes from being cohesive and forming a barrier to fluid communication along the flow path to a degraded state and allows fluid communication along the flow path.
