Annular blowout preventer (BOP) packing unit with integrated secondary sealing compound

A method of sealing a well, comprising:

• actuating an annular blowout preventer, wherein the blowout preventer comprises a piston and a packing unit, the packing unit comprising a packer body having an opening formed therethrough;
• urging the piston against the packing unit, wherein the packing unit comprises a first material which is in a solid form and a second material which is in a fluid form when within the packing unit;
• compressing the packing unit and thereby constricting the opening with the first material;
• and
• sealing gaps between a tool and the first material with the second material when the tool is disposed through the opening.

A method of sealing an annulus of a well, comprising:

• actuating an annular blowout preventer, wherein the annular blowout preventer comprises a packing unit and an internal chamber connected to an annulus, wherein the internal chamber comprises a sealing compound in a fluid state;
• constricting the packing unit such that the packing unit tightens around an internal pipe;
• expelling at least a portion of the fluid sealing compound from the internal chamber into the annulus;
• hardening the sealing compound such that a hardened sealing compound and the packing unit form a seal within the annulus.
