Abstract
A method for improving sealing in boreholes includes temperature controlling seals to maintain sealing loading by managing temperature of the seal to a target temperature range. A borehole system includes a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, a seal tool in contact with the string and temperature controller within or in thermal proximity to the seal.
