Abstract

A method of servicing a wellbore comprising preparing a liquid plug, allowing the liquid plug to polymerize into a highly deformable elastic plug, and placing the highly deformable elastic plug into a wellbore. A method of servicing a wellbore comprising preparing a liquid plug, allowing the liquid plug to polymerize into a highly deformable elastic plug, combining the highly deformable elastic plug with at least one conventional plug to form plug combination, and placing the plug combination into a wellbore. A method of servicing a wellbore comprising preparing a liquid plug, allowing the liquid plug to polymerize into a highly deformable elastic plug, placing the highly deformable elastic plug into a wellbore, and deforming the highly deformable elastic plug.
