Well abandonment and severance of control lines

Abstract

A method may include injecting a sealing material into an annulus formed between a tubular and a wellbore wall. The sealing material is configured to surround at least a portion of a control line disposed in the annulus. Further, the method includes making at least one orbital cut, via a cutting device, through the tubular, the sealing material in the annulus, and the control line surrounded by the sealing material. Additionally, the method includes filling the at least one orbital cut and at least a portion of a central bore of the tubular with additional sealing material to seal the wellbore.
