Patent-family-78598875

The present invention relates to a downhole assembly for permanently sealing off a control line controlling a well component of a well tubular metal structure prior to plug and abandonment of a well having a top, comprising a first part of a tubular line, a second part of the tubular line, a downhole closure unit arranged between the first part and the second part of the tubular line and comprising a first element comprising a first opening, a second opening and fluid communication channel between the first opening and the second opening, the first opening being arranged closer to the top than the second opening, the first opening having a first connection to the first part of the tubular line, and the second opening having a second connection to the second part of the tubular line, wherein the first element has a first outer shape in a first state in which the fluid communication channel is open and a second outer shape in a second state in which the fluid communication channel is closed, the second shape being at least partly different from the first outer shape. The invention also relates to a downhole system comprising a well tubular metal structure having an outer face, and the downhole assembly being connected to the outer face and/or the downhole annular barrier. Finally, the invention relates to a method of permanently closing fluid communication in the downhole assembly for permanently sealing off a control line prior to plug and abandonment of a well.
